GRAVITI remote control containers streamline shiploading
In today’s fast-paced global economy, the shipping industry plays a critical role in connecting businesses and consumers from all corners of the world. However, as the demand for faster and more efficient shipping continues to grow, so too does the need for new and advanced technologies to keep pace.
The shipping industry is constantly looking for ways to improve efficiency and reduce costs. One new technology that is gaining attention are GRAVITI sea containers with remote control for unloading. These containers are designed specifically for loading dry cargo — including coal — into ships, and they offer a number of advantages over traditional loading methods.
The main advantage of GRAVITI containers is that they are self-unloading, which means that they can secure direct loading of dry cargo from rear warehouses to the ship’s hold. This can save up to 35% of the cost of loading, making it a highly cost-effective solution. Additionally, GRAVITI containers are suitable for most types of bulk cargo, meaning that they can be used for a wide range of shipping needs. Another advantage of GRAVITI containers is that they require no additional hardware. This makes them easy to use and eliminates the need for costly equipment rentals. Furthermore, GRAVITI containers have a loading speed of up to 900 tonnes per hour, which means that they can quickly and efficiently load cargo onto ships.
One of the most unique features of GRAVITI containers is that they allow uninterrupted use of two or more cranes at once for loading. This makes them ideal for use with STS (ship-to-shore) cranes, which can double the loading speed. GRAVITI containers are also ready to go with a crane, container grab, or even a traverse.

The containers are also built to last during every load, and can guarantee 500 working cycles without recharging. A full battery charge takes only four to five hours and the company offers 24 months warranty service. There are two models available: a 30m3 container and a 40m3 container.
GRAVITI containers are produced in Latvia by a team of experienced naval engineers and have been designed with deep knowledge of maritime port needs.

The use of GRAVITI containers not only improves efficiency and reduces costs, but it also has a positive impact on the environment. By streamlining the loading process and reducing the need for additional equipment, GRAVITI containers help to lower emissions and reduce the


Overall Environmental Impact Of The
shipping industry.
In 2022, more than 150 ships were loaded with GRAVITI containers, handling about 1.5 million tonnes of cargo. The company has not received any claims, breakdowns, or returns, which is a testament to the reliability and effectiveness of these containers. To date, GRAVITI has sold about 60 containers worldwide, and has an exclusive distributor for India and the region.
Overall, GRAVITI containers offer a highly efficient and cost-effective solution for loading dry cargo into ships. With high loading speeds and a durable design, they are positioned to become a known name in the shipping industry. As the demand for sustainable and efficient shipping solutions continues to grow, GRAVITI containers are a technology worth considering. With their ability to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and decrease environmental impact, it is likely that more and more ships will be loaded with GRAVITI containers in the coming years.
The global shipping industry is facing increased regulatory pressure as governments around the world look to reduce emissions. This can include new requirements for sector players to be equipped with more advanced technology, capable of minimizing emissions. This can lead to higher costs for companies, but GRAVITI perfectly fits this trend and is proud to be a sustainable and environmentally friendly technology. As the shipping industry continues to evolve and adapt to new technologies, GRAVITI is well-positioned to be a pioneer in the field. With its innovative and reliable sea containers, the company is helping to shape the future of the industry and making a real difference in the way cargo is transported around the world. In the coming years, GRAVITI plans to expand its product line, introducing new container models and developing new technologies to meet the evolving needs of the shipping industry.
