Bedeschi closes deal for another floating terminal system

A Bedeschi floating terminal which is very similar to the new one the company will supply to the shipyard in Indonesia.

Over the years, Bedeschi has been entrusted by many prestigious clients worldwide to help them overcome various marine infrastructural bottlenecks, both onshore and offshore.

These clients have valued the innovative approach and capability of Bedeschi in understanding their exact requirements and in designing and implementing solutions, which are suited specifically to their projects’ requirements.

Transshippers have a distinct advantage over the shore terminals, because they can be implemented without the need for dredging the seabed in order to enable the large vessels to come alongside. In addition, the implementation costs of floating terminals is not as high as shore terminals. Moreover, and most importantly, the implementation time of a new floating terminal is much shorter as compared with a shore terminal. Floating solutions are also environmentally safe.

Bedeschi will supply to an important shipyard in Indonesia a new floating terminal with a 2,500 tonnes per hour capacity handling coal from two loaded barges to a big OGV, up to Capesize. The new terminal is planned to operate in the Far East. The company will supply two receiving hoppers, two belt feeders, one belt conveyor system complete with transfer towers, one slewing and luffing shiploader equipped with a trimming chute, and a full control system.

Bedeschi closed the deal thanks to the support of its new subsidiary Bedeschi Far East, which was able to assist the client with its specific requirements. Bedeschi Far East has a strategic key-role in the support and assistance of clients, and is constantly increasing in that area.
