BULK CARRIER TRADE & FLEET OUTLOOK
Grain and soya trade growing avourable influences affecting commodity import demand in numerous countries have become more prominent. World seaborne dry bulk trade volume is likely to grow substantially in 2023, but prospects for a continuation of this trend next year are hazy. Stronger dry bulk trade is unfolding despite restraints on global economic activity preventing acceleration. A feature of this pattern is China’s difficulty in sustaining a rebound after the adverse effects caused by pandemic controls. In its latest (mid-September) update the OECD organization suggests that world gross domestic product growth in 2023 could be below last year’s 3.3%, down to 3.0%, followed by a further slowing next year.
F
GRAIN & SOYA Amid extra import demand in several countries, global trade in soyabeans and meal could increase by 1% in the 2023/24 October/September year now starting, based on US Department of Agriculture (September) estimates. The total is calculated at 233mt (million tonnes), as shown in table 1, following a 3% rise to 230mt in the 2022/23 year that has just ended. The largest part of this commodity trade segment, wheat plus corn and other coarse grains, is also expected to grow, but somewhat more vigorously. In this category USDA analysts estimate a 2% rise to 432mt, reversing a reduction
to 424mt in the previous twelve months. While China’s soya imports are now seen as diminishing to 100mt in the year ahead, wheat and coarse grain imports may be 11% higher at just over 50mt.
COAL Forecasts for world coal trade in 2023 have been raised since earlier this year, despite emerging evidence of a downturn in Europe following that region’s rising volumes during the past two years. Although carbon reduction policies in many countries are still an underlying adverse influence on coal consumption, trade is proving to be well supported. Reported views expressed at a recent major international conference point to positive influences continuing to benefit imports into Asia, comprising the largest part of global coal trade. According to these opinions coal is widely seen as the most economical and secure form of energy for growing economies across Asia in the years ahead. Renewable sources of energy for power generation and the electricity grid investments required to facilitate these may not expand fast enough.
IRON ORE Another commodity exceeding earlier expectations for 2023 is iron ore, now predicted to see significant growth in world trade volume this year. The upturn after last year’s weakness is occurring even though signs of strength in many
ore-importing countries are limited, and some are likely to experience reductions. The main element of strength is China. Iron ore imports into China during the first eight months of 2023 totalled 776mt, a 52mt or 7% increase compared with the last year’s same period. Steel production rose less strongly however, by 2%, supported by higher exports of steel products. It is unclear whether the buoyant iron ore imports trend will be sustained through the months ahead and into next year.
MINOR BULKS Among minor dry bulk commodities, signs of trade expansion in 2023 are not widespread but some growth seems likely to partly reverse last year’s decline in this category as a whole. Estimates suggest that a large reduction in cement trade could occur this year, offsetting much of the added volumes predicted to emerge elsewhere.
BULK CARRIER FLEET About a quarter of the world bulk carrier fleet is comprised of Panamax (70–99,999 deadweight tonnes) size ships, including Kamsarmax vessels. As shown in table 2, this size group expanded by almost 4% in 2022 based on Clarksons Research data, reaching 3032 ships totalling 246m dwt at yearend. A further 3% may be added by end-December 2023, reflecting higher newbuilding deliveries and more scrapping.

A strong recovery in Europe’s coal imports unfolded over the past two years, but the 2023 volume is unlikely to maintain the upwards trend and a reduction seems predictable. Reviving energy use after the coronavirus pandemic, coupled with further energy market tightening amid the effects of the conflict in Ukraine, resulted in rising coal imports. That boost is now fading, and longer term constraints on European coal demand caused by environmental policy influences are resuming downwards pressure. Despite the recent recovery, European coal imports are well below the levels seen a few years ago. However annual volumes remain a sizeable part of the world coal market. Accordingly, numerous cargoes to destinations around Europe are carried by bulk carriers of varying capacities. Related discharging activity at many bulk
commodity handling ports throughout the region, both in northern Europe and the Mediterranean area is a feature. In 2022 imports into the European Union plus United Kingdom comprised about 10% of global seaborne coal trade. Steam coal, used mainly in power stations, comprises the largest proportion received, contributing about two-thirds of the European volume. Coking coal for steel industry use contributes the remainder. Positive influences last year were seen mainly in the steam coal category because the impact of tight energy supplies, especially natural gas, shifted the focus to alternative sources including coal. Germany is the biggest individual coal importer, forming one-third of the regional volume as shown in the table. Italy and Netherlands are the next largest, together comprising about a fifth. France, Spain and
the United Kingdom contribute under a fifth. One common explanation for changing annual volumes is the closure of many or most coal-fired power stations, over a period of years, causing reduced consumption and imports.
BACKGROUND EVENTS Broad economic trends affecting energy usage are one of the influences determining Europe’s coal demand and imports. Regional and national government environmental and energy policy pressures are also prominent. The European economy’s revival from the adverse impact of the pandemic has slowed sharply, amid much higher inflation and the rising interest rates imposed to control prices rises. The latest outlook for the world economy published by the OECD organization in mid-September suggested

that gross domestic product growth in the eurozone group of countries could diminish from a brisk 3.4% last year to a minimal 0.6% in 2023. Moreover, next year may see only a slight improvement to a 1.1% growth rate. These subdued forecasts reflect the changes seen over the past eighteen months when rising inflation was exacerbated in particular by energy shortages and price rises. Disposable incomes were reduced, and central banks’ actions raising interest rates numerous times to restrict activity and price increases had a further negative impact across Europe. Energy demand including coal
consumption is affected by the downturn. OECD economists in the recent analysis suggest that in the eurozone GDP growth could edge up next year “as the adverse impact of high inflation on real incomes fades”. However the slight acceleration envisaged seems to be a tentative expectation, and probably will not have much noticeable impact on demand for energy. Coal consumption patterns will depend upon how activity in the main consuming sectors — power stations and steel mills — progresses. Output trends in these sectors are likely to be curbed by the background of continuing sluggish

economic activity. Assuming that recent improvements in the region’s overall energy supplies are maintained, steam coal usage and imports could be further restrained.
CHANGING IMPORT VOLUMES During 2022 coal imports into the European Union plus United Kingdom increased strongly for the second consecutive year. All the principal importing countries recorded increases in the past twelve months. Based on the trend so far this year and signs of volumes in future months the current pattern suggests 2023 annual reductions will be

experienced in most countries. Imports of coal by sea into the EU+UK in 2022 totalled 121mt (million tonnes), a rise of 31mt or 34% compared with the previous year, based on Clarksons Research data and Bulk Shipping Analysis calculations, summarized in the table. Especially high growth rates were seen in Italy, Netherlands, Spain and UK. The regional expansion followed a 29% increase in the total to 90mt during 2021. European imports within the coking coal segment increased by 20% to about 33mt in 2021, before rising by 9% to 36mt last year. In the larger steam coal component a 35% increase to 57mt in 2021 was followed by a 49% rise to 85mt in 2022. Coking coal is an essential ingredient used in the production of steel by the blast furnace/pig iron process. Steam coal, especially the volumes used by power stations, can be substituted by other fuels or replaced by renewable power generation. EU+UK coal imports, at 10% of the world total last year, have not regained the larger proportion of global seaborne trade seen several years ago, at 12%. Tough European environmental policies have ensured that, despite the past two recovery years, the earlier contribution has not been fully regained. Among individual European importers Germany is still the largest coal buyer, even though its annual volume is well below that seen previously. Seaborne steam and coking coal received by German power stations, steel mills and other users totalled 52mt in 2016, comprising 36% of the EU+UK quantity. Last year’s 41mt total saw Germany retaining the biggest percentage share of the overall volume, at 34%. Elsewhere in Europe, Spain’s steam coal imports were under half of the 2017 total of 17mt last year, at 8mt, as shown by the table. In Italy the overall steam and coking coal imports decline over the same period was from 16mt, to 12mt, while Netherlands saw a reduction from 14mt, to 11mt. France experienced a halving of annual overall coal imports to 8mt. A category in the table labelled ‘other EU+UK’ coal imports saw a rise of about a tenth during the 2017 to 2022 period, to 41.3mt. One component, UK imports, was weak, declining by 18% to 6mt in the period. Adjacent to the European area, Turkey is also a significant coal
importer, receiving large annual volumes in recent years. The 2022 total was 23mt, similar to that of the previous twelve months and continuing a fairly stable trend. Steam coal mainly for power station use is the chief component, comprising nearly four-fifths.
COAL MARKET DRIVERS One of the main trends adversely affecting coal usage and imports in numerous European countries in recent years was an extensive programme of coal-fired power station closures. Many plants were shut down or idled, or their capacity utilization declined. This trend was attributed by Euracoal, the European Association for Coal and Lignite, to high Emissions Trading System carbon prices, effectively rendering coal uncompetitive against other energy sources. The rapid shift towards alternative energy sources was an accompanying trend. In particular, increasing availability of renewable energy supplies, especially windturbine generated electricity, was prominent. But these influences were modified in the past few years by changes in economic activity, energy usage and coal consumption patterns reflecting the pandemic, and then by the consequences for the energy and coal markets in Europe of the war in Ukraine. Another influence, changes in domestic coal production volumes within Europe and effects on overall market supplies, now has only a limited impact on import demand because this output is relatively small. Closures of uneconomic mines have been seen in recent years. Among coal importing
countries, hard coal production is now mostly confined to Poland. Low grade lignite (brown coal) is mined mostly in Germany and Poland, but also in several other countries. In 2022, according to Euracoal figures, Germany produced 131mt of lignite while hard coal output was nil. Poland’s production was 55mt lignite plus 53mt hard coal. There was also under 1mt of UK hard coal output from remaining small mines. Elsewhere among EU importing countries domestic hard coal production was insignificant. As a result of the diminished influence of changes in coal output in Europe, coal consumption trend changes have become the main influence affecting European countries’ purchases on the international market. Steel mills’ use of, and import demand for, coking coal remained fairly flat in several years before the pandemic downturn, since when it has partly recovered, broadly reflecting steel production progress. In the steam coal segment, energy market changes often driven by government policy decisions are now a much greater influence on coal use and imports. A downturn when the pandemic occurred was followed by a revival and in 2022 the shortages of natural gas caused by the war in Ukraine added upwards momentum to coal’s contribution to the energy market. Based on Energy Institute calculations, Europe’s electricity generation from coal during 2022 contributed one-sixth of all electricity generated, similar to the 2019 proportion but well below the proportion

TRADE & COMMODITIES recorded in preceding years. Meanwhile renewables generation from wind, solar, hydro and biofuels has risen strongly. Longer term downwards pressures on coal use in power stations and the direction of the trend are emphasized by these statistics. The principle shares of Europe’s electricity generation in 2022 comprised nuclear (19%) and renewables — wind and solar power — (27%). The remainder was comprised mostly of gas (20%), coal (17%) and hydro-electric (15%). But the renewables contribution is subject to considerable short-term variations because of its dependence upon often unpredictable weather conditions. It is therefore not entirely reliable, unless power supplies can be stored in batteries which are not generally available on the scale required to serve national electricity grids.

POLICY PRESSURES
DCi 8
A long-established environmental policy priority within the European Union is to promote cleaner energy resources and reduce air pollution. Cutting greenhouse gas emissions by decarbonizing energyconsuming activities is a central aim. One major focus has been coal-fired power stations, especially large-scale plants, many of which were phased-out. Substitution with gas-fired units, and intensive development of renewable energy — with wind power generation becoming a feature — has been evident. Policy measures agreed by EU member countries — such as the Emissions Trading Scheme, air pollution directives and renewable energy targets — affect how much coal is used. The objective is an emphasis on sustainability, mitigating climate change in particular. Also, more attention has been given to other aspects such as energy security and industrial competitiveness. Coal continues to be part of the ‘baseload’ reliable generation capacity still
needed in a number of European countries. The EU retains import-dependent coalfired plants operating, despite the intention to reduce and eliminate coal’s contribution in the power sector, probably ensuring a substantial albeit declining steam coal market in the years ahead. Plans previously revealed by European countries envisaged ceasing power generation from coal by set dates during the period up to the end of the present decade. In France, Italy, Netherlands and the UK deadlines announced were within the 2022–2029 period. In Germany, which has the largest coal-fired plant sector, a later target date of 2038 was proposed for phasing out electricity generation from both hard coal and lignite. The falling cost of renewable energy technology has aided this process. Enhanced wind and solar power efficiency and often lower costs have altered the economics of and perceptions for alternative energy supplies. But in numerous countries closing coal-fired power stations is a major and extended procedure. Switching to other energy sources on the scale required to replace all coal-fired capacity is a change which could be prolonged over many years. Last year a significant additional policy influence implemented in August was the European Union’s ban on coal imports from Russia in response to the invasion of Ukraine, as part of the EU’s sanctions regime. Russian volumes had previously formed a large proportion of regional coal import supplies. This action resulted in European buyers seeking additional volumes from other suppliers around the world.
LOSING MOMENTUM Improving energy supplies in Europe have been evident this year, although there is still uncertainty about the short-term outlook into 2024, mainly because of the unpredictable effects of winter weather on
fuel consumption. Shortages have been eased by slowing economic activity, responding to inflationary trends and higher interest rates, a pattern that seems set to continue. Demand for the products of coal-consuming industries — electricity generation and steel production in particular — has moderated. Amid these influences, coal demand has weakened compared with last year’s levels and there has been less incentive to arrange import purchases. In a recent (July) update the International Energy Agency confirmed its assessment that the uplift in EU coal demand seen last year was “short-lived” and “a steep decline is forecast for subsequent years”. During the first half of 2023 according to IEA analysts, EU coal demand fell by about 16% and for the year as a whole (compared with 2022) a decline of about 17% is expected. This downturn is “driven by weaker economic prospects, lower gas prices, nuclear recovery and ample power production by renewable resources”. A decrease in European coal imports seems likely to result. The annual seaborne coal volume imported by the EU+UK area during 2023 could be down by perhaps around 10% from last year, as shown in the table, to under110mt, based on Bulk Shipping Analysis calculations. In the coking coal imports segment only limited signs of change have emerged, suggesting that the annual total may prove fairly stable, at about 36mt. The weakness unfolding is mostly concentrated in the steam coal segment — especially in the power generation market — which could see a large reduction to 70–75mt, partly reflecting destocking. Prospects for Europe’s coal imports in 2024 and beyond are largely speculative, because of the uncertainty surrounding energy market trends. But, even based on an assumption of improving albeit probably modest economic growth, other influences on coal consumption suggest a declining trend in imports is quite likely to persist. Environmental pressures seeking to cut greenhouse gas emissions are intensifying, as the world aims to limit the increase in these emissions by mid-century. Major industries such as power generation and steel production increasingly focus on decarbonizing their activities, so coal demand is likely to be further curtailed. Negative consequences for Europe’s coal imports are predictable, although the timing and magnitude of reductions is less predictable. Events in the past couple of years have demonstrated again that DCi forecasts often prove inaccurate.
OCEANS AND ASSETS
Meeting the industry’s growing demand for a versatile, high-performance coating that not only provides robust protection for different vessel areas but also aligns with environmental sustainability goals has become a top priority. This has taken on new urgency since MEPC80 earlier this year, with the outcomes from the meeting cementing shipping’s goals for GHG emissions reduction by at least 20% (striving for 30%) by 2030 and at least 70% (striving for 80%) by 2040. Hull coatings can be considered one of the original and most widely used forms of clean technology that enable more efficient and sustainable vessel performance. Every hull requires a coating. Nippon Paint Marine’s research centre, the first of its kind in the world for marine coatings suppliers, developed the world’s first tin-free antifouling paint ECOLOFLEX in 1991, and has provided environmentally friendly, high-quality, highperformance underwater products to the world and to tens of thousands of vessels ever since. Nippon Paint Marine’s technology actively supports shipping to reduce fouling and lower marine environmental pollution. The company created and launched the world’s first low-friction antifouling coating LF-SEA and the world’s only biocide-free SPC

Bulk carriers specifically face multiple challenges in addition to becoming more efficient, with corrosion and mechanical damage ranking as the highest risks for this vessel type. The need for robust and lasting protection against these challenges that bulk carriers encounter in daily operations is therefore essential. In line with this dynamic, Nippon Paint Marine was inspired by customers to develop NEOGUARD TOUGHNESS in 2018 following demand from shipowners for a more impact-resistant epoxy coating system for holds and hatch coatings. Mechanical damage to cargo holds from abrasive cargoes and high impact loading
ECO-CONSCIOUS INNOVATION THAT PROTECTS
coating, AQUATERRAS, which reduces frictional resistance by up to 15%, and fuel consumption & CO2 emission by up to 10%. With emphasis on additional marine life elements and responsibilities for coatings providers set by the IMO, including minimizing the translocation of invasive species, the coatings market plays a critical role in not only achieving maritime’s emission reduction targets, but also supporting the transition to a holistically greener and more sustainable shipping industry. In response to this need, NIPPON E-MARINE A/C LT introduced a two-pack, high-volume solid epoxy universal primer designed to minimize volatile organic compounds. This product falls under the NIPPON E-MARINE A/C category suitable for cold temperature applications. NIPPON E-MARINE A/C LT boasts exceptional anti-abrasion properties and resistance to water, seawater, and cathodic protection. This means that it is suitable for virtually all areas of a vessel, excluding ballast tanks. These applications encompass underwater hulls, boot tops, topsides, decks, holds, and more. Additionally, the coating’s compatibility with various finishing options enhances its versatility. NIPPON E-MARINE A/C LT addresses the pressing need for a high-performance epoxy coating while aligning with the industry’s ever-increasing sustainability goals. The next generation of the E-MARINE product series is Nippon Paint Marine’s universal primer NIPPON E-MARINE 2000, which also provides abrasion resistance and long-term corrosion protection and has coated more than 60 cargo holds with 450,000 litres of paint since 2021. The critical difference with E-MARINE 2000 is that more than 70% of a newbuild’s undercoat requirement can be met with just one system, as the solution is PSPC-compliant, meaning it is also certified for use as a ballast tank coating. Shipping has further to go in its journey to achieving its decarbonization goals whilst remaining efficient in the face of changing market dynamics, and wider macroeconomic and geo-political flux. Protecting bulk carriers with hull coatings that not only generate commercial savings but also consider the maritime industry’s sustainability objectives will continue to become more important for the voyage ahead.

ENHANCING BULK CARRIER PROTECTION IN TODAY’S MARKET
procedures is the primary reason that traditional coatings fail, which, if left unchecked, can lead to corrosion and structural failure. Nippon Paint Marine’s NEOGUARD TOUGHNESS, with its heavy-duty system, generates significant cost savings for ship operators by reducing the need for costly maintenance and lengthy downtime periods. The coating’s easy cleaning properties allow for quick and efficient turnaround between cargos, further contributing to reduced maintenance and repair work. The effectiveness of NEOGUARD is echoed by customers who have experienced its benefits first-hand. During Korea’s Showcase 2022, the President of SHL Maritime highlighted the tough performance and durability of the company’s NEOGUARD® range of hold coatings on its bulk carriers, a sentiment echoed by, a superintendent with Kumjin Shipping, who remarked, “Compared to other coatings, Nippon Paint Marine’s products perform better in terms of durability and adhesion property."
SHIPPING & TRANSPORT
Today, all areas of the shipping industry are under a global spotlight like never before. As global decarbonization regulations continue to increase and targets grow more ambitious, all stakeholders in the shipping supply chain from charterers and shippers to financiers are looking to maximize the operational and environmental efficiencies of their maritime partners to improve the sustainability and commerciality of transporting goods. The advent of new decarbonization regulations in 2023 such as the CII and EEXI, revised targets from MEPC 80, and further legislation on the horizon for January 2024, including shipping entering the EU’s Emissions Trading Scheme, are putting a price on carbon for maritime. This pressure results in even higher stakes when it comes to choosing solutions to ensure vessels are as efficient and competitive as possible and maintain asset value. Today’s market is awash with “clean technology” and digital solutions at varying stages of development and credibility. Barriers to entry include proven results, the viability of technology and the price of investment. Many shipowners are facing a turbulent market and cashflow pressures will only continue as they look to navigate not only the shipping industry’s decarbonization evolution but also its digitalization journey as well as global economic volatility. Risking capital on unproven or minimally trialled clean technology is simply not an option for many. This is therefore where the role of more cost-effective, proven technologies can bridge the gap and support shipping’s transition to becoming cleaner and more sustainable.

FAST COMMUNICATION
DCi 10
Combining the high speeds of Inmarsat’s Global Xpress Ka-band network with unlimited backup from its FleetBroadband L-band service, Fleet Xpress provides the continuous connectivity MOT needs to deliver high-quality services to its customers while advancing its digital transformation strategy. Captain Gregario C. Ogatis, Master of the MOTmanaged bulk carrier Santa Isabel, described Inmarsat’s connectivity solution as “very simple, convenient and fast”, adding that it allows onboard personnel to “communicate easily with shore”. Building on Ogatis’s remarks, Tesuro Ideguci, Chief Engineer, MOT, commented: “Inmarsat’s
for continuous connectivity Fleet Xpress has allowed us to communicate with external parties and receive information very quickly, which is extremely beneficial. Thanks to Fleet Xpress, I believe the way we work on land and sea will change significantly in the future, and we will see improvements in all aspects of information exchange.” As well as supporting fast and seamless business communications, Fleet Xpress helps crew members make the most of their free time by allowing them to keep in touch with family and friends and enjoy online entertainment on their own devices — without interfering with mission-critical connectivity. Using synthetic virtual networks, Fleet Xpress delivers bandwidth in segregated pipelines, with each essential service allocated its own dedicated route to the user. The bandwidth used outside of these essential services also receives its own pipeline, ensuring connectivity for both business and leisure, and achieves the highest standards in speed, reliability, and security.
ENHANCED EFFICIENCY, REDUCED FUEL CONSUMPTION Santa Isabel also benefits from Inmarsat’s Fleet Data, a maritime Internet-of-Things (IoT) platform that provides full data ownership and access from a single customizable dashboard. Fleet Data transforms the way ship owners and managers collect, transfer, analyse, store, and share vessel data for quick performance-based and historical benchmarking across the fleet. These insights support enhanced decision-making for more efficient and sustainable operations. Fleet Data is available on the Fleet Edge platform — a versatile, fully integrated modular solution giving Santa Isabel a path to operational efficiency, decarbonization, and enhanced crew welfare over the Fleet Xpress network. Shunsuke Miyazaki, General Manager, Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) Shipping, which owns Santa Isabel among other MOT-chartered or managed ships, commented: “In the trend towards global decarbonization, the key is how to operate vessels more efficiently to reduce fuel consumption. We use Fleet Data to send information from the ship in realtime, and we leverage these insights to improve operational efficiency.” For the two MC-owned vessels already deploying Fleet Data, Miyazaki added, the IoT platform has reduced fuel consumption and helped to ensure operations run according to schedule.
CONNECTIVITY WITH CERTAINTY As the maritime industry becomes increasingly digitalized, more and more shipping companies are embracing new technologies and upgrading their satellite communications services to enable digitalization, decarbonization, and crew connectivity. This is why so many shipping companies rely on the Fleet Xpress suite of services — all delivered through our world-leading satellite network. “We are delighted to support Mitsubishi Ore Transport solutions in driving the adoption of digital services on board,” said Gert-Jan Panken,Vice President Sales, Inmarsat. “Inmarsat’s services are built to deliver control over the entire connectivity ecosystem. With Fleet Xpress, shipping companies like MOT gain access to a host of opportunities to optimize and drive efficiency, the ability to attract and retain the most talented crew, and the capacity to future-proof operations and build-in competitive advantages.

Shipshave scoops coveted tech innovation award for in-transit hull cleaning solution Shipshave has emerged as the winner of the coveted Most Innovative Proven Technology Award in the inaugural SNIC Innovation Awards for its cuttingedge in-transit cleaning of hulls (ITCH) solution that removes biofouling during a voyage to boost fuel efficiency and decarbonization. The keenly contested prize was among three technology awards handed out at the Singapore Norway Innovation Conference (SNIC) 2023, with the theme Innovate to Zero, that is hosted annually in the Lion City by the Norwegian Business Association Singapore (NBAS). Shipshave earned the accolade for having “the most innovative commercial-ready and implementable solutions or products proven to impact the maritime industry through improving operational efficiency, sustainability or decarbonization”, according to the award citation.
The technology, initially trialled in 2019, is now being implemented in fleet operations by several major industry players following successful testing on a number of vessels. Stolt Tankers reported a marked reduction in fuel consumption following an initial trial of ITCH on its vessel Stolt Acer during a voyage from Port Said, Egypt to Algeciras, Spain and has expanded trials of the solution to five more ships. “We utilize ITCH as a mean to reduce additional drag due to fouling, hence reducing emissions to the atmosphere and improving efficiency of the fleet. It also represents a nice example of collaborative effort among Shipshave and Stolt Tankers,” says Stolt Tankers’ Energy and Conservation Manager, Jose Gonzalez Celis. Klaveness Combination Carriers is expanding roll-out of the robots across its fleet with five additional units after pilots on four vessels showed fuel efficiency improvements of between 2–5%. Furthermore, Teekay Tankers plans to install Shipshave on four more vessels this year after a successful trial.

STRONG ENDORSEMENT
DCi 12
The Stavanger-based company was selected among a strong field of candidates for the award by an expert jury including Innovation Norway’s technology advisor Per Christer Lund and DNV Maritime’s Regional Manager South East Asia, Pacific & India, Cristina Saenz de Santa Maria. The award was presented to Shipshave’s Regional Sales & Marketing Director – APAC, Charlie Lim, by NBAS President Leonard Stornes, who headed the jury. “We are extremely honoured and delighted to have secured this award, which represents a strong endorsement of our unique low-cost solution to reduce biofouling en-route, thereby contributing to cleaner hulls with less drag to cut fuel consumption and emissions,” says Shipshave’s CEO Aage Hoejmark. He continues: “This is a well-deserved recognition of the work done by our team together with our partners and early adopters. Innovation Norway and the Norwegian Research Council also deserves an honourable mention for having contributed to the funding of the ITCH development.” Shipshave’s ITCH solution is a semiautonomous hull-cleaning robot that can be deployed by the crew from a portable winch mounted on the forecastle deck.
The robotic tool harvests propulsion energy to stay attached to the hull and swipe up and down the hull underwater using soft brushes. An integrated video camera on the device enables real-time monitoring of the hull cleaning process and post-cleaning inspection via the ITCH digital application.
IMPLEMENTATION BY INDUSTRY It is estimated the technology can clean between 80–90% of the parallel/vertical area of a Handysize bulker’s hull during sailing in a five-hour operation, with typical OPEX of less than $250 per cleaning. Proactive cleaning of the vessel to prevent fouling, which increases viscous resistance and vessel drag in the water, results in better hull performance due to improved hydrodynamics that cuts fuel use. According to the IMO’s GloFouling report, well maintained hulls can contribute to a 5–25% reduction in GHG emissions. This means vessel speed can be maintained during transit while still meeting CII requirements, thereby avoiding slow steaming that involves costly derating of the engine, according to Hoejmark.
FUEL SAVINGS A fuel consumption assessment conducted by DNV found that Shipshave’s technology can deliver fuel savings of around 10% when used regularly. Shipshave is designed as a proactive solution for hull cleaning as an alternative to retroactive cleaning in ports. This avoids the need for offhire deviations to approved ports for cleaning with associated scheduling and logistics, while also saving time on port turnarounds, Hoejmark explains. There are further environmental benefits as being able to remove and dispose of fouling mid-ocean rather than in port curbs the spread of non-indigenous invasive species to coastal ecosystems. This also prevents deposits of biocide and plastic residues due to erosion of antifouling coatings with heavy-duty cleaning in port. “Our mission is to redefine hull maintenance, enabling the crew to take control over hull performance and thereby improve voyage efficiency,” says Shipshave’s founder Rune Freyer.
Actively participating at the International Maritime Organization, where it has held NGO status since the early 1990s, INTERCARGO is at the heart of
global efforts to create a safe, efficient, high quality and environmentally friendly shipping industry.
ABOUT INTERCARGO International shipping is vital for the global economy and prosperity as it transports
approximately 90% of world trade. The dry bulk sector is the largest shipping sector in terms of number of ships and deadweight. Dry bulk carriers account for 43% of the world fleet (in tonnage) and carry an estimated 55% of the global transport work. The International Association of Dry Cargo Shipowners (INTERCARGO) unites and promotes quality dry bulk shipping, bringing together 250 forward thinking companies from 30 countries. INTERCARGO convened for the first time in 1980 in London and has been participating with consultative status at the International Maritime Organization (IMO) since 1993. INTERCARGO provides the forum where dry bulk shipowners, managers and operators are informed about, discuss, and share concerns on key topics and regulatory challenges, especially in relation to safety, the environment, and operational excellence. The Association takes forward its members’ positions to IMO, as well as to other shipping and international industry fora, having free and fair competition as a principle.

Self-discharging cement carriers system comparison
DCi 14
Self-discharging cement carriers are essential vessels for transporting bulk cement and other powdered materials across the seas. These specialized ships come equipped with various systems designed to enable independent operation, because they need no shore-based shipunloading equipment, writes Cor de Kwant, Executive Owner, Lion Bulk Handling. The installed material handling system ensures weather-independent, flexible, efficient and clean loading, transport, and discharging of cement, fly-ash or ground blast furnace slag. The world fleet comprises around 300 vessels from 2,000dwt up to 30,000dwt for seaborne cement transportation and domestic cement supply, with the majority being in the 5,000–10,000dwt and 10,000–20,000dwt range. Over the years, the fleet has aged considerably; now, about
30% of the fleet is older than 30 years. The average age of these vessels is 26 years; the average deadweight is 8,200dwt. As a rule, these vessels have a fluidized system in the cargo holds but differ in loading/unloading technologies. In this article, we will explore the different types of designs available in the market for selfdischarging cement carriers, highlighting their advantages and limitations.
FLUIDIZED FLOOR SYSTEM The first system is the fluidized floor system; Helmut Willem Carlsen was the first to use fluidization fabric on board ships for fluidizing the dry bulk material. This H.W. Carlsen systems solution is used in most dry bulk handling systems on board self-discharging cement carriers worldwide. The purpose of this solution is to fluidize the dry bulk materials so that
this cargo can be unloaded from the cement carrier’s cargo hold to the storage facility. This fluidization process is created by an integrated fluidized bed or fluidization floor system. It uses air to create a fluidized state within the cargo, allowing it to flow freely to the discharge point. As the fluidization process is crucial onboard self-discharging cement carriers for unloading the dry bulk materials to shore, different types of systems are available in the market.
SYSTEM COMPARISON In principle, there are two main categories (mechanical and pneumatic conveying). Each category can be divided into multiple different types of self-unloading systems. Follows a description of the two most common systems of both categories:
SHIPPING & TRANSPORT
MECHANICAL SYSTEM v Screw Conveyor System (including pressure tank system); v Screw Pump System. PNEUMATIC SYSTEMS v Pneumatic Pressure Tank System or E3-Cargo System; v Vacuum/Pressure System or Double Re-Loader System.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PNEUMATIC AND MECHANICAL CONVEYING SYSTEMS?
The most apparent difference between pneumatic conveying and mechanical conveying is how they are designed. While pneumatic systems either use a gas stream or a vacuum, mechanical systems transfer products using machinery, like screw conveyors or belts.
MECHANICAL CONVEYING SYSTEMS Mechanical conveying is usually transporting heavy bulk materials using traditional machinery. Hundreds of moving parts are used in mechanical conveying systems. Some of the most important ones are belts, buckets, chains, screw conveyors and screw pumps. The motor supplies energy to the conveyor, allowing the materials to be conveyed quickly.

content can be moved without clogging. v Entire mechanical systems require less horsepower, making them more energy-efficient and are a cheaper design than fully pneumatic conveying systems. DISADVANTAGES: v It is less safe because of the amount of exposed moving components. v Mechanical parts wear faster, requiring constant maintenance and repairs. v This results in more periods of downtime and increased running costs. v Requires a lot of floor space when being installed. v They are not able to accommodate tight bends or angles. v Conveying over long distances can be inefficient and costly. v Full mechanical conveying requires less horsepower and is cheaper for
installation, but it always needs pneumatic conveying for discharging from the vessel to the receiving storage facility. There are many different types of mechanical conveying systems, but the most common use systems onboard selfdischarging cement carriers are:
SCREW CONVEYOR SYSTEM Screw conveyor systems are a popular choice for self-discharging cement carriers. They consist of a helical screw inside a tube that moves cement from the cargo hold to the discharge point. This mechanical system offers reliability and simplicity. This system combines a screw conveyor and pressure tanks. This mechanical system carries up the material by vertical screw conveyors from the fluidized floor to the deck level, where air slide conveyors or horizontal screw conveyors pick it up. The material is then carried on shore

mechanically or by the pressure tanks, which use pressure to convey the dry bulk materials to the receiving storage facility. KEY BENEFITS: v Low energy consumption: screw conveyor systems are energy-efficient, making them cost-effective over the long term. v Ideal for various materials: screw conveyors can handle many types of bulk materials.
LIMITATIONS: v Slower discharge rate: screw conveyor systems may have a slower discharge rate than pneumatic systems. v Regular maintenance: they are prone to breakdowns and require regular maintenance. v Dust pollution: increased external dust pollution risk while transporting. v Limited reach: the length of the conveyor may restrict its application in larger vessels.

Dian Prosperity — 2016 — 9,000dwt — 450tph.
DCi 18
SCREW PUMP SYSTEM The screw pump is another commonly used pneumatic conveying system. In selfdischarging ships, a screw pump is installed in a tunnel underneath each fluidized hold. The material is then conveyed to the hopper of the screw pump. The high-speed screw conveyor compacts the material (effectively forming an airlock) and pushes it through a non-return valve into the mixing chamber. The material is mixed with compressed air in the mixing chamber, which is conveyed through a pipeline to its final destination. KEY BENEFITS: v High discharge efficiency: screw pump systems offer an efficient and controlled discharge process. v Versatility: they can handle various materials and transport them over longer distances. v Reduced spillage: these systems are known for their precision and minimal spillage. LIMITATIONS: v Initial cost: the installation and maintenance of screw pump systems can be more expensive than other alternatives. v Maintenance: regular maintenance ensures the pumps and screws operate smoothly. v Discharge: multiple discharge lines

are needed as the pumps are discharging continuously; this can interfere with the discharge rate when the shore facility only fosters one or two conveying pipelines.
PNEUMATIC CONVEYING SYSTEMS Pneumatic conveying systems are among the most common choices for selfdischarging cement carriers, especially for conveying dry bulk materials over long distances. This is why all mechanical bulk handling systems use pneumatic pressure to discharge their cargo to shore. It is not surprising many ship owners are choosing an entire pneumatic system. These pneumatic conveying systems rely on air pressure to transport cement from storage tanks to a receiving point, such as a terminal or silo. Compressed air moves the material through pipelines, allowing for efficient unloading. ADVANTAGES: v Material routing is simplified and much more flexible than in mechanical systems. v The enclosed line minimizes material loss and potential spillages. v Conveying lines are easily adapted to a facility’s dimensions, taking up less room. v Less maintenance is required because there are fewer moving parts. This means the system can operate at higher productivity and efficiency levels. v Pneumatic conveyors are safer because components are sealed in enclosed lines. v Dust pollution: due to the closed conveyor line, dust pollution risk is reduced to a minimum. v Water-sensitive products, like cement, are protected, facilitating wet materials drying while conveying them. v Abrasion can be easily minimized with wear-resistant components. DISADVANTAGES: v Expensive to convey over short distances. v Lines can only be horizontal or vertical. v Can’t convey wet products that tend to cake. v Requires more power and energy to operate.
E3-CARGO SYSTEM / PNEUMATIC PRESSURE TANK SYSTEM
The E3-Cargo system uses minimum components to transport cement to and
from the cement holds. No vacuum system is needed to unload the vessel due to the specially designed E3-Tanks. The E3-Tanks are located below the fluidization fabric and loaded by gravity. Once the Tanks are full, the tanks will discharge towards the receiving facility in a continuous material flow. This makes the system energy-saving, efficient and economical. The installation of an out loading boom also makes mechanical unloading possible. KEY BENEFITS: v Low energy consumption: as only a pressure system is needed, discharging can be done directly to the storage facility. This makes the E3-Cargo System one of the most energyefficient systems, making them costeffective over the long term. v Only one transfer point: as the pressure tanks are below the fluidized floor, this system only has one transfer point, which reduces failure risk. v Maintenance: almost no maintenance is required with the E3-Cargo system, as there are almost no moving parts (except for the air ends and valves). v Dust pollution: due to the closed conveyor line, dust pollution risk is reduced to a minimum. LIMITATIONS: v Limited vessel size: this system is most suitable for vessels up to 10,000dwt due to the cargo hold design. v Conversions: this is not advisable for conversion projects as there is limited space in the cargo hold for the pressure vessels. v More extensive dust collection system is required: pneumatic conveying systems require larger dust collection systems because the product needs to be separated from the conveying system’s air stream at the destination point(s).
DOUBLE RE-LOADER SYSTEM/ VACUUM/PRESSURE SYSTEM The double re-loader system uses a set of vacuum pressure tanks to discharge the ship pneumatically. Each hold of the vessel is fitted with a sloped aeration bottom to collect cement in the centre of the hold. A suction pipe is placed above the lowest point. The material is conveyed to one of two re-loader tanks using vacuum flow created by vacuum pumps. The selfcleaning filters in the tank separate the air and dry bulk material. Once complete, the tank is pressurized to pneumatically convey
the cement to shore. Using two tanks in tandem allows for a nearly continuous flow. KEY BENEFITS: v High flexible system: can be integrated into almost all types of cement carriers (newbuild projects and conversions). v High discharge rates are possible: the system can operate at higher productivity and efficiency levels. v Safe system: the Double Re-Loader system is very safe for crew members and the surroundings due to its fully enclosed design. v Downtime: there is a low chance of downtime due to the redundancy of vacuum and pressure equipment onboard. v Maintenance: almost no maintenance is required with the Double Re-Loader System, as there are almost no moving parts (except for the vacuum and pressure air ends and valves). v Installation: this can easily be installed in new build or conversion projects. LIMITATIONS: v Energy cost: this system is more expensive to convey over short distances due to the vacuum/pressure combination. v More extensive dust collection system is required: pneumatic conveying systems require larger dust collection systems because the product needs to be separated from the conveying system’s air stream at the destination point(s).
CONCLUSION Self-discharging cement carriers are essential for efficiently transporting bulk cement and powdered materials. The system choice depends on factors like cargo type, vessel size, and operational requirements. Pneumatic conveying systems offer reliable and low maintenance discharge rates but can be energy intensive. Next, pneumatic conveying is essential for long-distance conveying. Mechanical systems are cost-effective over short distances and energy efficient. All bulk handling systems need a fluidized bed or floor for unloading from the ship’s hold. Ultimately, selecting the right system for a self-discharging cement carrier is a critical decision that affects operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Vessel owners and operators should carefully evaluate their specific needs and cargo requirements when choosing the most suitable system for their operations.

Fitness initiative instead of retirement: the two large floating cranes HHLA III and HHLA IV have racked up nearly 150 years of service between them — and they are still being used almost every day. The right maintenance regime means that the hoisting equipment will stay operational over the long term.
Sixty-six faithful years of service: time for the HHLA IV to go into its wellearned retirement? No, the floating crane built in 1956 by Demag and put into operation in 1957 is far from hoisting its last load. Its services are in high demand in the Port of Hamburg — as are those of its sister crane, the HHLA III, which is 16 years its senior. That’s why the grey giant with its 55m jib, which is able to lift over 200 tonnes nearly 32 metres into the air, is now being retrofitted for the future. For a sustainable future, that is. Retrofitting does not require the construction of a new crane, which would result in very high requirements in terms of energy and materials for such a large piece of equipment.

“This is the first major retrofit of the HHLA IV in seven decades of service,” says Stephan Fröhlich, Head of Floating Cranes at Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG. The project is based on the original construction and schematics from the 1950s. The retrofit should ensure the machine can continue to function for at least a further 15 years. By then, the crane will be celebrating its 80th birthday. This is the face of sustainability at HHLA. So, what form does this kind of major retrofit take? September 2023, the sun is shining over the Port of Hamburg. Even from a distance, it is possible to make out that extensive work is being undertaken on this specialist crane: the superstructure is surrounded by scaffolding and wrapped in construction sheeting. The jib was removed in summer 2023 by HHLA III, working alongside mobile cranes. The mobile structure has now been deposited on the quayside in five segments. The lifting link is currently covered with a corrugated roof, while the historic steel structure is undergoing thorough renovation in the mobile hall: it’s time to remove the signs of wear and the old paint,

Entering the tent, the jib appears even more gargantuan in the fading light than it does up on the superstructure. Head of Floating Cranes, Mr Fröhlich, is delighted that the number of damaged connectors and sheets is so small — it shows that the good maintenance of the floating cranes provided by the HHLA team pays off. The historic rivets from the 1950s are not replaced with new rivets if they are damaged but with screws. These screws are as thick as a finger and can bear weights of many tonnes thanks to their safety and efficiency. Machinist Heinrich Proes is currently up to his elbows in a piece of mechanical engineering history. The inland shipping specialist has been part of the Floating Cranes team for 19 years. Currently, he is removing the nearly 70-year-old roller bearings, which enable the gigantic jib to move on the crane superstructure. Of course, the ravages of time are clear to see. But Proes is happy with how well the historic equipment has held up despite their regular use over such a long period of time. After all, one of the two cranes is in use at least once a day. Replacing the bearings
But why is HHLA going to the trouble of retrofitting the cranes? This is primarily because the mid-20th century construction continues to be perfectly suited to specific tasks in the port. Since the 1960s, most goods have of course been handled by the container gantry cranes. But there are still occasionally heavy loads and oversize dimensions that need handling. These include things like ship propellers and components for offshore wind farms. This is where HHLA’s two floating cranes come in. They can lift very heavy loads very flexibly, transport them autonomously and load them onto enormous ships. For the heaviest loads, the cranes can even work in tandem. “The fact that our cranes can turn 360 degrees is almost unique in heavy goods handling in ports today,” Proes says of the cranes’ special abilities. This is made possible by their traditional construction: a cone-shaped steel-frame tower is securely attached to the pontoon. The continuously rotating superstructure is slid over this like a hood. Towards the top of it are the bearings of the jib construction with the lower arms (hitch lifting arms) and upper
arms (upper links). The tip of the jib completes the geometry at the front, with the counterbalance at the back. Together, the lower rotating assembly and tip of the load-bearing construction bear the vertical and horizontal forces. A whole battery of slip rings at the heart of the superstructure transfer the electrical energy and control signals between the superstructure and the vessel.
REGULAR TRIPS TO THE DRY DOCK AND RECLASSIFICATIONS
It was hardly surprising to the team of nine under Stephan Fröhlich that the HHLA IV is in such good condition. This is because the men take great care to ensure their equipment is properly maintained and that all deadlines are observed: new steel cables are installed every ten years. The crane goes into the dry dock every five years to clean the hull of the pontoon and repaint it. The crane components are lubricated every six months. Machinist Proes climbs up to the very top with the lubrication gun. And this point is even higher on the HHLA III than it is on the floating crane that has just been retrofitted. The specialist vessel built in 1941 can lift loads of a maximum of 100 tonnes up to 48 metres high with its 76-metre-high jib. In addition to the maintenance schedule, the equipment is also reclassified regularly. HHLA IV received its reclassification in December 2022. The crew sees that as a good omen for the successful completion of the work currently under way.

Coal transshipment in the Middle East.
DCi 28
Louis Dreyfus Ports and Logistics (LDPL), subsidiary of Louis Dreyfus Armateurs, has always been at the forefront of pioneering and innovative developments across various regions, including Latin America. LDPL’s story in South America began in the early 1990s when Colombia was looking for a solution to increase the coal exports from Cerrejon, a large open-pit coal mine in the northern part of the country, next to the coast. LDPL at that time found a way to load Capesize vessels around Santa Marta Bay, where there was no existing infrastructure to handle such large vessels, carrying cargo coming from mines located in the middle of the country. The success story of a big revenue for the country started with two floating cranes, a fleet of barges-tugs convoys and lots of lorries bringing coal from mines 300km away. During more than 15 years of
operation, LDPL’s operations in Colombia reached an annual throughput of 20 million tonnes, with most of this involving loading into Capesize vessels for different clients like Glencore and Vale among others, with a total fleet of eight floating cranes, 24/7 hours operation and 140 permanent employees. A trainee programme was developed by LDPL to train local operators and technicians to achieve the required level of skills to perform each vessel loading at the highest level of safety and with peaks of more than 50,000 net tonnes per day. Those programmes were successfully discussed and developed jointly with local unions and government entities with the support from them and all concerned stakeholders. The model was later reproduced in the Dominican Republic as well in other
countries all over the world like, more recently, Indonesia, Sierra Leone, India, Guinea and UAE among others. LDPL’s operating into a country involves more than just bringing technology and operational expertise. It also looks at how to improve the quality of life in the area of operations. In Colombia, where the region was particularly touched by poverty and malnutrition, LDPL participated in a project led by a local foundation and the humanitarian organization Children International to build a community centre that provided education, health and social care to thousands of children aged 3–18 years. Today, LDPL is fully committed to contributing to the global net zero targets worldwide and is leveraging its extensive experience in developing offshore logistics solutions to help various countries in the

Martin Associates identified 49,040 jobs supported by port activities, including direct, indirect, induced, and related jobs. Employment supported by Ports of Indiana’s activities generates annual wages totalling $3.5 billion, and state and local governments collect $526 million in taxes per year from port operations, of which $213 million goes to local governments. “Ports of Indiana is a truly unique port system that generates significant economic impacts throughout the region and beyond,” said Dr. John Martin, founder of Martin Associates. “Indiana leverages its connections to the nation’s two busiest waterways — the Great Lakes and our river system — with a statewide port authority that has tremendous economic development capabilities.” On Lake Michigan, Burns Harbor, located in the heart of the nation’s largest steel manufacturing region, generates $4.6 billion in annual economic impacts. On the Ohio River, annual operations at Jeffersonville generate $2.48 billion in economic activity while Mount Vernon produces $1.6 billion. “It’s gratifying to see the incredible economic return Ports of Indiana provides to the state, but our focus is always on building for the future,” said Ports of Indiana CEO Jody Peacock. “Our ports have hundreds of acres of available industrial sites with direct access to domestic and international markets via river barges, lakers, ocean vessels, and all major Class I rail carriers. These logistics resources provide critical strategic advantages for Indiana’s agriculture, manufacturing, and industrial sectors.”

ABOUT PORT CORPUS CHRISTI As a leader in US energy export ports and a major economic engine of Texas and the nation, the Port of Corpus Christi is the largest port in the United States in total revenue tonnage. Strategically located on the western Gulf of Mexico with a 36-mile, soon to be 54-foot (MLLW) deep channel, the Port of Corpus Christi is a major gateway to international and domestic maritime commerce. The Port of Corpus Christi has excellent railroad and highway network connectivity via three North American Class-1 railroads and two major interstate highways. With an outstanding staff overseen by its seven-member commission, the Port of Corpus Christi is ‘Moving America’s Energy’.
PORTS & TERMINALS
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has awarded the fourth and final contract of the Port of Corpus Christi Ship Channel Improvement Project (CIP) to Callan Marine, Ltd., signalling the conclusion of a national infrastructure initiative that will render the ship channel the most improved waterway along the US Gulf Coast from Texas to Florida. “The completion of this history-making project largely is due to the confluence of several key factors, including: the diligence of our friends at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; the commitment to prioritizing this critical infrastructure by our federal delegation and the Administration; and the growing demand for infrastructure generated by our Port of Corpus Christi customers,” said Kent Britton, Chief Executive Officer for the Port of Corpus Christi. The nearly $681.6 million project is jointly funded by the federal government and Port of Corpus Christi, with the final tranche of project funding allocated by Congress in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023. That $157.3 million allocation will be used for final project close-out of the CIP. A massive undertaking between the USACE, Port of Corpus Christi and private marine companies, the CIP yielded more than 40 million cubic yards of dredge material that will be used in the construction of beneficial use sites for wildlife and erosion control. “Our work and partnership with the Port of Corpus Christi – one of the largest ports in the US — is vital to maintaining the economic engine of Texas and the nation,” said Col. Rhett Blackmon, USACE Galveston District Commander. “I’m especially proud that more than 90% of the new work dredged material in this contract is staying within the system, through our beneficial use programme.” When the Port of Corpus Christi opened in 1926, four years after it was created by voters as Nueces County Navigation District No. 1, the Corpus Christi Ship Channel had been dredged to a depth of 25 feet and a width of 200 feet. The channel has since been expanded several times, with the CIP increasing that depth to 54 feet Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) and a new width of 530 feet, with additional barge shelves also being constructed. In 1990, Congress authorized a study to determine the feasibility of expanding the Corpus Christi Ship Channel through widening and deepening the waterway. In 2017, the project advanced to construction. The first phase was completed in February 2020, while Phase 2 wrapped up in July of this year. The third phase is expected to be completed in 2023, with completion of the final phase estimated for early 2025. “My fellow Port of Corpus Christi Commissioners and I are grateful to everyone who has advocated for this critical project over the past 30 years,” said Charles W. Zahn, Jr., Port of Corpus Christi Commission Chairman. “This truly is great progress, not only for the Port of Corpus Christi, but for the entire Coastal Bend region, because of the opportunities it will bring for future economic prosperity and growth.”

Terminales Marítimos de Galicia opens new automated unloading system at La Coruña In late September, a new, automatic unloading system for dry bulk was reported fully operational in the outer harbour of the Spanish north-western Port of La Coruña. It has cost in the region of €8 million. The system is comprised of a network of conveyor belts and transfer towers. This allows commodities to be transported directly from docked vessel to nearby storage warehouses, on what will be a completely enclosed circuit. Operator Terminales Marítimos de
Galicia (TMGA) says that this will result in a much improved working environment on the quay and in the warehousing area, while at the same time boosting unloading rates and increasing the efficiency and competitiveness of the entire handling process. The technology behind the conveyor belts means that they can handle all types of dry bulk cargo, although is aimed mostly at the transport of cereals. It will handle vessels at Calvo Sotelo quay, whose warehouses previously specialized in wood
and glass; these have subsequently been shifted to Centenario Quay, which will henceforth specialize in general cargo. TMGA has been undertaking terminal operations in the autonomous province of Galicia since 1995, with general cargo, dry bulk and project cargo facilities. It became the very first terminal operator to set up business in La Coruña’s outer harbour development, where to date it has invested €25 million. Today, it is to be found in the ports of La Coruña, Punta Langosteira and El Ferrol, among others. Barry Cross

Barranquilla now operating with stable ten-metre draught
DCi 32
The Port of Barranquilla, in Colombia, reports six months of successful operation with a draught of ten metres. There has been a significant increase in the number of vessels now able to enter the port, in larger consignments and better turnaround times, all of which has reduced the cost of doing business there. In 2023, the number of 190-metre vessels has increased by 37%, rising from 54 in the first seven months of 2022 to 74 this year. The increase in cargo moved by this type of vessel has also grown, from 753,188 tonnes in 2021 to 750,995 tonnes in 2022, then leaping to 1.129 million tonnes between January and July this year, which is an increase of 50.4% on the year. Álvaro Redondo, Executive Director of port operator Cormagdalena, noted that the ten-metre draught is the result of “continuous” and “structured work”. The availability of deeper water has also made the river increasingly competitive, he added. Measurements and forecasts made on the impact that inter-annual phenomena (El Niño and La Niña) can have on the behaviour of the river have allowed the authorities to dredge parts of the river where work has never been carried out before. In particular, the turning areas for vessels have been improved and there have been no negative incidents of any kind reported in the past 12 months, the latter the result of a better understanding of the river and how it works. Under consideration is a redesign of the navigable channel, with modelling exercises already conducted with pilots in Denmark with this in mind. The channel needs to have its 30° curves reduced to ones of just 12°. There are also aspirations to eventually deepen the draught from ten metre to 12 metres, although even larger dry bulk carriers could operate in shallower waters if the radial curves were improved.

Mundra Port celebrates 25 years of stellar operations

Mundra Port is celebrating 25 years of ground-breaking operations.
DCi 34
Commemorating a landmark journey, Mundra Port in Gujarat, India, is celebrating 25 years of ground-breaking operations, highlighting its expansion and evolution as one of the largest ports globally. Since berthing its first ship, Alpha on 7 October, 1998, the port has consistently demonstrated a visionary approach, unwavering ambition and impeccable execution, positioning itself as one of the premier and technologically advanced ports on the global map. Emerging as a crucial trade gateway, Mundra Port has grown into a multimodal hub that drives trade and fortifies economic progression. From its modest inception, it has ascended to prominence and has contributed over Rs.2.25 lakh crore to the state and national exchequer in the past 25 years, emphasizing its central role in India’s economic framework. Also, it has generated employment exceeding 7.5 crore man-days since inception. From a handful of tonnes in 1998, Mundra went on to handle 100mt (million metric tonnes) in 2014, the first in India to do so. Today, the port handles over 155mt (again the first in India), which constitutes nearly 11% of India’s maritime cargo. Mundra is also the EXIM (export & import) gateway for container traffic. In fact, 33% of India’s container traffic flows through the port across a dedicated freight corridor that offers the unique facility of double-stack containers from the northern hinterland to Mundra. Commenting on the occasion, Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani said, “Mundra, for me, is much more than just a port. It is the beachhead of a horizon of possibilities for the entire Adani Group. 25 years ago, when we started the journey, we dreamt of a beacon that would represent India’s march forward. The heartbeat of this commitment resonates not just in
Mundra but throughout the nation and echoes in the confidence of every stakeholder who had the faith to sail on this journey with us. As we mark our silver jubilee, Mundra stands as a testament to the wonders that can unfurl when foresight, tenacity and a united community converge. Along with our employees and partners, we did not merely construct a port; we sculpted an emblem of global excellence, transforming an entire region and crafting new blueprints. Our confidence has never been higher and Mundra will continue to trailblaze, setting benchmarks on the global canvas.” CEO and Whole Time Director, Karan Adani said, “Today, Mundra is a showcase of world-class infrastructure – and anyone who sees Mundra will agree that it is a very visible tribute to the vision and the determination of pioneering entrepreneurs like Gautam Adani, who refused to stop thinking big and thinking long-term. We see this multidimensional transformation of Mundra, in just 25 years, as the Adani Group’s humble contribution to nationbuilding. What was once barren is now India’s EXIM gateway and an extraordinary global hub for trade and commerce. I would say, very confidently, that we have succeeded in creating a powerful catalyst for India’s growth — and I also believe that our journey has just begun.” Mundra Port serves the vast northern hinterland with seamless multimodal connectivity. As the nation’s largest commercial port, spread over 35,000 acres, Mundra boasts of state-of-the-art facilities including the largest coal, natural gas, and auto terminals. Its deep draught and all-weather capabilities ensure efficient cargo evacuation and minimal turnaround time. Its strategic advantages and superior facilities have made it the preferred choice for major global shipping lines.
Mundra Port has been at the forefront of eco-conscious activities, from green initiatives to sustainable operational methods. It has undertaken mangrove afforestation and conservation that encompasses terrestrial afforestation across approximately 6,000 hectares, planting 17.5 million plants. There are plans to plant an additional four million trees by 2030, in line with the Chairman’s vision of 100 million trees. With its deep-rooted commitment to the community, the Adani Foundation today resonates with the lives of residents across 61 villages in Mundra and 113 villages in various parts of Kutch, touching 3.53 lakh persons. The Adani Group’s arrival brought about profound changes to the region, with the Adani Foundation playing a key role in uplifting towns and villages through education, healthcare and infrastructure. This reflects the Group’s ethos — business growth with social responsibility. Kutch was earlier reliant on agriculture, animal husbandry and labour, with many seeking opportunities elsewhere due to a dearth of quality education, healthcare and infrastructure. Thanks to skill-development programmes, the youth have now embraced a range of professions. The educational landscape has flourished, even as Adani Vidya Mandir provides quality education to under-privileged children. Healthcare, which was once rudimentary, is now served by sophisticated hospitals, capable of advanced procedures. The standard of living has improved, marked by enhanced road connectivity, a booming real estate sector, and increased purchasing power. The emphasis on corporate social responsibility has sown the seeds of holistic development, the empowerment of women and infrastructure enhancement, reshaping the region’s socio-cultural fabric.

Dry bulk products handled at Port Atlantique La Rochelle are linked to its hinterland, which is heavily agricultural but with some significant requirement for building materials too.

The largest ports along the Hamburg– Le Havre range are undergoing a downturn not only in dry bulk traffic, but across the board as the downturn in the European economies begins to bite. Ports remain hopeful of something of a boost in the final quarter,. Look no further than the French Atlantic Port of La Rochelle, where the first half of 2023 has proved something of a struggle in terms of dry bulk traffic. Its 2.189mt (million tonnes) handled represented a decrease of 27% on the more than 3mt reported for the corresponding period in 2022.

better appreciated in the image (right), where it is highlighted in both yellow and orange. In respect of vessel sizes, these vary considerably between commodities. For grain and oilseed, the average size in the past five years has been in the region of 55,000dwt, which represents a slight increase. Fertilizer vessels are larger and getting even larger thanks to new bagging equipment introduced by operators (see below). Nowadays, they fall within the 50,000–85,000dwt range. In direct contrast, ships transporting animal feed tend to be significantly smaller, between 15,000dwt and 20,000dwt, the overall size being dictated by the final processing of goods at the soya shed. Finally, those hauling recycled glass remain in the region of 5,000dwt and those moving clinker and slag are between 15,000dwt and 25,000dwt. Draught, as always, can be a limiting factor for vessel deployment, although Port Atlantique La Rochelle offers a maximum of 14.5 metres at the Anse Saint-Marc quays, so is able to accommodate all types of dry bulk carrier. Yet the port authority is far from being complacent about future development. “Our ‘Port Horizon 2025’ development project, which is currently being rolled out, involves deepening both the port’s existing access channel as well as the maritime access to our Chef de Baie terminal, which

Finally, we are introducing new quays at Anse Saint-Marc 3 and Chef de Baie 4 while at the same time improving maritime access to them.” In terms of new equipment, AMLP, of

In 2017, Port of Amsterdam declared that it would be a coal-free port in 2030. Despite the growth in the quantity of coals over the past two years due to geopolitical developments, the port still has this ambition. The sale of Rietlanden and the new owner’s ambition to transform into a non-fossil terminal fit into Port of Amsterdam’s strategy. Rietlanden’s transfer to German company Rhenus will take place in two phases; this first will start this year, with a second phase in 2027.
DEPARTURE FOR CARGO, NOT CLIENTS Koen Overtoom, CEO Port of Amsterdam, says: “Since we announced our goal to be a coal-free port in 2030, great strides have been taken to transform the coal terminals in our port.

nevertheless amounted to 18.4mt. Much of this loss can be attributed to a reduction in coal traffic, itself the result of “extra stockpiling” reported in the autumn of last year. Transshipment of cement clinker also declined, in line with the declining trend in building materials. Other areas performed a little better. Containers decreased by 7% and ro-ro by
4%; although breakbulk decline was in double figures too, dropping by 11%. Of note is the loss of trade with Russian. In the first half of 2022, Russia was North Sea Port’s main trading partner. By the second half, however, EU sanctions meant that traffic had fallen by 56%, resulting in Russia becoming only the seventh most important client. Given the
continuing difficulties trade with Russia implies, it remains unlikely that there will be any improvement in this area any time soon. Perhaps understandably, trade with Ukraine has fallen by a further 10% this year. However, some of this has been replaced by improvements with other countries. Trade with Poland is up by

The slow down in the European economy has generated a concomitant decline in demand for steel — the most important cargo group within this segment handled by Antwerp. Both import steel and export steel decreased by a combined 18%. As for dry bulk, combined tonnage was down by 12.9% and this was despite a sharp decline in both fertilizer and energy prices compared to peak prices being charged following the start of the war in Ukraine. Fertilizer tonnage, which is the port’s main dry bulk commodity, has decreased by 19% and the port reports little rotation of stocks. Coal throughput, which also peaked in 2022 due to the energy crisis (and rose again in the first quarter of 2023), is reportedly falling sharply after a mild winter and coal surpluses in Europe. In the first six months, tonnage dropped by 32.4%. Sand and gravel, in contrast, grew by 16%. Commenting on the first half performance as a whole, Jacques Vandermeiren, CEO of Port of AntwerpBruges noted, “As with other world ports, the economic situation is still posing major challenges, and this is reflected in the figures. But in these volatile conditions, the port is holding up relatively well. The fact that, in addition, our [overall] market share is increasing is a confirmation of our resilience and strength as a merged port. What the second half of the year will bring, depends on many uncertain factors, including energy prices.”
OCTOBER 2023
While containers may have struggled, virtually all sectors of the bulk market have bucked the trend. Agribulk, for example, posted a first half increase of 18.6% to 3.5mt. Grab cargoes, which amounted to 10.2mt, were broadly similar. As for how traffic will ultimately develop in 2023, Mattern said, “Persistent challenging economic and geo-political circumstances do not allow firm predictions to be made on the development of throughput in the Port of Hamburg. How the year will develop further depends directly on the economic mood in Germany and geopolitical developments.” Others within the port note that the ongoing war in Ukraine, geopolitical tensions, inflation and rising interest rates are weighing on consumer and industrial demand and continuing to slow down the global economic recovery after the pandemic. Furthermore, several economic research institutes have revised their forecasts for the German economy downwards, including the most recent by the International Monetary Fund. So, it therefore remains questionable whether even the strong performance by dry bulk traffic so far this year can continue going forward. Belgium’s largest Port of AntwerpBruges handled total traffic of 139mt in the first two quarters of 2023, down 5.5% compared to the same period last year. In the face of unstable economic conditions, the port claims it is holding up well. Conventional breakbulk traffic, for example, is in line with the pre-Covid-19 period, albeit down 17.2% compared to the
www.drycargomag.com
138%, much of this in cereals. Australia (+28%), Belgium (+20%) and Canada (+6%) have all posted increases, while the United States is currently the port’s most important trading partner. While the above covers sea freight, inland traffic also fell, albeit to a lesser extent. Inland waterways, road and rail carried 31.3mt between January and the end of June, down 6%. In its assessment of future prospects, North Sea Port observes that the European recession that began at the end of last year is being keenly felt, despite the fact that neither the Netherlands nor Belgium were officially in recession during this period. Worryingly, the 11% drop in sea freight means that North Sea Port is now handling similar traffic levels that it saw in 2017 levels. Stockpiles within the port are at a high level, but are turning over less because of lower demand. Making the situation even worse is that maintenance periods at some major companies are expected to negatively impact on port traffic too. However, there is some light at the end of the tunnel, with expectations that the economy in Europe will rebound, which could produce a stronger fourth quarter by the year end. Characterizing the current economic situation in Europe, especially in Germany, as “tense”, the Port of Hamburg also notes that “geopolitical factors continue to have repercussions” on trade. Despite this, bulk cargo traffic at Germany’s most important port rose 7.7% to 19mt in the first two quarters of this year. To put this in context, general cargo throughput (which includes containers) declined by 11.% to 39.2mt. Overall traffic at the port amounted to 58.2mt, which was a drop of 5.8% compared to the corresponding first half results in 2022. Significantly, the Port of Hamburg still shifted 23.1mt by rail, albeit down 2.15 on the year. Summing up the state of existing traffic, Axel Mattern, CEO of HHM – Port of Hamburg Marketing, said, “On a comparison with other North Sea ports in the North Range, it is absolutely clear that all players in this market are subject to the same tough prevailing circumstances.”

With the investment of a mid-double-digit million euro sum, an old ship-unloader will be replaced by a state-of-the-art one, strengthening the future of EECV and thyssenkrupp Veerhaven. The new unloader will significantly improve efficiency, environmental friendliness and safety, and is expected to be operational by the end of 2025.

INVESTMENT IN NEW SHIP-UNLOADER FOR THE PORT OF ROTTERDAM
DCi 40
Day in, day out, four powerful grab cranes at EECV's terminal in the Port of Rotterdam will lift iron ore and coal out of the bellies of the large bulk freighters for steel production in the Ruhr region. One of them is rather old, and will now be replaced by a modern, highly efficient shipunloader. The amount of the investment decided by the shareholders is in the middouble-digit million range. The project sends a strong signal for the future of EECV and thyssenkrupp Veerhaven, the two Dutch logistics subsidiaries of thyssenkrupp Steel. In the case of the bulk handling facilities of EECV, HKM is also a shareholder. Together, the two companies will ensure the unloading of seagoing vessels and the annual interim storage and transport of around 24 million metric tonnes of iron ore and coal for steelmaking in Duisburg, 365 days a year.
SECURING RAW MATERIAL SUPPLIES FOR THE FUTURE INSTALLATION FOR DIRECT REDUCTION OF IRON ORE BY MEANS OF HYDROGEN
The successful work of the two companies will continue into the future — also thanks to Brussels having approved funding of the ‘tkH2Steel’ decarbonization project by the German government and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. “The amounts of coal being transshipped will gradually decline from 2027 onward, but iron ore will still be needed for the production of climate-friendly steel. As a result, EECV and thyssenkrupp Veerhaven will transport the raw material for the new direct

With the new ship unloader and the proven push boat fleet, both companies will continue to ensure a reliable connection between the Port of Rotterdam and the green steelworks in Duisburg over the coming decades,” says Dr Heike Denecke-Arnold, Chief Operations Officer (COO) at thyssenkrupp Steel.
MODERN SHIP UNLOADER: EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY RAW MATERIAL SUPPLY
Like its predecessor, the new ship unloader weighs around 2,000 metric tonnes, stands a good 60 metres high, 30 metres wide and has a crane boom length of around 100 metres. With these crane dimensions, EECV will be able to unload the largest bulk freighters in the world at a highly productive rate of up to 2,600 metric tonnes of iron ore per hour. The crane will set new standards in environmental friendliness and energy efficiency. To effectively reduce possible dust emissions, the unloader will be equipped with a water spraying and misting system in the bunker area. Noise emissions will be kept below the officially approved limits. Occupational safety and comfort for employees will also be significantly improved. “With the new crane, we are investing in the future of EECV and the security of raw material supplies for thyssenkrupp Steel and HKM. It will give us the flexibility to further develop our business as we move forward with phasing out coal from 2027 onwards,” comments Frank Tazelaar, CEO of EECV and thyssenkrupp Veerhaven, summing up the situation. EECV will select the supplier of the new unloader in the coming months. The new unloader is expected to go into
operation at the end of 2025.
INVESTMENTS IN FLEXIBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY STRENGTHEN FORWARDLOOKING PORT INFRASTRUCTURE
Last year, thyssenkrupp Steel had already begun to explore developing hydrogen supply chains together with the Port of Rotterdam as part of its green transformation. Hydrogen is needed in large quantities for climate-friendly steel production, and could be transported via pipeline corridors from Rotterdam to Duisburg. With the new ship-unloader, thyssenkrupp Steel is now sending out a further signal about the modernization and continuity of its infrastructure at the Port of Rotterdam.
EECV AND THYSSENKRUPP VEERHAVEN WILL ENSURE UNINTERRUPTED RAW MATERIAL SUPPLIES
Since 1970, EECV has operated one of Europe's largest and most modern bulk handling facilities in the Europoort area of the Port of Rotterdam, as well as the second largest bulk terminal at the Port of Rotterdam, with around 300 employees. At the terminal facility covering an area of almost 100 hectares, the four shipunloaders at the 1.1km-long quay for seagoing vessels remove 30 to 40 metric tonnes of iron ore and coal from the ships with each lift. The raw materials are then transported to the storage areas via conveyor belts. The fleet of seven wholly owned vessels, operated by push boat shipping company thyssenkrupp Veerhaven (approx. 200 employees), bring the raw materials for steel production around the clock from Rotterdam up the Rhine to Duisburg.

The Strongest Link: how finger splicing turns the weakest link into the strongest link
CONVEYING ADVICE
Virtually without exception, the Table 1. weakest point of any conveyor belt is the splice joint. In fact, it is estimated that nearly 80% of all conveyor stoppages are caused by splice joint problems. Because of the potential loss of output, as well as the safety implications caused by splice joint failure, it is critically important to maximize the strength and long-term durability of the joint. The most common method of making a splice joint is the step splice, which requires the removal of one of the layers of fabric plies so that the two belt ends can be overlapped and then either cold glued or hot vulcanized together. This method is popular because it is seen to be generally easier and quicker to make a step splice. However, these ‘advantages’ come at the expense of the far superior strength and reliability achieved by using the finger splice jointing method. For those who may not be familiar with the term, finger splicing is where a zigzag pattern is cut into both sides of the belt ends, creating several interlocking ‘fingers’. These are then carefully aligned, interlocked together and finally bonded using a hot vulcanizing press to make a splice that is very strong and flat. Although it is not physically possible to join a belt without some loss of longitudinal tensile strength, regardless of the method used, the biggest disadvantage of a standard step splice is that it will always create a proportional loss of tensile strength equivalent to one ply. As can be seen in table 1 above, a 3-ply step joint can only achieve a maximum longitudinal tensile strength of 67%. This effectively means that in a typical multi-ply belt containing three plies or more, at least one ply exists purely to compensate for loss of the longitudinal strength incurred by making a step splice joint. In contrast, the big advantage of the finger splice method is that it retains up to 90% of the belt’s ‘static’ tensile strength. Apart from the greater strength, this opens up the possibility of installing a lower and therefore less expensive specification such as a 630/3-ply belt instead of a 630/4-ply. Another advantage is that, crucially, in dynamically stressed conditions when the belt is working under load, the finger splice is vastly superior to a stepped splice in terms of resistance to dynamic failure. The superior strength and durability of finger splices also reduces the need to frequently repair and re-splice. These are important considerations because they can significantly reduce both direct (actual repair) and indirect (lost output) costs. For example, one quarry in the UK had been replacing splices on its
NEWS ENGINEERING & EQUIPMENT
multi-ply belts every three months. They were naturally delighted to discover that 18 months after installing singleply belts using the finger splice method, they still had not repaired or replaced a single splice. Although much is sometimes made of the fact it can take longer to make a good quality finger splice, this is often more of a reflection on the skill of the person actually making the splice. Skill, experience and making the best use of available tools makes a big difference. For example, dedicated templates with the finger shape predefined and ready to trace onto the belt are available that help speed up the process and greatly improve accuracy. Ironically, templates are not available for stepped splices so the accuracy depends much more on the skill and attention of the splicer who is measuring and cutting. Finger splices are nothing new of course. Historically, finger splicing was the favoured technique and remains the standard practice for joining solid woven belts used underground and for most fabric single-ply and dual-ply rubber belting, such as Fenner Dunlop’s hugely popular Ultra X and UsFlex range. All the evidence points to the fact that it makes no sense to try and ‘save’ a few hundred euros by opting for the less durable step splice. The perceived ‘speed and ease’ cost advantages are a small fraction of the cost of a system shutdown to carry out joint repairs or replacements. Bob Nelson

OPERATIONAL COSTS
specialized equipment like loaders, unloaders, conveyors, etc. If there’s a miscalculation in inventory, these items of equipment might be kept running idly, waiting for cargo that isn’t there, or might be unexpectedly halted due to a shortage. Idle or halted equipment is not just an operational inefficiency but also a missed revenue opportunity, as the equipment could have been productively used elsewhere. And then don’t forget the financial strain of additional electricity and fuel consumption required by these operational setbacks. Incorrect planning based on faulty inventory figures may mean that machines are running longer than necessary or are started and stopped frequently. This leads to increased electricity consumption for electrically powered equipment and higher fuel costs for diesel-powered machinery.
OCTOBER 2023
Operational costs include all of the operational consequences caused by inaccurate or outright wrong inventory figures and the bad planning these errors produce. For instance, there are the inevitable rescheduling and subsequent administrative costs associated with poor workforce
planning. If inventory figures are wrong, schedules for loading and unloading, ship berthing, and other related operations need to be adjusted. This results in administrative costs as staff may need to work overtime or on short notice to rectify the situation, recalibrate plans, and communicate with stakeholders. With inaccurate inventory figures, manpower allocation becomes inefficient. For instance, you might have a situation where more staff are rostered for a day where less cargo is available for handling, and vice versa. This could lead to extra wages for idle workers or, alternatively, an insufficient workforce leading to additional delays. Firms might also find themselves experiencing equipment downtime — a scenario where operations are halted altogether. Bulk cargo handling requires

In an environment where contract obligations, dynamic pricing, and just-intime supply chain strategies are the norms, the ramifications of inaccurate inventory data are vast and often underestimated. Below is a summary of the indirect costs firms face when dealing with traditional inventory monitoring and its myriad challenges. After that, we explore an effective solution to mitigate these risks, safeguarding both your company’s financial health and esteemed reputation.

The hidden cost of traditional inventory monitoring

LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORT COSTS
DCi 52
Last-minute changes in logistics and transport needs are a main cause of additional costs firms incur when inventory-related setbacks happen, and can snowball unexpectedly. These costs could include double transport costs, emergency rush shipping fees, and demurrage costs. For example, say you arrange transport such as trucks, trains, or smaller feeder vessels to carry cargo based on what you believe is your actual inventory data. You find out the data is actually off by a lot due to a stocktaking error, and you need to either hold up the transport and incur demurrage fees until your supplies reach the levels you intended, or release the transport and book additional transport for the missing supplies once they’re accounted for, incurring double costs. Now there’s an urgency to get the missing goods to their destination, so you resort to expedited shipping methods, which are substantially more expensive. And detention charges levied for holding containers, trucks, or other equipment beyond their allotted time further compound the issue. Add all additional costs up and you’re spending significantly more than anticipated on logistics and transport.
CONTRACTUAL COSTS Then there’s the contracts with suppliers and customers, where there is little to no room for leniency. The direct financial penalties from contractual obligations that companies can incur due to inaccuracies in
inventory can be steep. Late delivery fees, for one, can be a major hit on a delivery’s profit margin. Many contracts have clauses specifying late delivery fees to compensate for the time lost and any potential disruption this causes for the recipient. For dry bulk cargo, these costs can be significant. For example, a delay in delivering grain could lead to a halt in a milling process or increased costs for the buyer to source from another supplier on short notice. Then there are additional penalties for not meeting volume commitments. This can mean refunding a part of the sales price or even additional financial penalties. And if the product that gets delivered has a lower quality than what was expected, the value of that product can be depreciated. For instance, if inventory data isn’t accurate, older stock might get mixed with newer stock. For some bulk goods, like agricultural products, the quality can degrade over time. So if the delivered product is of a lower quality than expected (due to age, contamination, or other factors), the buyer might demand discounts, returns, or replacements, which further increases operational costs.
SUSTAINABILITY COSTS Another often overlooked downside to inaccurate inventory is the environmental cost. As we established above, inaccurate inventory data might mean you need to make unexpected transport arrangements to fulfill a delivery. This could mean rerouting ships or trucks, sourcing from
farther locations, or using faster, and often less efficient means of transport. Each of these unplanned trips increases your company’s carbon footprint. Dry bulk carriers, especially ships, can consume vast amounts of fuel, so inefficient use because of inventory inaccuracies can result in substantial CO2 emissions.
MISAPPROPRIATION COSTS Misappropriation costs shine a light on the darker side of the business. The lack of clarity and control over inventory offers opportunities for fraudulent activities and theft. While some high-profile cases have made recent headlines about millions lost to sophisticated scams, countless smaller and recurrent deceptions go unnoticed when inventory data remains sketchy and manually calculated. A few tonnes of material that go missing regularly from shipments might not make headlines, but these losses can accumulate over time and be just as significant. And yet even when systems are managed to the best of traditional ability, bad actors can still find plenty of vulnerabilities to exploit. Without accurate, real-time, digitally recorded data, bad actors can manipulate paperwork, tamper with weight scales, or use insider knowledge to exploit weaknesses. This could also mean falsifying the quality of the cargo, like mixing high-grade ore with lower grades but recording and pricing it all as high grade. These instances not only reveal the
OTHER FINANCIAL COSTS Legal, compliance, and regulatory risks may generate unforeseen expenses, such as the cost of additional inspections, audits, or government fines. For example, if a certain quality of material is required to be free of contaminants but poor inventory practices lead to mixing, it can lead to recalls, legal action, and fines. The consequences of corrections in accounting can also result in indirect costs from financial misstatements. When these errors are identified, they might require restating financial statements, which can result in costs associated with auditing, and even potential lawsuits if shareholders are impacted.
NON-FINANCIAL COSTS Besides the direct financial consequences of imprecise inventory management, other more intangible damages may arise, such as a negative impact on market perception and reputation that strains relations with suppliers and clients or jeopardizes future business opportunities. Trust is paramount in the dry bulk cargo industry. If a company consistently delivers less than what is on the manifest due to inaccurate inventory, it can be seen as unreliable, affecting future contracts and pricing. And if you as a supplier truly believe you delivered a higher grade of coal
than what is recorded due to inventory errors, it can lead to unforced errors from disputes, contract terminations, or renegotiations that could have been avoided with more accurate data. And this problem is not just harmful to reputation and relationships. Poor inventory management can make insufficient security measures at cargo holds, ports, or storage facilities even more vulnerable. In the case of valuable dry bulk cargoes like in-demand minerals, this can lead to theft or pilferage that’s difficult to account for. So the question you’re probably asking yourself now is: what’s the solution?
TINAMU LABS: PIONEERING A CHANGE To navigate these challenges, you need an innovative inventory management platform like the one offered by Tinamu Labs. Originating as a spin-off from the renowned Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Tinamu has revolutionized age-old industry practices with its innovative automated drone solution for monitoring stockpile inventory. Unlike conventional static sensor networks that take months to deploy, Tinamu employs a singular, mobile sensor: the drone. Tinamu’s drones operate independently, automate inspections, minimize manual checks, and negate the need for a pilot on site, all with little to no infrastructure investment needed to deploy or remove. This is a paradigm shift in dry bulk
management, particularly crucial for fraud detection and swift, precise inventory oversight. As data flows in, it’s processed in the cloud and presented to users in the form of comprehensive dashboards detailing each surveyed stockpile. Traditional ‘piloted’ drones can take days to collect, process, and analyse data. In stark contrast, Tinamu’s autonomous drones capture sharp images, process volumetric data quickly, and deliver accurate measurements within hours over the cloud, boasting a staggering 50x faster turnaround times for stock inspection reports with 99% data accuracy. Tinamu’s impressive footprint spans multiple European nations including Switzerland, Belgium, and France, and it is rapidly broadening its horizon. Its technological prowess, already endorsed by major mining industry players, is increasingly relevant in the dry cargo realm. By automating processes, human error and wastage are drastically curtailed, promoting sustainability and safety by optimizing resource usage and moving human inspectors out of harm’s way. As the company continues to evolve, integrating advanced sensors and adapting to industry requirements, its influence is set to expand across mines, warehouses, ports, terminals, and more. To streamline stocktaking operations and reduce costly, unforced errors from poor inventory management, users can benefit from Tinamu’s accurate, efficient, and sustainable autonomous drone-based inventory management solution.

India’s fast-growing bulk markets

Bruks Siwertell offers major environmental and efficiency advantages
DCi 54
India’s economy is growing fast and its government has ambitious plans for the future. According to a World Bank update in April 2023, although there are significant challenges in the global environment, India’s economy has shown resistance and remains as one of the fastest rising in the world. Its overall growth is estimated to be 6.9% for the full year. In addition to growth, India has committed to numerous sustainability goals. Its Maritime India Vision 2030, created with the objective of propelling India to the forefront of the global maritime sector in the next decade, involves the development of green ports and green shipping.
A PIVOTAL ROLE India has over 7,500km of coastline, and hundreds of ports. So, within this picture, its dry bulk sector plays a pivotal role; approximately 350mt (million metric tonnes) of dry bulk were imported in 2019 and around 75mt exported in the same year. Looking at this in more detail, coal, fertilizer and limestone remain amongst the largest import volumes, while iron ore, grain products and salt are India’s main dry
bulk exports. Bruks Siwertell is involved in almost all of India’s dry bulk markets, with particular prominence in the fertilizer industry and for securing environmentfriendly coal handling. Deliveries to the fertilizer sector include four Siwertell ship-unloaders for the importation of rock phosphate and sulphur, which are important ingredients in its manufacture. Fertilizers underpin India’s national food production. With India’s population predicted to be the largest in the world by the end of this year, surpassing China, food security is a growing concern.
FOOD NEEDS FERTILIZERS Working hard to secure these imports is, for example, Paradeep Phosphates Limited (PPL), a leading fertilizer industry company operating in the state of Odisha, India. PPL is headquartered in Bhubaneswar, and is a major manufacturer of phosphatic fertilizers, ranking as Asia’s second-largest producer of diammonium phosphate (DAP). Since 2006, a rail-mounted Siwertell 640 D-type ship-unloader has been serving the company. It has been a critical part of the port’s environmental transformation,
supporting a switch from open-air handling of sulphur with a bucket-type unloader, to safe, fully enclosed, dust-free operations. The installation has now been in operation for more than 15 years and has been so successful at speeding up vessel turnarounds for PPL, and thereby reducing freight costs and demurrage, that a return on investment has been achieved in a short space of time. Highlighting this success further, in 2021, Bruks Siwertell won a contract to deliver a second Siwertell 640 D-type shipunloader to PPL, enabling the company to keep pace with its expansion plans and an increase in volume demands in the most sustainable and environment-friendly way possible.
EXPANDING SULPHUR IMPORTS Like PPL’s first unloader, the new railmounted ST 640-D unit has the capacity to discharge sulphur from vessels up to 60,000 dwt in size, at a rated capacity of 1,500tph (tonnes per hour). It will alternate handling sulphur cargo with rock phosphate at a rate of 1,200tph and muriate of potash (MOP) at 1,050tph. It will have a similar set up as the existing unit, but will also feature updated,
ENGINEERING & EQUIPMENT
modern components and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions. Both units, like all Siwertell ship-unloaders that handle sulphur, are fitted with the Siwertell Sulfur Safety System (4S), which was first developed over 30 years ago to minimize the risk of explosions when handling this extremely volatile and corrosive dry bulk material in a contained environment. Siwertell technology is the only ship-unloading system that is able to offer safe and totally enclosed sulphur handling, offering a lifeline to sulphur importers like PPL. PPL’s new unloader has now been delivered and is currently undergoing its installation and commissioning phase, which are planned for completion later this year. It will work on the same jetty as Bruks Siwertell’s previous delivery and double the operator’s material handling capacity, delivering a very efficient terminal with top of the line environmental credentials. The high efficiency of the Siwertell unloaders means that vessel unloading times will be kept to an absolute minimum, reducing demurrage, and maximizing the utilization rate of the jetty. Furthermore, the totally enclosed Siwertell conveyor systems minimize dust creation and eliminate spillage, maximizing the terminal’s environmental protection.
By switching from open grab systems to enclosed Siwertell unloaders, both IFFCO as well as PPL’s Siwertell ship-unloaders have significantly increased the dry bulk handling efficiency of the terminals and vastly improved the local environment. This move away from grab cranes can also be noted in Visakhapatnam, the most populous city in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. In 2002, Coromandel Fertilisers Ltd, was facing two issues that needed to be addressed: an existing 30-year-old grab unloader needed a replacement and environmental claims from the naval base opposite the terminal had to be dealt with. In 2003, the operator made the switch to a Siwertell ST 490-F unit, eliminating spillage, minimizing dust emissions, and substantially increasing the cleanliness of the port. The unloader’s high capacity material handling also significantly outstripped the through-ship efficiency of the terminal’s ageing grab crane.
LONG-SERVING MACHINES INSATIABLE APPETITES FOR ENERGY
ENSURING ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Salaya hosts the region’s busy fishing industry and is located close to a national nature reserve and bird sanctuary; therefore, extremely strict environmental protection regulations are in place. Meeting these are two screw-type Siwertell ST 940-DOB ship-unloaders and one belt-conveyor type Siwertell shiploader, which were delivered in 2011. Accommodating vessels up to 180,000 dwt, each unloader is designed to discharge coal at a rated capacity of 2,300tph. The loader can handle ships up to 70,000dwt and is designed to load petroleum coke at a rated capacity of 1,500tph.
OCTOBER 2023
Rising populations also demand energy. The Indian energy sector is heavily investing in non-fossil fuel and renewable energy production, especially solar and wind. However, it recognizes that this will not be enough, quickly enough, to meet the country’s insatiable appetite for energy. Like the rest of the world, India is trying to balance demand with supply and its government currently sees coal-fired power stations as the only viable alternative for some time to come. According to India Energy Outlook 2021, India is the world’s third-largest energy-consuming country, and energy use has doubled since 2000, with 80% of demand still being met by coal, oil and solid biomass.
www.drycargomag.com
Since 2011, Paradeep Port has also been served by a high-capacity, rail-mounted Siwertell ST 790-D unloader, which was delivered to Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited (IFFCO). IFFCO is another leading player in India’s fertilizer industry and runs one of the world’s largest DAP plants, producing around 2mt of fertilizer a year. The plant needs raw materials, including rock phosphate and sulphur, and this is where the Siwertell ship-unloader makes its mark. Able to unload sulphur from vessels up to 75,000dwt at 1,800tph, the Siwertell unit, with its fully enclosed conveying system, also replaced a grab crane and prevents dust emissions, further improving the environmental conditions at the port.
Even though India has significant reserves of domestic coal, there is a growing demand for imported coal. Like the fertilizer sector, in many coal import terminals where grab cranes are traditionally used, there are significant environmental problems with spillage and dust creation. Grab cranes can lose up to 2% of a shipment. Through the use of enclosed Siwertell technology and services, it is possible to help operators decrease their environmental impact when handling coal. For example, Siwertell ship-unloading technology handles coal in a way that absolutely minimizes the environmental impact of the ship to shore link. Enclosed systems minimize dust and eliminate spillage. Installing Siwertell unloaders for coal handling can make very significant positive environmental impacts within import terminals and their surroundings. Benefiting from this is Essar Bulk Terminals; a company that developed the port of Salaya, in the Indian state of Gujarat, into a world-class terminal to meet the region’s power-generation needs.
DCi 55
ENGINEERING & EQUIPMENT www.drycargomag.com OCTOBER 2023
DCi 56
In addition to environmental and capacity advantages, a further benefit of the Siwertell equipment was its relatively low weight, which reduced the cost of constructing the new jetty. Each unloader weighs 912 metric tonnes and the loader weighs 289 metric tonnes. Essar Bulk Terminals, part of Indian multinational conglomerate Essar Group, also operates another Siwertell shiploader in the port of Paradeep. Since 2011, it has delivered reliable, efficient iron ore pellet handling at a rated capacity of 4,000tph. For those operators who are ultimately looking to switch from handling coal to renewable biomass pellets for energy production, for example, Siwertell shipunloaders and loaders are able to handle multiple materials, efficiently and safely. They support coal-fired power plants with co-firing — burning coal and biomass — through to their complete transition to only burning biomass. Biomass pellets are fragile, and break down if not handled correctly. They are also very dusty and prone to self-ignition. Totally enclosed Siwertell unloaders are capable of mitigating these risks, and minimizing any material degradation. This maintains the quality of the shipment and combustion efficiency. The benefits delivered by Siwertell technology is not just limited to India’s fertilizer and coal handling sectors. A growing environmental movement in the country is putting ever greater pressure on local governments and port operators to improve their operational practices and deliver cleaner environments.
SWITCHING FROM GRABS Bruks Siwertell is active in most of the country’s dry bulk markets, with its technology delivering substantial environmental advantages compared to today’s prevalence of traditional grab crane technology in many Indian ports. By offering the market state-of-the-art ship-unloading and loading equipment, with the highest possible environmental credentials, Bruks Siwertell contributes to making dry bulk material handling as clean as possible, minimizing the impact from spillage and dust. Furthermore, Siwertell technology delivers market-leading capacities and efficiencies, enabling operators to maximize port throughput. The well-known phrase, a ship only earns money when it is at sea, emphasizes the importance of equipment
that delivers the shortest vessel turnaround times. If terminals can handle more vessels with the same investment, jetty utilization rates are raised along with profitability. Given India’s population growth and its rapid economic development, the future holds an increased demand for the import of all dry bulk cargoes. This will require modern, efficient, high-capacity shipunloading equipment, which also minimizes the environmental impact of dry bulk material handling. Bruks Siwertell wants to lead the industry’s sustainability drive, and believes that the installation of enclosed Siwertell technology is an ideal solution from both an economic, and an environmental perspective.

NORDEN: decarbonizing its customers’ supply chains
Accounting for some 90% of the world’s transported goods and raw materials, the shipping industry has a responsibility to work proactively to move the transition of the industry forward. Operating at the heart of global trade, NORDEN works proactively with environment-related activities as an integral part of the company’s business strategy, supporting our purpose of enabling smarter global trade. To ensure that it creates concrete impact and move the agenda forward — now — NORDEN works with an ambition of decarbonizing its customers’ supply chains, offering customers carbon emission transparency, alongside initiatives such as voluntary speed reduction, which it expects to generate a 5% reduction in CO2 per tonne-mile, 160,000 reduced tonnes of CO2 and US$10m additional cost in 2023.
APPETITE FOR CHANGE To match — and fuel — its customers’ increasing emphasis on lower-emission freight solutions, and support them in decarbonizing their supply chains,

NORDEN and Canadian mining firm Teck Resources will reduce CO2 emissions in Teck’s steelmaking coal supply chain, in the Teck shipments handled by NORDEN, by 25% annually, or up to 6,700 tonnes of CO2, equivalent to removing over 1,400 passenger vehicles from the road. NORDEN will achieve these emission reductions by utilizing a range of solutions, including the use of fuel-efficient ships and alternative fuels such as biofuel in combination with an intelligent use of advanced data analytics to optimize vessel speed and routing. “With this initiative, we are now able to design customer-tailored freight emission contracts where we leverage our combined expertise to develop unique solutions that support our customers’ ambitions to lower their supply chain emissions,” said NORDEN CEO Jan Rindbo. “NORDEN’s strategy of helping our customers decarbonize their supply chains means that we, in addition to committing to carbon neutrality in 2050, have short- to medium-
term commitments, where our goal is to make carbon emission reductions towards 2030.”
A GREATER PART OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN In another move to achieve its environmental targets, NORDEN has strengthened its future supply of renewable fuels by acquiring a minority stake in MASH Makes, a Danish-Indian biofuel scale-up, which researches, develops and produces renewable fuels from biomass waste. The investment is a strategic partnership, where NORDEN secures access to renewable fuels, specifically bio-oil, at favourable pricing. The partnership places NORDEN at the forefront of the research and development of future renewable fuels, where NORDEN can also benefit from future renewable bio-oils once developed. “We cannot rely solely on traditional offtake agreements with fuel suppliers to achieve decarbonization at the necessary speed that climate change requires,” says Rindbo. “We need to be a greater part of the supply chain, to both ensure significant volumes and attractive prices that can make

NORDEN competitive in offering low emission freight solutions to our customers.” The investment is a natural next step in our biofuel journey. NORDEN was in 2018 one of the first shipping companies to successfully trial 100% biofuel on a large ocean-going vessel. “With this investment, we are turning our attention to the next generation of biofuels and scale up consumption of biofuel,” says Adam Nielsen, Head of Logistics & Climate Solutions at NORDEN. “The benefit of bio-oil is that it can be used in existing vessel technologies and bridge the gap between transitioning from fossil fuels to carbon-free fuels, which requires new vessel technologies.” As a strategic partner, NORDEN’s role will be to help MASH Makes bring its biooil products to the marine fuel market and offtake biofuel for NORDEN’s fleet. The production of MASH Makes’ first bio-oil product is in a late development stage and it expects to conduct the first trial onboard NORDEN vessels in early 2024. Furthermore, the expectation is that MASH Makes can gradually ramp up its production and become a significant supplier to NORDEN’s fleet within the next three years in strategically important locations for decarbonizing global tramp shipping. By persistently being curious and understanding its customers’ needs and bottlenecks and by understanding their requirements and leveraging its strengths — its expansive freight services, logistics expertise and lower-emissions solutions, NORDEN can deliver even smarter freight solutions across all non-containerized cargo.

Biomass growth is fuelling green energy transition at the Port of Belledune New Brunswick’s Belledune Port Authority (BPA) is on track for a sixth straight year of growth in wood pellet volume in 2024. This is the result of strategic infrastructure investments and greenenergy hungry markets advancing the port’s status as Eastern Canada’s largest exporter of biomass. President and CEO Denis Caron says the port’s capacity growth in both wood pellets and wood chips is part of a deliberate transition to climate-friendly energy sources. “Power plants in Europe have reduced their GHG emissions in recent years, and our exporting of wood pellets has played a role in making that happen,” he says. “Green energy has been part of our operations for some time now.” By investing with port partners in a new storage facility and terminal expansion, and seeking out new overseas markets, the port has grown its biomass volume from 223,948 tonnes (wood pellets and wood chips) in 2018 to a projected 510,000 tonnes in 2024. This growth in biomass helped the port realize millions of dollars in successive annual profits through the global pandemic years, despite the global supply chain slowdown. New Brunswick has significant biomass production capacity. Forest biomass is the wood waste that is left as a result of strategic forest management and local sawmill processing. Transformed into wood pellets and chips, it is a source of clean energy and a highly sought-after replacement for fossil fuels in industrial heating and power production. Much of the biomass shipped through the Port of Belledune is destined for European power plants that used to burn coal. This potential for continued growth in biomass volume at the port is strong. Wood pellets are being seriously considered as a replacement fuel for the 470MW Belledune Generating Station, a coal-fired plant located adjacent to the port that was built in 1991. The Canadian
Handling woodchips at the Port of Belledune. government will ban coal for power production starting in 2030. Coal supply for the generating station represents about 40% of the port’s cargo volume. NB Power, the provincial utility that owns the power station, is investigating both the technical and supply chain implications of a conversion to biomass. A 2023 call for expressions of interest for solutions to convert the station resulted in biomass proposals from across North America, and a resource assessment concluded that there is sufficient biomass in the region to support a plant conversion. Due to the large volume of wood pellets that may be required, additional wood pellets could also be imported by vessel. The port is supporting this project, and will import 2,500 tonnes of pellets this autumn for a test burn that is planned for early in 2024. NB Power’s Vice President of Business Development and Strategic Partnerships Brad Coady recently told a New Brunswick legislative committee that the utility will make a decision on a potential solution for the station by the end of 2024. “We have engaged worldwide experts, consultants who have experience with these types of conversions in Europe. Since that time we learned what we need to look at. We spent a lot of time with the plant staff in Belledune, and studying the opportunity to convert from coal to biomass,” he said. “There are two major puzzles we are trying to solve. One is the technical viability of combusting that fuel in that station, and two is where do you find
that fuel for what is ultimately that solution.” The wood pellets in the recently completed storage facility at the Port of Belledune are created from by-products and leftover sawmill biomass materials processed by four main suppliers in Quebec and New Brunswick. This supply is exported overseas through the Port of Belledune. Customers in Europe and other continents overseas continue to increase their purchasing, recognizing the environmental benefits of using wood pellets as fuel for energy production. Biomass is just part of the Port of Belledune’s transition to a cleaner and brighter future. As the world continues to demand cleaner and more sustainable businesses, the Port of Belledune is moving forward with a bold vision to attract and develop green industry fuelled by renewable energy in Northern New Brunswick. Last year, the port launched a new Master Development Plan and has been moving forward with a series of short and longer-term projects to attract development, including a major hydrogen production facility powered by wind, anticipated to come online by 2027. “We are transforming to diversify, grow, and green our business with a brand-new plan for the future,” says Caron. “This plan supports our determination to green our current operations and also our long-term ambition to attract clean industry and enable large-scale production of renewable energy, specifically green hydrogen.”

As the energy landscape undergoes a
profound transformation, with a pronounced emphasis on transitioning from fossil fuels to greener alternatives, PSB Inspection remains steadfast in its commitment to the future. Recognizing the challenges posed by this transition, the company acknowledges that the shift from coal to biomass is not a simple task. The existing infrastructure of power plants, originally designed for coal, necessitates significant modifications to accommodate the distinct properties of biomass. Additionally, the economic aspect comes into play, with biomass generally being more costly than coal. To facilitate a seamless transition, two critical steps are essential: the adaptation of power plants and the creation of financial incentives to make biomass a more attractive option. Despite these challenges, the undeniable reality is that the global energy mix will progressively include renewable sources, and PSB Inspection eagerly contributes to this transformative journey.

Terval SA : from conventional fuel to biomass
can unload up to 10,000t/day from barges and load up to 6,000t/day of bulk. Its processing capacity is one million tonnes a year, with an outside storage capacity of 300,000t and 25,000m2 of inside storage. These numbers relate not only to steam coal, but also include any industrial-related product such as coke, anthracite, ferrooxide and gypsum.
MOVE TO INCLUDE BIOMASS In the last few years, Terval has entered the biomass market. In recent years, European governments and the EU Commission have intensified their environmental policies, catalyzing a shift in the industry’s approach towards fossil fuels. The transition to gas
was once favoured due to its cost-efficiency and reduced logistical challenges, especially during times of low water levels on major Western European rivers. However, recent geopolitical events — such as the Ukraine invasion and Europe’s desire for energy independence from Russian gas imports — have led to a resurgence of interest in biomass. Therefore, Terval is continuing to develop its biomass activity by providing a wide range of biomass products from industrial and premium wood pellets to PKS (palm kernel shells, a byproduct of palm oil production), olive pits and biochar (a carbon-rich solid product produced

In the 1980s, while Europe was significantly reducing its mining activities, Terval was founded to source the coal to meet the huge coal demands of the entire European industry. Therefore, Terval helped to build up the first importing route from South Africa to Europe. Today, Terval is sourcing cargoes from all continents. Terval is based in Liège, less than two days by barge from the AntwerpenRotterdam-Amsterdam range. Moreover, the 15ha processing terminal is directly connected to the train, one of the many advantages of this inland trimodal port.

To further increase its handling and storing activity, Terval is working on a contract to load pellets by train, and is also requesting a permit for a new 3,200m2 warehouse. Always listening to the market and willing to provide new product fitting the client’s needs, Terval is increasing its volume of steam-exploded pellets, reaching 10,000t this summer. Based on the excellent results
that it is getting with this product, Terval has no doubt it will keep expanding. As with conventional fuels, Terval is aiming at processing the material to add value to it. Unfortunately, the same tools cannot be used, so several investments are required. One of these is a proper screening unit to separate the fines (<3mm) from the actual pellets. The capacity shall guarantee to load a truck of pellets in less than 30 minutes with less than 0.5% fines. This unit will be commissioned beginning 2024.
Each year, HAROPA PORT in France imports and exports almost 150,000 tonnes of biomass, firewood and wood chips and pellets as dry cargo. The period of energy transition we are currently living through requires us to heighten our vigilance in order to respond to the logistical goals, issues and challenges facing the sector. Indeed, the current increase in biomass requirements for projects involving material recycling and energy risks is creating pressure on supply — and sometimes even some difficulties in procurement at a regional level. This could be the case from 2025 if all planned projects come to fruition. The development of these sectors, most notably the production of biofuels and hydrogen, underscore this potential situation. HAROPA PORT’s terminals and stevedores will be on hand to ensure the availability of imports to supplement local biomass supplies. The many inland port facilities of HAROPA PORT based along the whole of the Seine Axis provide a series of locations for mass concentration of a biomass resource otherwise spread across the region as a whole.

As an example of this ‘industrial ecology’, a biomass power plant called BioSynErgy Seine Normandy has just entered service in the industrial port zone of Le Havre. Located in the heart of the industrial activities zone of Le Havre seaport, the BioSynErgy Seine Normandy project led by the SUEZ group involves the construction of a Class B biomass boiler (wood waste, waste from businesses, bulky waste items, furniture, and so on).
www.drycargomag.com OCTOBER 2023
This 43.5MW facility will produce steam and hot water for supply in renewable energy of 80% of the total requirement of the Le Havre Sud district heating system (currently being expanded) and the future industrial heating system in the port/industrial area. Part of this heat will also come from that automatically generated by operation of the TotalEnergies petrochemical plant. This project will lead to a sevenfold reduction in the carbon footprint, thus avoiding the emission of 815,000 tonnes of CO2 over the duration of the public service concession agreement (24 years), the equivalent to the emissions of 20,000 vehicles per year. The BioSynErgy Seine Normandy entered service on 1 October 2023. This project is now a reality and an integral part of the carbon net zero strategy for 2050 undertaken by HAROPA PORT. In this connection, HAROPA PORT has recently been designated as a low-carbon industrial area by the French government, making the port area even more competitive and attractive.

Dominican power provider solves serious conveyor dust & spillage issues When faced with excessive amounts of dust and spillage from conveyor systems, operators logically focus on the cleanup, maintenance, and mitigating downtime to maintain production levels, writes Shane Tighe, Territory Manager, Martin Engineering. Often these dust and spillage issues can be deemed ‘minor inconveniences’ or ‘the cost of doing business’, until they raise the cost of operation to such a level that they can no longer be overlooked. However, when a new plant begins production and these issues present themselves at the outset, it is best to address them early. This was the case for San Pedro BioEnergy (SPBE), a biomass power producer in the Dominican Republic. The conveyors carrying organic matter experienced so much fugitive dust and spillage that relatively new components were failing due to fouling. This caused excessive downtime and required excessive maintenance. The increased labour, expense of equipment replacement, and downtime for maintenance raised the cost of operation and rendered the situation unsustainable over the long term. “We convert low-cost waste products sourced from local agricultural and recycling partners into affordable power for surrounding communities and industries,” explained Ing. Luis Alberto Pantín González, General Manager at SPBE. “Efficiency is a priority for us. That is why we engaged Pegran and Martin Engineering for a solution.”

enclosures with skirting, but the impact idlers created large gaps where high volumes of fugitive dust and fines escaped. “The dust was dense, and the spillage reached waist height in a matter of hours,” said Alfonso Granata Jr. of Pegran. “When
we were invited to examine the issue, we pointed out some of the causes and offered solutions.” In its report, the inspection team identified several system design issues that contributed to the dust and spillage issues. One was that the inlet chutes were dropping material behind the loading zones onto the transitions from the tail pulley to the first troughed idler instead of directly onto the impact idlers. This caused the belts to slump, opening large gaps under the skirting where material could escape. Without support, this also caused uncentered loading. Spillage collected underneath the loading zones, piled up past the return belt lines and fouled the tail pulleys. Another problem was induced and displaced air in the loading zones. Because of the unobstructed drop height, the impact created ‘splash’ that resulted in dust and spillage being forcefully exhausted. Other issues included the lack of proper equipment to adequately control and contain material. For example, there were no wear liners on the enclosures, which left the polyurethane skirting to perform double duty containing material and taking the brunt of the transfer force. This resulted in premature failure of the skirting, contributing to fugitive dust and spillage. Missing consistently across the three transition points were stilling zones (also known as ‘settling zones’) and dust collectors to mitigate air flow and control emissions. After the loading zones, dust that did not escape the chute accumulated on the inside walls of enclosures rather than settling back onto the cargo flow, posing a risk of fire or explosion from accidental sparking.

CLEAN ENERGY, DIRTY CONVEYORS

Operating a total of 30 conveyors, the main problem of fugitive dust and spillage were experienced at three critical transfer points leading from the mulcher to the incinerator. Two run horizontally from towers high above the ground and one is inverted at a 45º angle. Transporting mulch, the 1,828mm (72in.) wide belts ran for 15m (50ft), then dropped the material 6–9m (20–30ft) through unobstructed chutes directly onto impact idlers. Processed to between 1–100mm (.04–4in.) in size, the mulch became lighter and more prone to emit dust. The long unobstructed drops through the chutes caused impacts that created turbulent air within loading zones that weren’t equipped to control airflow. One of the transfer points was only enclosed by a grated structure, offering no dust or spillage control at all. Two of the loading zones had

Fugitive material was not just a problem at the transfer points, it was also an issue throughout the transit and discharge of cargo. Uneven loading made the cargo settle off center, causing the belts to drift. Once the belts reached the discharge zone, the existing belt cleaners did not adequately clear the material from the belts’ surface, allowing fines to cling to the belt and carry back, piling spillage along the belt path. Since these conveyors were located above other parts of the plant, the carryback would drop a long distance, allowing it to spread and collect on all surfaces throughout the plant. This required workers to regularly be taken from other tasks and assigned to clean the spillage. “Every other day we assigned a four person crew to the job of cleaning up around these areas, which took an entire shift. This raised the cost of labour, but without it, material would pile up, encapsulate the conveyor and make things worse,” said Ing. Pantín. “We were also struggling with dust fouling the bearings of idlers, pulleys and machinery, causing them to fail prematurely. Every time this happened, we had to shut down for maintenance, which affected power production.”
The support cradles and idlers in between each create a smooth and sealed beltline.

MODERN TRANSFER POINT DESIGN

Reimagining the system meant rethinking every aspect from tail to head pulley. This began with doubling the length of the enclosures from 6m (20ft) to 12m (40ft) and raising the height of each one a few centimeters. The chute enclosure is modular so that it can be modified in the future. The extra length and height allowed for more airflow control, dust control equipment, an external wear liner and room for the active dust to settle back into the cargo flow. The single long black rubber strip of skirting sits on top of the orange external wear liner plate.
Starting at the loading zones, the existing impact idlers created a bumpy belt path and gaps between the belt and skirting, allowing dust and fines to escape. Those were replaced by impact cradles and
slider support cradles with smooth static bars down the length of the enclosure. The technicians installed 1,524mm (60in.) wide impact cradles with medium-duty impact absorbing bars. The bars are reinforced by a steel support structure with a base of 50-durometer styrene-butadiene (SBR) rubber and a top layer of slick UHMW plastic. The benefit of bars over idlers is they provide an even belt plane for the skirting to properly seal the enclosure with no gaps. The placement of the units promoted centred loading to mitigate belt drift and less bumping through the settling zones to reduce dust production. Following the impact cradles, the slider cradles were set at a 35º trough angle. Offering belt support with a smooth transition, they have 62 durometer (shore D) UHMW polyethylene sidebars bars and 140mm (5.5in.) centre support rollers set at the base between the bars, away from the belt edge to avoid fouling.

The external wear liners are easily swapped out from the outside of the system, reducing labour and improving safety. The skirt seals are specially designed one-piece polyurethane strips that stretch down the length of the chute and seal the enclosures to the belts, preventing the escape of fines and dust. Mounted on the outside of the chute walls for simple external maintenance, they float on the belts’ surface and self-adjust to maintain an effective seal without maintenance. When the bottom side is worn, the skirting strips
can be flipped over, extending the operational life and reducing equipment costs. On the return side of the belt beneath the loading and settling zones, technicians installed V-ploughs and belt tracking systems. The ploughs are mounted with self-adjusting arms that hold the units in place as they glide lightly on the return side of the belts and deflect any fugitive material that could foul the tail pulleys. The belt tracking systems feature a roller set slightly above the return belt line. Two arms sense
Dual skirting with the orange external wear liner plate offer chute sealing and protection.

The unique ‘box’ design allows maintenance staff to turn the bars over for a second service life without disassembly of cradle components. The rugged steel assembly is attached to its frame on a track allowing a single worker to simply pull the cradle away from the frame to perform any service on sidebars or idlers from outside of the stringer. “In between each of the cradles are specialized troughed idlers,” Granata Jr. said. “The purpose is to ensure there are no gaps between the cradles where fugitive material can escape. These are also set on a track and pull out for easy service.” The modular enclosure chutes above the loading and settling zones are designed to offer operators options when making modifications to the design. The tail sections were capped with metal shields formed to the trough angle to prevent rollback. The enclosure exits were covered by flexible dust curtains made of thick 6mm (0.25in.) rubber strips to moderate air turbulence. Each section of the enclosure chutes can be economically swapped out for future changes or additions to the system. The enclosures lengthened and heightened the settling zones to control airflow. Above the transition between the loading zones and settling zones, holes were cut to accommodate dust bags that filter escaping air and capture airborne particles. Once the system is shut off, the collected dust falls from the bag back onto the conveyors. Beyond air circulation, another reason the enclosure chute height was raised was to allow for wear liners and dual-efficiency skirting. Along the enclosure, brackets were placed and thick wear liner plates were installed to protect the chute wall from the punishing environment inside the loading and settling zones. Commonly wear liners are welded to the inside of the chute, requiring chute entry and hot work

One of the biggest causes of spillage was carryback. Heavy-duty primary belt cleaners with metal tip blades were installed at the head pulleys. Due to periods of high humidity, installers fitted them with low-adhesion urethane blades specifically designed for sticky and tacky material. “The curved design conforms to the belt, and the tensioning system ensures continuous contact across the belt profile,” said Granata Jr. “The blades do an excellent job of drastically reducing the volume of carryback and the thick dust.”

The installation at SPBE was conducted during a scheduled outage by a handful of local contractors under the supervision of experienced Pegran and Martin Engineering technicians. When the system was run and tested, it was immediately apparent that the new equipment drastically reduced the volume of fugitive spillage and dust around the transfer points and throughout the plant. “With only a few adjustments, the fullbelt tests clearly showed that the system was much improved,” Granata Jr. observed. “Not only did this project reduce the spillage and dust, but it improved efficiency across several critical sections of the power plant’s throughput.” Two years following installation, the equipment runs as projected with no
degradation in efficiency. Unscheduled downtime from dust getting into rolling components and fouling machinery has not been a problem since installation. This lowered the cost of operation and made production more sustainable. Managers at SPBE have noticed a significant decrease in expenditures for the replacement of idlers and other components. The spillage of fines no longer builds to excessive levels on equipment throughout the plant, so the cleanup schedule has been scaled back to once per week. These factors have reduced labour costs and maintenance schedules, resulting in more efficient and cost effective operations. “Less dust and spillage have made the plant a more pleasant and safer place to work,” said Ing. Pantín. “We’re impressed with the quality of the equipment and the service we received from Pegran and Martin. It’s a lasting solution that’s increased uptime with significantly less maintenance. Greater production meant a faster return on investment, which has freed up the budget to make improvements to other parts of the plant.”

In the realm of materials handling, SAMSON Materials Handling stands as an industry leader, known for its innovative and efficient solutions, writes Petar Petrov Karaivanov Marketing & Communications Manager, SAMSON Materials Handling. Among its impressive portfolio, SAMSON has been making significant strides in biomass handling capabilities. Most biomass fuels reaching modern dedicated or multi-fuel power plants originate in managed or regulated forests or from the residues of timber processes. These are generally broken into woodchip (coin-sized pieces of wood) and often then dried and extruded into wood pellets. Non-fossil-fuel obligations force electricity utilities to source power from sustainable resources of which wood pellets are the most prolific, demanding efficient international logistics. Often, the source of these materials is far from the end-users, plants and consumers; therfore, efficient logistics and handling of these materials is crucial for sustained flow and bottle neck preventions.

prevents dockside handling equipment from failing catastrophically. There are typically two reasons for such failures: v Overloading the crane with too much weight. Because LoadSense is constantly producing a digital signal, it is easy to set up the control computer with an overload value that will trigger an alarm if it is breached. It is equally simple, and practically better, to set the computer so that it will cut out lifting operations if the overload limit is breached, thus ensuring excessive loads are not raised off the ground. v Ageing cranes and unloaders can suffer fatigue failure. LoadSense can be used to keep count of the number of operational cycles performed, and signal when the equipment’s design life is being approached. An inspection can then be conducted to determine the likelihood of imminent failure and remedial works that can be undertaken. In conclusion we can say that to be profitable harbour operators need to work their dockside handling equipment long and hard and that the best way to ensure reliability and safety is by constantly monitoring the load and interpretation of the ensuing data. LoadSense from Sensor Technology makes this requirement completely automatic and foolproof.

fully automatic so causes no disruption to normal operations. Special training is not required; instead comprehensive and easily understood information becomes instantly available to operators and managers alike. The LoadSense sensor is based on proven strain gauge technology, and is calibrated as standard in the range 1–50 tonnes, with other ranges available on request. It constantly monitors the load and transmits this wirelessly, using the unrestricted 2.4GHz waveband, to a receiver for onwards transfer to the control computer. This enables accurate load data to be displayed, typically via a colour touchscreen computer, running Windows XP. The screen shows real time measurement of the load, while the computer records and analyses it. LoadSense has become a favourite amongst harbour crane operators as an important enabling technology to improve safety, asset availability, productivity and profitability. For instance, you may need to know how much material you have transported, or you could be handling two or more materials simultaneously which need to be accounted for individually. A common scenario is where multiple customers’ cargos are being handled at the same time; here LoadSense gives operators the information they need in order to invoice each appropriately. LoadSense also enhances safety and

The increasing globalization of the world economy is pressurizing ports, docks and harbours into handling everincreasing volumes of cargo, so mobile harbour equipment has to work efficiently and reliably at all times. Tony Ingham of Sensor Technology Ltd explains how monitoring the work rate of cranes, loaders and unloaders means their performance can be optimized and downtime for maintenance can be scheduled for minimum disruption to operational requirements. Importing and exporting of dry bulk cargos, from minerals to grains, fertilizers to cement, wood chips to agricultural products, is almost exclusively a maritime operation. Thus there is a need to load and unload ships and barges, and in the modern world this has to be done quickly, efficiently and safely. So as the volume requirements of world trade increase, harbour operators must ensure their loading/unloading equipment is in top condition, always available for use, and able to adapt to new operational, commercial and safety requirements. The best way to maintain such equipment is constant monitoring while it is working. This will allow the work to be totalized so that pre-emptive maintenance scheduling can be optimized, and will also instantly pick up early signs of emerging problems, such as sticking bearings. The work done is directly related to the totalized load lifted, a parameter that crane and loader operators should also be measuring for both safety and commercial reasons. Constant load monitoring used to be very difficult, but Sensor Technology has developed the perfect solution. Called LoadSense, it was originally used with helicopters carrying underslung loads in cargo nets and has now been adapted for use on ground-based materials handling equipment. The technology involves a sensor being fitted to each crane or unloader. Once installed this does not interfere with handling operations at all, but constantly sends real time data via a wireless link to a computer, where it can be displayed, stored, totalized and analysed to provide performance information to the operators and billing information for the customers. LoadSense is an intelligent load sensor that can easily be integrated with a mobile harbour crane. Designed and manufactured by Sensor Technology in Banbury UK, it is

Managing material quality in bulk material handling can be achieved using a digital twin approach. A digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical object, process or system. It captures and analyses real-time data from the different sources, and uses it to generate accurate, up-to-date models and simulations. The digital twin can be used to monitor material quality, detect any anomalies or trends, and take corrective actions to ensure the desired quality of the material. Furthermore, it can be used to track and store data related to material quality, such as: material properties; particle size distribution; moisture content; and other parameters. It can ensure that the desired quality is maintained. A digital twin would involve the integration of multiple sensors and analytics to monitor the quality of the material throughout the process. This would involve sensors that measure the physical properties of the material, such as: size; shape; temperature; specific parameters related to the production of energy or other products in a factory; and humidity — as well as sensors that detect contaminants and other impurities. This data could then be analysed in real time to detect any changes in the material, enabling operators to adjust parameters or take corrective action as necessary. In addition, the data could also be used to create predictive models and forecasts to anticipate changes in the material and optimize the process accordingly. The virtual replica of the physical equipment and processes used in the bulk material handling industry allows for the simulation of various scenarios and operations. This simulation provides insight into the performance of the physical system. It can be used to analyse the performance of a system in real time, identify areas of improvement, and suggest optimal configurations. It can also be used to train personnel on the use of bulk material handling equipment and processes, allowing for more efficient and safer operations. Physical tracking of raw material quality involves monitoring the movement, storage, and processing of raw materials throughout the production process. This includes tracking as they enter and exit various stages of production, as well as monitoring their condition over time.

New transfer point and conveyor technologies help control dust and improve production
With the growing need for technology and industry for more efficient, safer and more productive material handling systems, companies are looking to harness those technologies to advance their systems. One of the most recent advancements — which will be a major boon in bulk handling stockyards — in new conveyor technology has been made by ASGCO®. The company’s patented Pro-Zone® modular conveyor belt transfer point system and/or complete conveyor systems are engineered and made to ensure the product is transferred efficiently and dust-free. This load zone containment system is designed as a dust tight troughed-tube with internal skirtboards and seals and no external skirtboards for dust and material to escape. This system can be retrofitted to existing conveyors and transfer points and is all completely engineered, designed and manufactured in the USA. Containing dust, minimizing product degradation and ensuring the product flows and moves properly in bulk material handling conveying systems is of paramount importance for several reasons:
v Health & Safety: dust generated during material handling can pose serious health risks to workers. Inhalation of dust particles can lead to respiratory problems, such as lung diseases and allergies. Some dust particles may also be toxic or carcinogenic, further increasing health hazards. Therefore, minimizing dust
exposure is crucial for maintaining a safe working environment. v Environmental impact: dust emissions from bulk material handling can have adverse effects on the environment. Airborne dust can settle on nearby vegetation, bodies of water, and residential areas, leading to contamination and potential harm to

ecosystems. Containing dust helps reduce these environmental impacts. Equipment maintenance: dust can accelerate the wear and tear of equipment used in material handling, such as conveyor belts, pulleys, and motors. Excessive dust can clog machinery, decrease efficiency, and increase maintenance costs. By containing dust, equipment longevity is extended, and maintenance costs are reduced. Operational efficiency: dust in conveying systems can impede the smooth flow of materials. It can cause blockages, reduce conveyor belt traction, and increase the risk of spillage. These issues can disrupt production, increase downtime, and result in financial losses. Containing dust ensures the uninterrupted flow of materials and optimal system performance. Compliance with regulations: many regions have strict environmental regulations that limit dust emissions from industrial operations. Failing to contain dust can result in regulatory violations, fines, and legal consequences. Complying with these regulations is not only a legal requirement but also an ethical responsibility. Product quality: dust contamination can compromise the quality of the bulk materials being handled. In industries like bio-fuels (pellets), limestone, coal and other commodities where maintaining product size is critical. Containing dust ensures that the final product meets quality standards. Energy efficiency: dust-laden air can increase resistance and pressure drop in ventilation and dust collection systems. This places additional strain on the fans and motors used to control dust emissions. Proper dust containment and collection can reduce energy consumption and operating costs. Fire and explosion hazards: certain materials, such as fine powders and some metals, can be highly flammable and prone to explosions when dispersed as dust in the air. Dust containment measures, including explosion suppression systems, help mitigate the risk of catastrophic incidents. Worker productivity: excessive dust in the workplace can reduce visibility and create discomfort for workers. This can lead to decreased productivity and potentially hazardous

The igus project engineering team assists clients with the sizing, design, construction, project management, reconstruction, installation and commissioning on site. For bulk material handling, igus offers heavy duty roller e-chains such as the 4040RHDB and the 5050RHD. Because the energy chain rolls and does not slide, it runs quietly and with low vibration. Wear is significantly lower than with a version without rollers, and the force required for movement is also up to 57% lower. These energy chains enable travel lengths of 1km and more as well as cable loads of up to 50kg/m and speeds of up to 6m/s. Various roller types allow optimum application adaption. What makes them special, is that igus energy chains consist of tribologically, i.e. friction and wear optimized, high-performance plastics. Consequently, they are cost-effective, lightweight but also durable, corrosion-free, low-maintenance and resistant to dirt, sea water, chemicals and extreme temperature. They offer a long service life, which is tested and proven in the in-house
dust and dirt. During the mining and subsequent storage of bauxite, a sedimentary rock for the production of aluminium oxide, a lot of dust is thrown up, which is a major challenge especially for the moving machine parts of the conveyor units. For several years now, the igus e-chains have reliably supplied conveyor units and stockpiling equipment with media for example: power, data and hoses for dust reduction. With the water irrigation of the dry bulk material, enormous amounts of minerals can be saved, as they are not carried away by the wind. With the hardwired energy chain system, there is no data loss on travel distances of over 1,200m. While igus offers a wide variety of standard products, the motion plastics specialist also offers customized solutions that meet the individual requirements of the application. Customers benefit above all from the fact that they receive everything from a single source: the hardware, consultation, assembly service, a guarantee of up to 36 months. Since 2019, igus even collects and recycles old energy chains regardless of the manufacturer as part if its ‘chainge’ programme. The objective is to use valuable resources for as long as

laboratory, which covers 3,800m2. On the basis of the test results, the service life of the igus products can be calculated with the help of an online tool. Another advantage is that igus offers complete energy supply systems ready for connection, calles readychain. This includes the energy chain equipped with highly flexible chainflex cables and — if needed — plug connections. This does not only optimize the procurement process but also reduces manufacturing costs and assembly time significantly, which in turn means less machine downtime. To increase safety and avoid unplanned downtime, customers can also use smart plastics, i.e. smart sensors which allow 24/7 condition monitoring (i.Sense) and predictive maintenance (i.Cee). For example, the roller e-chain 5050RHD equipped with the i.Sense condition monitoring works safely in a Czech lignite-fired power plant by Tušimice under extreme environmental conditions. The energy chain has been working without failure for more than ten years on 615m travel length. The same system is also used by AOS Stade, one of the major German alumina bauxite producers, in outdoor use with

The logistics of loading keystone of the bulk handling chain
Loading procedures and TRC’s dust control strategies Loading material is a particular case of material handling which considers transferring material from one point to another, writes Gonzalo Campos Canessa, CEO of The Raring Corporation (TRC). A transfer point between two conveyor belts can be considered as a loading procedure, because one conveyor loads a downstream one. In fact, the area located
on the receiving conveyor belt where the material falls into is called loading zone, and this is where the Raring Corp normally populates the largest number of nozzles. This arrangement helps to suppress the dust being generated on this kind of loading application. In hard rock mining, these two conveyors are normally connected using sealed chutes and proper covers which
makes it relatively easy to suppress dust generation with a good combination of passive and active dust control systems. Nevertheless, this is normally not the case in quarry plants, cement plants or other industries. As I have explained in previous articles, the passive dust control system, in this case, corresponds to chutes and covers.
ENGINEERING & EQUIPMENT
so there is a big incentive on returning this material back into the process. At the same time the granulometry of this material is extremely homogenous and fine. If you load a conveyor belt with the material being stored inside the baghouse hopper, a new high pollute zone will be created, which means that you may be solving the dust issues in one point of the plant to transfer the problem to a new point. Most of the users mix this material with water and transport it to the wet part of the processing plant, which can be located further away. A smarter solution is to integrate both technologies by adding a TRC Dust Suppression system to the end

of the baghouse’s screw conveyor, spray fog on the loading zone and therefore, create a hybrid dust control system that efficiently solves the problem of what to make with the baghouses by-product and efficiently control the dust at the same time. Loading trucks or ships using telescoping chutes and/or shiploaders is definitely a challenging application. On these kind of applications it is more difficult to create an efficient passive dust control system. Semi-trucks and ships have a wideopen area on the top, it is almost impossible to cover, and these loading procedures normally are exposed to wind gusts which can blow away both the dust and Fog being sprayed. On these applications there is a need to spray a lot of Fog inside the truck/ship to create a dense blanket of Fog covering the top opening and therefore not allowing the dust to escape the loading volume. At the same time, it is crucial to spray as close to the bunker as possible, in order to avoid wind effects, take full advantage of the Fog’s energy and density of Fog to capture the fine dust particles and suppress dust generation. After reviewing three different applications, it is clear that there is not a single recipe to help clients to solve their dust issues within loading procedure. It is crucial to clearly understand the clients needs and how each particular application works, what are the challenges and which passive dust control strategies can be implemented.
www.drycargomag.com
On the other hand, the active dust control system is the addition of TRC’s Dry Fog inside the controlled volumes. Another loading procedure that is key to keep processing facilities dust free is the load of concentrated fine materials back into the process. Baghouses can be as efficient as TRC’s Dry Fog systems on controlling the generating dust all along the mining crushing plants and sometimes is just a matter of preferences which one to use in each case, plant and/or application. Even though the technologies and principles used by these two dust control systems are totally different, in my opinion the big difference between the two is the fact that TRC’s Dry Fog does not create a byproduct for controlling the dust and baghouses require by-product handling on its dust control process. TRC’s Dry Fog creates a fine cloud of water particles, which microscopic size allow the agglomeration between Fog and dust particles. The agglomeration increases the dust weight and settle down the dust particles into the conveyor or any other processing equipment where Fog is being applied. On the other hand, baghouses extract the dust from a polluted point, rejects clean air through a stack and store fine particles on its integrated hopper. And here is where the problem comes, what to do with these fine particles constantly being stored inside a hopper (by-product)? The by-product in question contains minerals that you don’t want to waste

BEUMER Group supports bulk material terminals at ports: adapting to ever-changing circumstances In the port environment, shiploaders ensure fast, reliable loading of ships with bulk materials – for example urea fertilizers (all photos: © BEUMER Group GmbH & Co. KG).
Dry bulk ports and terminals are in a state of constant change. The materials they handle change and so, too, do the quantities. Operators are constantly having to adapt to new requirements. They want to automate their activities as much as possible while also remaining flexible. They need more space for future expansions, and they are constantly facing the challenge of adapting their facilities to the increasing throughput, while at the same time paying ever more attention to avoiding dust emissions and improving their CO2 footprint. In projects such as these, BEUMER Group works together closely with its customers to develop efficient and new solutions. The ability to load ships quickly is a decisive productivity factor. It is important to adapt the technology implemented in ports to the local space constraints and the size of the vessels — as well as to take account of the characteristics of the transported material. “Ports are faced with the challenge of increasing their performance,” explains Lukas Paul, Head of Ports & Terminals at BEUMER Group. To remain competitive, operators must constantly expand their terminals. “That is just one of the challenges. It is necessary to ensure economically viable and environmentally responsible operation and, first and foremost, cost efficiency.” When it comes to dry bulk handling equipment, BEUMER Group is there to help. The system provider supports operators — starting with every aspect of conveyor technology and through to the loading of
the ships. “When customers come to us, we sit down with them and talk,” explains BEUMER expert Paul. “In most cases, they know their everyday workflows extremely well and are aware of where the weak points and bottlenecks are.” To ensure the efficient handling of dry bulk, they must constantly adapt or expand their terminals. However, the restricted space available in ports often presents a difficulty. This means that operators face the challenge of integrating new storage areas — and these are not always in the immediate vicinity of the port. To use these areas, environmentally friendly conveyor systems represent an alternative to trucks.
BELT CONVEYORS AS A COST-EFFICIENT ALTERNATIVE
Belt conveyors can be used to transport various bulk materials from and to the port. BEUMER Group supplies a variety of solutions depending on the intended use. Troughed belt conveyors, for example, permit high mass flows. They have an open design and are therefore suitable for coarse materials and very large volumes. Pipe conveyors, by contrast, have other specific advantages. The idlers shape the belt into a closed tube. This protects the transported material against external influences and also protects the environment against emissions such as dust or material loss. Panels with hexagonal cutouts and idler rollers in an offset arrangement keep the tube closed. Pipe conveyors are able to cope with tighter curves and larger angles
of inclination than are possible with an open troughed belt conveyor. Their enclosed design also enables them to handle various bulk materials securely without any danger of cross-contamination. They also protect the health of the people who work at the facility or live nearby – for example, when bulk metal concentrates are being transported. Lukas Paul remembers a project in Peru. To transport zinc, copper or lead concentrates mined by a number of different companies from the store to the terminal, the system provider installed a pipe conveyor measuring approximately 3,000 meters in length which transported more than 2,000 tonnes of this material per hour. However, there was a problem: the route passed through a military area with barracks for troops. The enclosed conveyor system reliably prevents the concentrates from coming into contact with the environment and conveys them to the ship’s holds without generating dust. The pipe conveyor is also equipped with filters, scrapers, a dust removal mechanism and a control system, making the need for any transfer points superfluous. “Our belt conveyor systems are an economical and environmentally friendly alternative to truck transport,” says Paul. “They allow operators to automate their processes and remove the burden of the manual work from their employees. This solution also reduces energy consumption.”
ADAPTING FOR IMPROVED PERFORMANCE Sometimes the bottleneck can be a transfer
ENGINEERING & EQUIPMENT www.drycargomag.com
chute. The facilities are already designed to cope with large volumes of bulk materials, but the transfer chutes through which the material moves from one conveyor to the next are not. “That was true of one of our customers,” reports Paul. In this case, the experts at BEUMER were able to perform a DEM analysis which enabled them to adapt the chutes and eliminate the bottleneck. “When we talk to our customers and analyse the processes, we very soon see whether a technical solution to the problem already exists,” says Paul. An example? BEUMER Group supplied the conveyor technology for an iron ore terminal in Malaysia. “We were making a few small changes to improve plant performance when we discovered a new problem related to conveying iron ore in a particular condition,” recalls the BEUMER expert: during the rainy season, the material that is to be transported can sometimes become wet and sticky. In this state, material sticks to the conveyor belt and over time is distributed along the complete conveyor route. There was no suitable solution for keeping the belt clean available on the market. “We had tried a number of different belt scrapers but that didn’t really help,” says Paul. BEUMER’s technical experts developed a prototype that cleans the belt using very-highpressure water. “In this way, we were able to remedy a problem for which there had previously been no solution.” The U-shape conveyor was developed against a similar background. The challenge was to combine the advantages of open troughed and enclosed pipe conveyors: the transported material had to be protected against outside influences such as wind, rain or snow — while the environment had to be protected against potential escaping material and dust. The solution had to be equally suitable for coarse material as well as very fine material. And all this was made even harder by the sometimes complex routing. “In our U-shape conveyors, a special idler roller configuration forms the belt into a U-shape. This is how the bulk material is transported to the discharge
The U-shape conveyor is able to cope with tighter curves than a troughed conveyor and transport larger mass flows than a pipe conveyor.
station,” explains Paul. A similar idler roller configuration to that used in troughed conveyors is used to open the belt. In this way, BEUMER Group has extended the possibilities for providing the best bulk material transport solution based on the specific need of the individual project.
FROM GREENFIELD TO BROWNFIELD PROJECTS
BEUMER Group works not only on greenfield but also on brownfield projects – for example in the case of a fertilizer factory in Malaysia. To meet the growing demand for urea fertilizers, the system provider was commissioned to modernize and improve the performance of the existing system located between the longitudinal stockpile and the shiploading system. The project scope included not only a portal scraper and shiploader but also a fully automatic tripper car which fills the longitudinal stockpile, system monitoring and control equipment, adaptation of the motor control units, a transformer station, a transfer station and a screening station. The schedule was quite tight. However, the particular difficulty lay in finding space to install the new systems. “We had to install a new reclaimer in the warehouse. To do this, we blocked off a small section of the hall in order to construct the new

DCi 108
reclaimer, which was approximately 50 metres wide. We had to bring it in part-bypart through the back door and then assemble it during ongoing production,” describes Paul. “During our discussions, it usually becomes clear to us straight away what the customer needs. As a result, we are often able to propose a solution very quickly.” However, the complex part lies in the actual implementation and identifying precisely where the problems lie. “Thanks to our experience with the pipe conveyor, we were able, for example, to form the belt on the U-shape conveyor into the required shape. However, we still had to find out whether the belt would run stably and whether there were any problems in shaping it,” says Paul. The answers to these problems become clear with time. It is also important to adapt the systems to the bulk material — for example in the case of fertilizer. Here, it is necessary to make sure that certain components are manufactured from stainless steel. “We have to examine the application very carefully,” stresses Paul. “We can’t simply pick a solution off the shelf and be confident that it will function well in countless other applications.” It is important to have a precise understanding of the materials in order to adapt the design individually using the appropriate technical capabilities. This is the great strength of BEUMER Group. FAM has been part of the group of companies since May 2022. It plans, designs and manufactures turnkey plant and equipment for extracting, transporting, loading and storing minerals, raw materials and goods. “This allows us to provide an even more comprehensive service to port terminal operators, be it very large or also smaller systems,” says Paul.

indurad develops and manufactures unique 2D and 3D radar sensors in Germany and is a market leader in industrial imaging radar solutions. Since its foundation in 2009, the company’s radar sensors have mostly been used to improve mining and bulk material handling.
TRAIN LOADING indurad uses gamechanging radar technology in mining and bulk material handling. Its radar-based solutions, revolutionize material loading onto railcars and other sectors, optimizing efficiency and safety. iLoadout employs 1D and 2D radar sensors for different operational applications. The 1D radar sensors track wagon position and speed. PE cells are also replaced by more precise, maintenance-free radar sensors. The radar sensors create detailed 3D maps for the wagon content on the In- and OutGO sides and use the data to reduce significantly overloading, underloading and material distribution issues during the loading process. This optimizes drastically the loadout performance and efficiency. iLoadout thus also provides a full digital twin. This smart system maximizes railcar capacity, reducing costs and enhancing efficiency. The calculation is easy. Some customers, on average, load one metric tonne more per railcar, loading several trains with 180 railcars each and run them over hundreds of kilometres.

SILO LOADOUT WITH IBELT The iSilo solution has been adding value to a multitude of bulk material handling processes by providing precise 3D inventory control for all sorts of silos. Growing industry requirements such as: needing to convert material level to volume or mass, accounting for specific material behaviour, and operating reliably in harsh ambient conditions have proven to be too much for conventional level measurement systems. iSilo uses robust 3D sensors and cutting-edge software to confidently meet these objectives. Additionally, 3D inventory control is one of the most critical components of having a Digital Twin that allows clients to utilize the advantages of real time plant monitoring. The iSilo solution can be deployed in mines, plants, smelters and ports. The solution is applicable to all bulk commodities, including, amongst others, crushed ore, coal, lignite, potash, sulphur, salt, cement, tar sand, grain, wood pellets, or fertilizers. For simpler and smaller silos, indurad can use 2D or 1D sensors as well in order to estimate the level inside the silo

section area between the material surface line and the calibrated zero line (belt contour). Based on the cross-section area (mm2), the volume flow (m3/h) can be calculated by integrating speed information (m/s). The iBeltSPEED module provides accurate speed measurement of the actual bulk material carried by the belt as opposed to belt speed which may be different. It scans the material surface to measure the exact speed of the moving material. The main advantage is that pulley slippage, belt wear, etc. do not affect the measurement. The iBeltALIGN provides accurate belt alignment measurement. It allows for belt alignment tracking in the PLC and helps lower the cost of maintenance by enabling to take preventive actions to realign the belt. Belt alignment functionality is provided by the addition of two iLDR-C (induradLinearDynamicRadar-Compact) sensors, one on each side of the belt.
