Future Proofing Your Marine Loading Arms

03-10-2025

Marine Loading Arm Services are essential for keeping terminals safe, efficient, and fully operational. These critical systems handle the transfer of liquids and gases between ship and shore, often under challenging conditions, so their reliability is absolutely vital. A failure or unplanned downtime can be costly, disrupt schedules, and even create safety and environmental risks.

That’s why regular inspection, maintenance, and repair shouldn’t be an afterthought. At EWFM, we offer marine loading arm services covering inspection, servicing, repair or a full overhaul. Our focus is on keeping your equipment safe, compliant, and performing reliably, so your operations run smoothly every time your loading arms are in use.

Why Looking After Your Marine Loading Arm is Crucial:

Marine loading arms are exposed to some of the toughest conditions in industrial operations. Constant movement, heavy loads and exposure to harsh weather or corrosive products mean wear and tear is inevitable. Without regular attention, small issues such as worn seals, stiff swivel joints or leaks can quickly become major problems, leading to downtime, costly repairs or even safety incidents.

Proper maintenance and servicing also ensure compliance with safety and environmental regulations. Terminals rely on these arms to transfer hazardous products safely, and any failure can result in spills, fines or damage to your reputation. Beyond safety and compliance, well-maintained loading arms perform more reliably, reducing delays and helping your operations run smoothly. Simply put, looking after your marine loading arms isn’t just good practice, it’s essential for efficiency, safety and long-term cost savings.

Our Marine Loading Arm Services:

At EWFM, we offer four types of marine loading arm services to help keep your equipment safe, reliable and performing for years to come.

Marine Loading Arm Inspection

Regular inspections are key to spotting potential issues before they become major problems. Our inspections cover critical components such as swivel joints, seals, counterweights and hydraulics, helping you prevent leaks, breakdowns and costly downtime.

Marine Loading Arm Servicing

Servicing ensures that your loading arms continue to operate smoothly. This includes adjustments, lubrication and general maintenance to optimise performance and extend the life of your equipment.

Marine Loading Arm Repair

When faults or damage occur, fast and effective repair is essential to minimise disruption. EWFM provides solutions to restore your loading arms safely, helping you get operations back on track.

Marine Loading Arm Overhaul

An overhaul involves a full strip-down and refurbishment of your loading arms. This is ideal for equipment approaching the end of its life, allowing you to maximise longevity and, if needed, integrate upgrades or improvements.
