The S.P.E.C. Method
Safety. Production. Efficiency. Communication.
S – Safety
The cornerstone of S.P.E.C. is MAXIMUM STANDOFF DISTANCE AVAILABLE. Operators within the same hold are never overlapping in danger zones. Operators are always aligned, reducing risk even in the event of mechanical failure. In fog, steam or dust operations continue safely.
P – Production
With every operator on the same page from tie-up to final sweep, delays, missteps, and stoppages are virtually eliminated. Terminals experience a lift in productivity—with a noticeable gain in discharge speed and zero hesitations or confusion.
E – Efficiency
Material is moved with intention. Crane operators are fed by ground equipment using the shortest and safest material paths, while trim gear operators follow precise placement guidelines. Every move matters. Nothing is left to chance.
C - Communication
From ship-to-shore radios to a new text chain for each ship, S.P.E.C. Training Program ensures a clear, redundant line of communication across all parties. The digital Hub Log records real-time updates, accessible to deck managers. The patterns used become an unwritten and unspoken form of communication.
