Maritime Crane Services Anchored in Rostock with OEM Support and Global Lifecycle Expertise

Dedicated Maritime Crane Services

In the maritime market, OIS‑Conbit focuses exclusively on crane services, supporting vessels, ports, shipyards, operators, and crane OEMs worldwide. Maritime cranes operate in demanding environments where safety, compliance, and availability are critical. Our teams deliver well‑prepared, offshore‑proven crane services that support daily operations as well as complex technical scopes. By combining disciplined engineering with practical execution, OIS‑Conbit helps maritime clients and OEMs maintain reliable crane performance throughout the asset lifecycle.

Rostock as Our Maritime Hub

Rostock is the main maritime footprint of OIS‑Conbit and the central hub for our crane service activities. Located on the Baltic Sea, Rostock provides direct access to key maritime routes, ports, and industrial infrastructure. From this location, we coordinate statutory inspections, maintenance, troubleshooting, refurbishment, and lifecycle support for maritime cranes. Having our core teams and technical expertise based in Rostock enables close collaboration with clients and OEMs, strong preparation, and effective control over execution.

Supporting OEMs Through Strong Supplier Relationships

OIS‑Conbit has built strong working relationships with many crane suppliers and OEMs active in the maritime segment. We regularly support OEMs with inspections, commissioning support, troubleshooting, upgrades, and lifecycle services for installed crane fleets. These long‑standing relationships are based on technical understanding, transparency, and trust. By working closely with crane suppliers, we ensure that maintenance and refurbishment activities align with OEM requirements while remaining practical and efficient for operators.

Global Reach Through Conbit Locations and Partners

While Rostock remains our operational heart, OIS‑Conbit is supported by Conbit’s international locations in Schiedam, Houston, and Kuala Lumpur, providing additional engineering capacity and regional access. A broad global partner network extends our reach further, with local support in regions including Nigeria, the UAE, Thailand, Guyana, Angola, and beyond. This structure enables local execution with central engineering control. Across all projects, our maritime crane services cover the fulllife cycle, from statutory inspections and general maintenance to refurbishment and long‑term asset support, delivered with strong preparation and transparent communication.
