I'm not sure about the specific checks for preparing cargo cranes for operation on a General Cargo ship. However, some important checks may include:

1. Check that all the necessary equipment, such as winches, brakes, and emergency stops, are functioning correctly and in good working condition.
2. Ensure that all limit switches are not in use, the wires are clean and well-connected, and any emergency stops are properly isolated.
3. Verify that the crane wire or cables are adequately greased and maintained for smooth and safe operation.

These checks are crucial to ensure that the cargo cranes are in proper working order and can be operated safely by shore personnel. It is always essential to consult the manufacturer's guidelines or relevant operational procedures specific to the cargo cranes on the ship.
