BULK CARRIER TRADE & FLEET OUTLOOK

Weaker growth in soya trade

C

ommodity imports are still being solidly supported in many countries but there are variations.

The global seaborne dry bulk trade upturn continues to progress and, after recovering this year potential for further growth next year is evident.

Optimism about the world economy’s sustained recovery from last year’s slump is an essential ingredient reinforcing the outlook for dry bulk trade.

The OECD organization’s revised forecasts point to world gross domestic product growing by 5.7% in 2021 and 4.5% in 2022. Uncertainties persist, however, especially surrounding how the pandemic will be controlled, while inflationary pressures have become more prominent.

GRAIN &

SOYA

A positive outlook is brightened by some expectations for trade in grain and soya during the next twelve months. The latest US Department of Agriculture forecasts for trade year 2021/22 now starting suggest that global trade in wheat, corn and other coarse grains, plus soyabeans and meal could increase by 20mt (million tonnes) or 3.0%, reaching 685.1mt. In the year which has just ended, 3.6% growth is estimated.

Predictions for soyabeans and meal are included in table 1, showing the main importing countries. World trade is expected to grow at about 2% in 2021/22, to 236mt, after an estimated similar rate in the past twelve months.

This segment is dominated by China’s imports, which could edge upwards to exceed 100mt while in other Asian countries and elsewhere large additional purchases are envisaged.

COAL More signs of a global coal trade revival this year have been emerging.

Nevertheless, the annual import demand boost widely foreseen in 2021 seems unlikely to fully reverse the huge downturn seen last year. Looking further ahead, predictions of a positive trend persisting are not convincing, given the shift towards cleaner energy sources in many countries.

Yet short term favourable influences seem to have been reinforced recently.

A broad energy consumption revival this year has benefited coal usage, assisting world seaborne coal trade to grow by perhaps around 5% after a decline of about a tenth to below 1200mt in 2020.

In the past few weeks prospects for extra consumption, at least in the immediate future, have improved because of tightness in the international market for natural gas, which has improved the competitiveness of coal.

IRON

ORE

Steel production in the principal raw materials importing countries this year has been running at much higher levels than seen in the same period of last year, typically resulting in enlarged imports of iron ore and coking coal. The main

exception has been China, where iron ore imports (comprising three-quarters of world trade in this commodity) during the first eight months of 2021 were 2% down, at 746mt.

The latest World Steel Association data shows how strengthening economic activity has benefited steel mills. In the January–August 2021 period crude steel production in India was 26% higher than seen in the same months a year ago, at 77.7mt. The same comparison shows a 21% expansion within the European Union (27 members), to 102.1mt, a 17% increase in Japan to 64.0mt, a 8.4% rise in South Korea to 47.5mt, and 5.3% growth in China to 733.0mt.

MINOR

BULKS

World trade in bauxite/alumina is one of the minor bulks experiencing added support this year. Contrasting with changes in other minor commodity volumes the 2020 total also increased, to about 175mt, and the current year could see growth of 3–4% based on some estimates. China’s rising bauxite imports are the main reason.

BULK

CARRIER FLEET

About a quarter of the world bulk carrier fleet’s capacity is comprised of Panamax ships in the 65–99,999 deadweight tonnes size group. As shown in table 2, the panamax segment grew by just over 5% last year, which could be followed by 3.5% growth in 2021, mainly resulting from reduced newbuilding deliveries.

A pickup in Europe’s coal imports

Richard Scott, Bulk Shipping Analysis After a weakening trend in the past three years, annual coal imports into Europe seem set to strengthen in 2021, before possibly flattening out or decreasing again next year. But the revival from a pandemicrelated huge decline in 2020 is likely to be only a partial reversal. Longer term downwards pressures, reflecting environmental influences, eventually will resume dominance.

Although European countries’ imports

are now well below those seen a few years ago, the total volume remains a sizeable part of the world coal market. This feature results in numerous cargoes for bulk carriers of varying capacities, accompanied by activity at many bulk commodity handling ports throughout the region, both in northern Europe and the Mediterranean.

During 2020 imports into the European Union plus United Kingdom comprised about 6% of global seaborne coal trade.

The largest proportion received comprises steam coal, used mainly in power stations, contributing about three-fifths. Coking coal for steel industry use contributes the remainder. Adverse influences in both categories were accentuated last year by the effects of coronavirus pandemic control measures, which greatly reduced demand for the products of all industries consuming coal.

European coal importer, as shown in the table, forming two-fifths of the regional volume. Other major individual buyers are France, Italy and Netherlands, together comprising over a quarter. The United Kingdom was a top buyer until 2015 but is now a minor player, resulting from closure of most coal-fired power stations amid a shift towards renewable energy supplies.

STRONGER SUPPORT Broad economic trends influencing energy usage in Europe affect coal consumption and imports, but government policy pressure in recent years often have been more prominent.

Currently, macroeconomic aspects are at the forefront, because the European economy is recovering from the effects of government measures introduced to control the pandemic. The resulting abrupt and unforeseen slump in economic activity has receded, allowing a recovery to unfold.

Gross domestic product in the Eurozone group of countries could record a vigorous increase during 2021 as a whole, according to the latest world economy outlook published by the OECD organization in late September. An annual +5.3% upturn is forecast this year, compared with a fall of –6.5% in the previous twelve months.

Revival could continue next year. But forecasts remain tentative because the health crisis has not yet ended and Covid variants are still circulating, with potential for economic growth to be restrained if further control measures prove necessary.

Among other uncertainties, inflation has become more visible and could have implications for government economic support over the twelve months ahead.

OECD economists point to future higher investment spending in Europe,

assisted by the Next Generation EU funds as an important factor likely to aid recovery next year. Investment spending often benefits demand for the products of industries using energy, with some potential advantages for coal consumed either directly or indirectly.

Last year’s downturn into deep recession had a large adverse impact on overall energy usage and on coal consumption. In the steam coal segment, lower power use by industries experiencing reduced demand for their products affected electricity output and, in some countries, generation by coal-fired power plants. In the coking coal segment, much diminished steel production had a noticeable impact. Recoveries are now progressing.

COAL IMPORT PATTERNS In 2020 coal imports into the European Union plus UK continued declining, but with a much larger volume and percentage reduction than seen in the preceding year.

All the major importing countries recorded decreases last year. The pattern this year is showing distinct signs of partial reversals in many individual European

countries. However, indications mostly point to a downwards longer term trend resuming either next year or later.

Imports of coal by sea into the EU+UK last year totalled 67mt (million tonnes), a decline of 42mt or 39% compared with the previous year, based on Clarksons Research data and Bulk Shipping Analysis calculations, summarized in the table. Huge reductions were seen in most countries.

This 2020 weakening followed a 21% fall in the total to 109mt during the previous year.

Within the coking coal segment European imports were relatively stable up to last year. The volume plummeted to just over 26mt in 2020, about 31% lower. In the larger steam coal component a bigger fall of 31mt or over two-fifths, to 41mt was seen. Coking coal is an essential ingredient of steel produced by the blast furnace/pig iron process. Steam coal, especially the volumes used by power stations, is vulnerable to substitution by other fuels or renewable energy.

Annual EU+UK coal imports are now a much diminished proportion of the world total at 6% or so, compared with about 13% of global seaborne trade five years ago.

This region is by far the weakest performer among the world’s major importers, mainly as a result of tougher European environmental policies than seen elsewhere.

The largest coal buyer among individual European importers is still Germany, even though its annual volume has almost halved over the past five years. In 2016, seaborne steam and coking coal received by German power stations, steel mills and other users totalled 52mt, comprising 36% of the EU+UK quantity. After a cumulative decline of 25mt, to 26.7mt in 2020, Germany retained the biggest percentage share of the overall volume, at 40%.

In Italy another notable decline was seen over the past five years, as the table shows, from 17.4mt in 2016 to 7.5mt in

TRADE & COMMODITIES

2020, a 57% reduction. A steep fall was also seen in Spain’s steam coal imports from 11.4mt to just under 2mt, a 83% reduction.

The Netherlands saw a 70% fall from 14.2mt to 4.2mt, while in France there was a 43% decline from 12.2mt, to 7.0mt.

Annual coal imports in the table category labelled ‘other EU+UK’ fell by 47% during the 2016 to 2020 period, down to 19.6mt. One component of this group, UK imports, had diminished by the end of the period to 3.6mt of which coking coal for steel mills comprised three-fifths.

Extensive UK coal-fired power station closures accompanying a rapid shift towards alternative fuels and renewable energy supplies, especially wind-generated electricity, reduced steam coal imports to only 1.5mt, from 40mt seven years earlier.

Turkey, as a geographical extension of the European area, is also a significant coal importer, receiving large annual volumes exceeding 25mt in recent years. The 2020 total was 25.7mt, a 3% increase from the previous twelve months. Steam coal mainly for power station use is the chief component, comprising nearly four-fifths.

PREVAILING INFLUENCES

DCi 8

A general explanation for reductions in European coal usage and imports in recent years is that numerous coal-fired power plants have been closed or idled, or utilization declined. This trend has been attributed by Euracoal, the European Association for Coal and Lignite, to high levels of Emissions Trading System carbon prices which effectively rendered coal uncompetitive against other energy sources.

Weakening steam coal consumption was exacerbated last year by the adverse effects of the Covid pandemic on overall power demand.

Another influence, changes in domestic coal production volumes within Europe, now has only a limited impact on import demand because this output is relatively small. Extensive closures of uneconomic mines in recent years have been a feature.

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.

According to Euracoal figures, in 2020 Germany produced 107mt of lignite but hard coal production was nil. Poland’s output was 46mt lignite plus 54mt hard coal. There was also 1.7mt of UK hard coal output from remaining small mines.

Elsewhere among importing countries domestic production was insignificant.

As a consequence, changes in the coal

consumption trend have become the principal influence affecting European countries’ purchases on the international market. Steel mills’ consumption of, and import demand for, coking coal remained fairly flat until the downturn last year, broadly reflecting steel production progress. In the steam coal segment, energy market developments driven by government policy decisions are now the biggest influence on coal use and imports, although the Covid pandemic disrupted this pattern.

Electricity generation from coal in the European Union during the first half of 2021 was 16% lower than pre-pandemic (first half 2019) levels according to calculations by independent climate think tank Ember. Coal burning contributed 14% of all electricity generation, two percentage points below the pre-pandemic proportion.

These decreases happened despite power demand almost fully recovering from its pandemic affected downturn. Comparing the same periods, renewables — wind, solar, hydro and biofuels — generation was 11% higher.

These recent changes further emphasize the trend direction of changing circumstances and the downwards pressures on coal use in power stations. A severe economic recession in Europe during 2020 clearly distorted energy usage patterns, including coal consumption. But the apparent return to more normal conditions has not restored coal’s contribution and there is evidence of continued weakening resulting from the shift towards cleaner energy supplies.

POLICY IMPERATIVES Promoting cleaner energy resources is a long-established environmental policy priority of the European Union. Reducing air pollution, and cutting greenhouse gas emissions by decarbonizing energyconsuming activities is the main aim. As a major aspect, coal-fired power stations,

especially large-scale plants, were targeted and phased-out. Substitution with gas-fired units and, during recent years, a more intense focus on renewable energy with wind power generation becoming a central feature has been evident.

Consequently coal now has a low share of electricity generation within the EU, contributing only one-seventh.

The remainder consists of natural gas and nuclear generation, accompanied by the rapidly expanding renewables sector, including hydro-electric power supplies, wind generation and input from solar power. According to Ember’s calculations clean electricity provided two-thirds of EU power supplies in the first six months of this year. But the renewables contribution varies and is not entirely reliable, as it is dependent upon weather conditions over which there is no control. So ‘baseload’ generation is still needed, although coal is being eliminated.

Policy measures agreed by European Union member countries — the Emissions Trading Scheme, air pollution directives and renewable energy targets — affect how much coal is used. The prime driver has been a focus on sustainability, mitigating climate change in particular. Also, more attention has been given to other aspects such as energy security and industrial competitiveness. The EU still has many import-dependent coal-fired plants operating despite power sector decarbonization remaining a priority, which probably ensures a substantial albeit declining steam coal market in the next few years.

European countries have revealed plans to cease 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, reflecting commercial influences, has aided this process. Enhanced wind and solar power efficiency and often lower costs have altered the economics of and perceptions for future alternative energy supplies. Nevertheless, in a number of countries, closing coal-fired power stations is still a major task and a longerterm process. Switching to other energy sources on the scale required to replace all coal-fired capacity could take many years.

BUOYANT SHORT TERM OUTLOOK Amid the revival of economic activity after the pandemic, stimulating rising demand for the products of coal-consuming industries — electricity generation and steel production in particular — mounting signs of a pickup in European coal imports this year have been emerging. Although the ongoing pace of recovery in coal consumption is not altogether clear, seaborne coal imports into the EU+UK area during 2021 as a whole could increase by 20–30% from last year’s volume.

Another aspect coming to the forefront recently has been much higher prices in the

world market for natural gas, a leading input for power generation as well as other uses in many European countries.

Combined with underperforming renewables generation (emphasizing the intermittent nature of such energy), increased gas prices reinforced the competitiveness of coal in countries which still have coal-fired generation capacity available and are able to switch energy sources, providing a short-term boost.

Estimates for Europe’s coal imports next year are largely speculative because of the difficulty of predicting how the pandemic economic recovery will unfold.

The OECD’s economists suggest vigorous 4.5% GDP growth in the Eurozone may be achievable in 2022. Stronger industrial

activity could support, in particular, steel production and coking coal consumption.

But it seems unlikely that an upwards European coal imports trend will be sustained over an extended period.

Restraining environmental pressures on coal use suggest that it is much more likely that a flattening of the imports trend will occur or perhaps a resumed weakening.

Recently Germany’s importers’ group VDKi published an estimate pointing to substantial growth in 2021. Imports of hard coal, mostly comprising seaborne movements, were predicted to rise by 10–13% this year. Calculations by other analysts indicate a faster upturn, for example the estimate shown in the table which points to potential for a 20% increase.

Among other individual European coal importing countries varying degrees of positive influences are visible. Some annual percentage expansion rates in 2021 could be high. But the total of all European countries’ increases may restore only around one-third of the reduction in volume experienced last year.

This calculation emphasizes the scale of adverse longer-term pressures affecting coal in the region.

A long-term vision with the latest premium antifouling coating technologies Chugoku Marine Paints (CMP) was formed in 1917 in Hiroshima Japan. Since then, it has become acknowledged worldwide for developing and providing innovative marine coatings solutions for oceangoing ships around the world.

In 2015, CMP became the world’s first company to launch a coating including the active antifouling technology, Selektope®, developed by I-Tech AB. Since then, more than 700 oceangoing ships in both newbuilding and drydocking repair have been applied by Selektope-containing antifouling coatings provided by CMP. Many of these ships are coming back to dockyards with excellent hull performance results after long term operations.

There is an increased demand from shipowners and charterers for highperformance antifouling coatings to maintain a clean hull during operations and to avoid underwater cleaning. In the past, most requests for high-performance antifouling coatings have been received when a vessel was predicted to operate under high fouling pressure such as, moving in slow speeds and with expected long idling periods.

Today, vessels with all types of operational patterns choose to apply a premium coating. CMP can see that initiatives for carbon reduction and vessel efficiency in shipping has had an effect on the demand for premium antifouling coatings.

During this year, CMP has seen an increase of 20% in the demand for highperformance antifouling coatings compared to 2020. This increase could relate to the

forthcoming new IMO regulation of EEXI and CII entering into force from January 2023, and the biofouling management guidelines based on MEPC. 207(62) 2011 supporting the environmental targets in shipping.

Meeting the demands, CMP offers a product portfolio including a range of premium antifouling solutions that will improve hull performance with high efficiency compared to existing antifouling coatings in the maritime industry.

SEAFLO NEO CF PREMIUM uses an innovative technology crosslinking zinc acrylate polymer with active agent Selektope®. This high-performance coating emerges from CMP’s developments and has

been widely used for various types of ships as one of the premium products in worldwide operations.

SEAFLO NEO M1 PLUS is the latest premium antifouling coating which incorporates Selektope® and was released in June 2021. The coating is highly efficient against hard biofouling, even in high-risk fouling areas and during long outfitting periods for newbuilding projects.

Throughout premium antifouling solutions, it is CMP ́ s ambition to provide high-performing and innovative coatings that will contribute to improving fuel efficiency of ships, leading to less fuel consumption and CO2 emissions in a longterm vision.

CP honours shippers with exemplary safety behaviour Canadian Pacific (CP) is honoured to recognize 51 shippers with its annual Safe Shipper Award for safely transporting hazardous materials by rail in 2020.

“Safety is a core foundation underlying everything we do at CP. Operating safely requires constant vigilance from all participants in the supply chain,” said Coby Bullard, Vice-President Marketing and Sales, Energy, Merchandise, Intermodal and Automotive. “CP's customers play a critical role in safely shipping essential products on our rail network. Encouraging and re-warding safe behaviour across every aspect of our business helps to protect our employees and our communities. We are proud to serve customers who share our commitment to operating safely.”

Companies receiving the Safe Shipper Award transported at least 500 car-loads of hazardous materials (non-intermodal) in 2020 with zero non-accidental release (NAR) incidents. A hazardous materials NAR is the unintentional release of a hazardous material while in railroad possession that is not caused by a derailment, collision or other rail-related accident.

Van den Bosch acquires TCS Trans in Barcelona Van den Bosch has acquired transport company TCS Trans in Barcelona as of 4 October 2021. TCS Trans is a pioneer in intermodal transport in Spain, with a focus on dry bulk for the petrochemical industry. “Spain is a growth market with a lot of potential. With this acquisition, we are taking the next step in developing our intermodal network in southern Europe,” says Rico Daandels, CEO of Van den Bosch.

TCS Trans is an established name in Spain. It was founded in 1958 by the Castellet San Miguel family and was one of the first Spanish companies to use intermodal transport. The core activity involves the transport of dry bulk, such as PVC powder and granulate, for the petrochemical industry. The company is also active in the bulk transport of liquids and gases. From its office in Barcelona, TCS mainly serves the Spanish and Italian markets, and invests in the development of the intermodal network. The company owns 50% of Multirail, a major private rail operator in Spain. It also has a share in the Iberian intermodal transport company Combiberia.

POTENTIAL With the acquisition of TCS Trans, Van den Bosch is committed to further development of the intermodal network in Southern Europe. CEO Rico Daandels: “As a logistics service provider, we have gained a strong position in European logistics. With the acquisition of TCS, we are taking the next step in developing our intermodal network.

We have been investing significantly in the Spanish market in recent years, as the demand for intermodal bulk transport is increasing and offers a lot of potential. We will now also have a physical presence and will be pooling our strengths.

From Barcelona, we will now be offering solutions for both dry and liquid bulk for the food and chemical industry.”

Retrofitting an ageing fire protection system with Marioff HI-FOG water mist system Many fleet owners are considering alternatives to ageing gas-based fire protection systems. A highpressure water mist system is safe for people and provides business continuity and can be easily retrofitted to vessels with an ageing suppression system onboard.

Gas-based fire protection systems often use Halon (1301) or CO2, which can be hazardous to the environment and people.

Due to strong ozone depletion potential, the production of Halon has been phased out. Other gas-based systems also have some operational disadvantages. If there is a fire onboard a vessel, people must first be safely evacuated, and protected space must be sealed before the gas-based system can be released. Additionally, gas-based systems do not cool down the space and surfaces, leaving risk for re-ignition. This results in time loss and increased downtime for repair and recharging the systems.

There is still a large global fleet of aging vessels that have various types of suppression systems on board. Lack of maintenance support and guidelines, and unavailable replacement parts for these systems put increased pressure on fleet owners and managers to find a sustainable solution that increases safety and reduces risk of downtime.

RETROFITTING A HIGH-PRESSURE WATER MIST SYSTEM

Retrofit projects include the removal of the existing system, classification and statutory approvals, OEM certified material delivery, a high-pressure water mist fire protection system installation and commissioning. Marioff experts design and deliver these turnkey retrofit projects from beginning to end.

The high-pressure water mist fire protection system Marioff HI-FOG® MT4 is the most feasible total flooding

retrofit for traditional firefighting systems such as Halon, CO2, foam and inert gases. The system has been successfully tested against the latest IMO fire test requirements, as defined in MSC/Circ. 1165, and is type-approved by all major classification societies. The HIFOG MT4 retrofit system uses plain water mist, which is safe for people and the environment. The system can be activated instantly when a fire is detected, without needing to evacuate personnel, seal the space or close the ventilation. The firefighting time is extended by using two water sources, fresh water as a primary source and sea/lake water as a secondary source.

Once the fire is under control or suppressed, the HI-FOG system can be reset, and is again ready to protect the vessel and crew. There is no need to divert to a port for recharging the system, as it uses plain water rather than compressed gas. Similarly, if the alarm turns out to be false, the system can simply be reset, and is then ready for use again.

Thanks to non-hazardous extinguishing agent, plain water, the system can be tested regularly to ensure it is in good working condition and for training purposes.

The HI-FOG MT4 system is a simple and robust fire protection solution. No

pressure cylinders are required for redundancy or other purposes. The system has been designed to provide both total flooding and local application (IMO MSC/Circ. 913), using the same pump unit, tubing and strategically installed spray heads.

Using one integrated system saves component, installation, maintenance and training costs.

After commissioning, Marioff lifecycle services take over with global support and training that provide the skills needed to ensure the safety and efficiency of the water mist system. They help to keep the water mist system operational, upgraded and fully certified throughout its entire lifetime.

ABOUT MARIOFF Marioff is a respected developer and innovator of high-pressure water mist fire protection, providing solutions worldwide under the HI-FOG brand.

HI-FOG safely controls and suppresses fire using significantly less water than conventional sprinkler systems, reducing water damage, cleanup time and operational downtime.

INTERCARGO: time to recognize the value of the dry bulk sector As news headlines underscore the quality and flexibility of the bulk sector fleet in meeting the challenges of current trade disruptions, Dimitris Fafalios, Chairman of INTERCARGO believes that now is the time to re-evaluate the image of the bulk carrier sector and recognize the commitment of INTERCARGO members to a safe, efficient, high quality and environmentally sound dry bulk shipping industry.

Bulk carriers employ hundreds of thousands of seafarers and carry more cargo deadweight to more diverse ports than any other shipping sector. They deliver essential goods even to the most isolated and distant ports and adapt their tramp trading patterns as demand dictates.

Speaking at the organization’s semiannual meetings in London in early October, Fafalios highlighted the importance of seafarers in the supply chain, and the role that they play in easing the strain on world trade. “This is a complex global issue but there is no doubt that we are relying on properly vaccinated, mentally and physically fit seafarers to contribute to the solution.

“Universal commitments for collective action are imperative to resolve the seafarers’ humanitarian crisis and to keep global trade moving,” Fafalios said. “Co-

ordinating a worldwide vaccination programme for seafarers is an urgent priority.

While the efforts of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and global maritime bodies must permeate every area of the shipping industry, urgent action outside the maritime sphere is needed by government leaders at the highest level, ultimately leading to the recognition of seafarers as key workers.

We must hope that the global press coverage that we are seeing will facilitate that.”

INTERCARGO’s Annual General Meeting, Executive Committee and Technical Committee met both virtually and in person in London over two days, with the meetings presided over by Chairman Dimitris Fafalios, Vice Chairman Spyros Tarasis,Vice Chairman Uttam Kumar Jaiswal, and Technical Committee Chairman Tom Keenan.

Top of the agenda was the need to urgently resolve the humanitarian crisis faced by seafarers under Covid-19. Issues debated also included initiatives for the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the ESG agenda; the implementation progress of DryBMS as the quality standard for the dry bulk sector; the safe carriage of cargoes; bulk carrier design standards; the investigation of bulk carrier

casualties; ballast water management; implications of the sulphur limit on fuels; and piracy threats.

INTERCARGO also presented its 2020/2021 Annual Review to the membership. Following a doubling of the Association’s membership during 2016–2019, the last 18 months has seen membership stabilized at historic high levels.

In order to express its appreciation to all members for their continued support and especially those who, under the current circumstances, were unable to enjoy the networking opportunities afforded by face-to-face meetings, the Association has also created a special electronic compilation of promotional material from its members, which is available on a dedicated webpage.

Secretary General Kostas G. Gkonis said, “INTERCARGO’s badge of quality is widely recognized by the industry. We thank our members — comprising more than 220 forward thinking companies from across 30 different countries — for their continued support of our Association’s collective efforts for the benefit of our sector and in the service of societies at large.”

The Association will hold its next semiannual meetings in March 2022.

The Multipurpose Industrial Terminal of San Pedro (TIPSP) in Côte d’Ivoire is the latest project to be implemented by Arise Ports & Logistics. San Pedro, located only 350km from Abidjan, has played a central role in the economic development of Côte d’Ivoire in recent years. In collaboration with the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire and S.

The Government of Côte d’Ivoire is developing its industrial strategy around national plans that aim to attract domestic and foreign private investment. For this, the country is striving to create a competitive and attractive business environment. In view of the country’s increasing trade volumes, it had become imperative to remedy the congestion problems that had been observed within

www.drycargomag.com

Over the past 50 years, several regional and continental initiatives such as the TransAfrican Highways (TAH) and the SubSaharan Africa Transport Policy Programme have been implemented to improve connectivity on the continent.

Considerable progress has been made, but there is still a lot of work to be done to

provide efficient transport and trade infrastructure networks.

Governments and donors alone do not have the budgetary capacity to remove these obstacles. Indeed, the African Development Bank estimates that Africa’s infrastructure financing needs could reach about $170 billion per year by 2025, with financing gaps of up to $68–108 billion per year. In light of this, it is clear that the solution to Africa’s infrastructure deficit requires the mobilization of private capital. Increasingly, governments around the world (including state and local governments in the United States) are actually turning to the private sector for some, or all of, the five basic elements of infrastructure

the port of Abidjan.

After a year and a half, we are on the verge of completing the first of two project phases. The terminal is now equipped with a vast storage area and a 270-metre quay with a 15-metre draught specifically for Panamax vessels. We have also equipped the site with cutting-edge cargo handling equipment which will allow for fast loading and unloading operations of various solid and liquid bulk traffics such as ores (manganese, nickel, lithium), cement products, fertilizers, hydrocarbon, palm oil products etc.

The second phase of construction will consist of a quay of 230m long, 14m draught and a fully mechanized export cargo handling system with reclaimer, conveyor belts and shiploaders so as to

offer our customers load rates that are probably among the highest in West Africa.

The Multipurpose Industrial Terminal of San Pedro (TIPSP) reunites all the conditions to effectively transform trade in the region and strengthen Côte d’Ivoire’s position as a transport hub in West Africa. The terminal will be the new gateway for bulk cargo moving into and from the neighbouring

landlocked countries of Mali and Burkina Faso as much as from the Eastern regions of Liberia and Guinea.

The uniqueness and strength of the Arise Ports & Logistics business model lies in its deep understanding of every African market where it operates and the strong conviction to create value, whether it’s job creation, enabling trade or transferring knowledge and skills to the local workforce. This understanding is crucial to develop tailor-made infrastructures that allow host countries to trade more within and outside their borders. In this context, public–private partnerships, such as the one set up in San Pedro, are ultimately winwin hybrid solutions.

The Government of Côte d’Ivoire is leading this transformation, building roads (like the coastal road between Abidjan and San Pedro or the Mali corridor) and developing other crucial infrastructure with the support of the private sector to attract new domestic and foreign investments in the country.

Investing in innovation to drive industry sustainability

DCi 20

As we approach the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Scotland, UK, shipping has become a ‘hot topic’, with many opinion leaders zeroing in on the industry as a vital target for decarbonization given the sector’s importance for both global trade and its impact on the climate, writes Francesca Bonsignore, Corporate Development Manager, Rocktree.

For many years, shipping has been perceived to operate ‘under the radar’, as a silent polluter, but no longer. Pressure is now on every element of the shipping supply chain to transform and improve sustainability — from the first to the last mile. The dry bulk transshipment and logistics market is no different.

Transparency and access to data is at the heart of developing the pathway to sustainability. There must be a baseline from which to operate in terms of determining current emissions output, in conjunction with actively monitoring and analysing the performance of operations to generate insights, from which the best decisions can be made to improve efficiencies.

However, within this specialized dry bulk transshipment market, there are no specific mandatory requirements by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) or the European Union (EU) to include offshore floating terminals (OFTs) within IMO DCS (Data Collection System) or EU MRV (Monitoring Reporting and Verification) regulations. This is despite the

fact that an OFT can emit circa 3,000 to 10,000 tonnes of CO2 every year. The onus and responsibility are therefore very much on individual operators, and as a logistics solutions provider, it is something that we take very seriously.

This is why Rocktree has recently engaged with the leading classification society, RINA, to develop a management system to monitor the air emissions of the Rocktree fleet, validating and submitting to RINA the relevant data of our OFTs for verification. This will create the important baseline from which our sustainability strategy can be driven and measured. RINA will verify that Rocktree procedures are designed to improve the efficiency of the fleet and will validate yearly units’ CO2 emissions.

“Mara”, Panamax size transshipment vessel.

Secondly, there must be an understanding of the principle that efficiency gains and improving processes within operations is a key component in driving sustainability, as well as delivering a stronger commercial performance and competitive advantage. This requires a constant monitoring of the performance and condition of assets, and a real time visibility to provide data and insights so that informed and optimal decisions can be made to maintain and streamline operations, increase efficiencies, and reduce running costs as well as emissions.

To deliver this, Rocktree is establishing a Remote Operations and Technology Centre (ROTC) in Singapore to automate our data and performance metric collection processes in order to

understand the performance of our vessels better. To achieve this, it is critical that we collaborate with the right experts in the industry, which is why we are partnering with a number of leading companies across key areas that define the new ROTC. Firstly, the ROTC will utilize Kongsberg’s Kognifai Maritime Ecosystem to facilitate the capture and aggregation of data from our vessels in an efficient and secure way. Liebherr is also being brought on board to implement its LiDAT Liebherr Data Transmission and Positioning System, enabling the online collection of machine data and the supervision of cargo operations to report on machine usage and their condition. The ROTC will also include oil condition monitoring sensors (from Leo Maritime) to enable real time and accurate analysis. By increasing fuel efficiency, reducing the downtime and repair costs of machinery, and reducing waste oil, we can further improve the safety and sustainability of our operations.

We will also use a custom-designed Real Time Fuel Monitoring Solution, incorporating Coriolis Fuel flow meters for each source of emission. The system is designed to have a robust and reliable fuel management control in place to accurately measure, monitor and report fuel consumption during their day-to-day operation, as well as refuelling operations.

Finally, improving the efficiencies on how we manage employees’ time is also an important aspect of the ROTC, and we will look at how we can reduce the need for HQ staff to physically travel to the vessels to perform maintenance and supervisory jobs. This is where modern technology has

a significant role to play, and we will be utilizing HoloLens — the mixed augmented reality smart glasses, which use multiple sensors, advanced optics and holographic processing to display information and simulate a virtual world of vessel machinery for shore-based staff.

The anticipated net benefits of the Rocktree ROTC are clear. By creating a transparent and data-rich environment whereby vessel operations can be constantly monitored and analysed, we can ensure that our assets are continually performing at their peak efficiency. Not only will this reduce fuel consumption and associated costs and emissions, it also has the potential to increase the amount of cargo volume that is handled, and further improve loading performance for the benefit of our customers.

It is very clear that the shipping industry is at a point of rapid transformation, and under significant pressure to focus on sustainability and improve its impact on the environment. There will be many in the industry who view this roadmap to decarbonization as an irritating distraction from ‘the day job’, and yet another forced

investment. Given the hardships and volatility within the market this may be an understandable sentiment. However, it is also clear that investment in innovation as a means of driving productivity, enhancing operational performance, as well as improving sustainability, is a route to not only a better environment, but also commercial gain and a better business as well. That is truly a win/win scenario that all organizations should look to seize in order to reap the benefits of a market in transition.

Hagland orders environmental friendly newbuilds

DCi 24

Earlier this year, Royal Bodewes entered into a contract with Norwegian ship owner Hagland Shipping for the construction of two self-discharging bulk carriers of 5,000dwt.

This contract emphasizes zero emissions at harbor and substantial reduction of emissions during sailing.

Hagland and Bodewes aim to achieve greener short sea shipping through reduced local and global greenhouse gases and reduced noise. The vessels will replace older vessels with traditional propulsion systems with a modern, optimized vessel with plug-in battery hybrid solution that satisfies IMO TIER III requirements.

Compared to Hagland’s existing fleet, the vessels are expected to reduce CO2 emission by more than 30% and NOx emissions by 90–95% from delivery. The vessels will also be prepared for zeroemission. The vessels are scheduled to be delivered during Q1 and Q2 in 2023 and sail under NIS flag (Norwegian International Ship registry). The total investment will be about NOK280 million.

Hagland Shipping has also secured options for two additional vessels to be built by Royal Bodewes. The newbuilding contracts have been entered into on the basis of substantial support from ENOVA, which has been instrumental for the realization of the project. ENOVA contributes with about NOK26.8 million for the first two vessels. In addition, financing will consist of a combination of equity and bank loan, and

the company has also received an offer for long term financing from Innovation Norway.

Hagland is proud to have reached a new milestone in its history. The investment in these new builds is a major step forward for the company and its transition to lowand zero-emission vessels. The new vessels represent the start of a renewal of the fleet that is also necessary in order to reach the ambitious climate goals set by the shipping industry.

ABOUT HAGLAND SHIPPING Hagland Shipping was established in 1983 and operates 14 self-discharging dry bulk vessels, trading mainly in Northern Europe.

The company is now retrofitting its existing vessel Hagland Captain, which will be the world’s first battery hybrid vessel in this market segment, a project that is carried out in co-operation with Norwegian company NOAH. The new

vessels now ordered builds on the experiences from that project, and will once delivered be engaged in the company’s regular trading area, while also strengthening Hagland Shipping’s position in the self-discharger segment.

Hagland Shipping is among the leading operators of self-discharging bulk vessels in the 2,500–7,000dwt vessel segment, commonly referred to as short sea shipping. Hagland Shipping’s vessels are self-discharging bulk vessels in the 3,700–5,000dwt range and carries mainly stone and wood materials, as well as other bulk cargoes for a range of industrial companies.

The ship-owning activities of Hagland Shipping had a turnover of NOK382 million in 2020, while the Hagland group, which also is engaged in shipbroking, real estate, and accounting services, reached a total turnover of about NOK450 million.

‘Nukumi’ — the new Windsor Salt-CSL ship to service Eastern Canada with bulk deicing salt

During a ceremony held on 20 May 2021, at Chengxi Shipyard in China, vessel sponsor Elizabeth (Betsey) Nohe gave the virtual signal to name and launch Nukumi, the new state-of-the-art self-unloading ship under construction for Canada Steamship Lines (CSL) to serve long-term customer K+S Windsor Salt Ltd. (Windsor Salt).

Leveraging their shared values of safety, sustainability and innovation, Windsor Salt and CSL began construction of the custom-made vessel in August 2020 after several years of collaborative planning, which included an environmental impact analysis, ship and shore personnel safety reviews, an efficiency evaluation of cargo operations, and navigational optimization.

The distinctive 26,000dwt purposedesigned vessel was created to service Windsor Salt’s need to deliver deicing salt from its Mines Seleine salt mine on the Magdalen Islands to stockpiles in Montreal, Quebec City, and other destinations within the provinces of Quebec and Newfoundland. Windsor Salt’s consistent and timely delivery of deicing salt helps keep roadways safe during the winter season across Eastern Canada.

The new vessel will bring a long-term, safe, sustainable and reliable shipping solution to the region that relies on the Mines Seleine salt mine.

“Through our partnership with CSL, we wanted to prove not only that we could —

but we should strive for better — because it’s important to challenge the status quo, especially when we have the opportunity to reduce our environmental impact and improve safety while delivering the deicing salt Canadians know and trust,” said Tom Labash, Marine Distribution Manager for Windsor Salt.

MORE SUSTAINABLE MARINE TRANSPORTATION

Given the shipping route is located in the sensitive marine environment of the Magdalen Islands in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Windsor Salt and CSL worked together to bring several innovations to enhance sustainability and reduce the environmental footprint of the new ship, including: v Diesel-electric tier 3 engines and a unique hull design that will contribute to cutting CO2 emissions and improve energy efficiency; v A ballast water treatment system that is expected to reduce the transfer of invasive species; v Quieter machinery that will reduce vessel noise to protect the area’s North Atlantic right whales and other marine mammals. v Compared to the previous vessel servicing the same salt routes, the new ship is expected to emit approximately 25% less greenhouse gas emissions and 80% fewer harmful air pollutants.

SAFER AND MORE EFFICIENT SHIPPING The new ship also features several innovations to enhance efficiency and safety including: v A fixed, single point of loading system with a single hopper into which the salt is loaded, combined with a cargo handling system that eliminates the need for the vessel to shift during loading, which will improve the efficiency of cargo operations and the safety of ship and shore personnel. v A modern hull design and state-of-theart propulsion system to enhance the manoeuvrability of the vessel and increase the safety of navigation in the shallow Magdalen Island channel.

“We are honoured to be joining forces with our long-time customer Windsor Salt — a visionary partner willing to make concrete commitments to integrate sustainable and safety-first choices into their supply chain,” said Louis Martel, President and CEO, The CSL Group. “CSL is very excited about leading the design and construction of this pioneering ship for our customer and introducing a new level of safety and environmental sustainability in Canadian waters.”

The keel laying ceremony for the newbuild was held at Chengxi Shipyard in Jiangyin, China, on 29 January 2021. The vessel is expected to commence operations in the Magdalen Islands at the start of the 2022 navigation season.

At Loko Creek Logistics, a point that we highlight very early in the partnership process with our mining clients is that marine logistics is a critical component for bulk commodities, writes Loko Creek Logistics.

On average, we estimate logistics to be at least 50% of the total operating costs for mining companies, and in certain instances, 50% of the CIF value of the commodity.

Unfortunately, logistics happens to be the last item on most miner’s checklist. It requires a lot of skill and expertise and must be studied in depth early in the development phase in order to avoid the selection of inadequate solutions that can be the only differentiating factor between profit and loss.

The highly-specialized field of offshore transshipment perfectly illustrates this statement.

In the dry cargo sector, the worldwide increase in demand for bulk commodities has shown that the only path to success in this highly competitive environment is to reduce the freight element via economies of scale. One way to achieve it is to increase the shipment size — consequently a reduction in freight rates.

However, in most emerging markets where the majority of the bulk commodity mines are located, there is insufficient draft at the loading port to accommodate large Ocean Going Vessels (OGV).

To circumvent the draft restrictions, a barging and offshore transshipment solution is required. Special attention should be paid to the equipment selection in order to optimize costs (OPEX and mob/demob) and cargo handling capabilities. In this manner, the selection of the right barging solution is equally as important as the right transshipment tool.

In West Africa, Loko Creek Logistics is working with mining clients to provide the full range of barging-transshipment solutions. Being asset lite, we are not constrained by a captive asset portfolio and can best select the right tool for the right job.

In Guinea, Loko Creek Logistics contracted in early 2020 with the Indian mining company Ashapura Minechem for the restart of iron ore export in the southern corridor of the country along the border with Sierra Leone. With initial volumes of export projected at only two million tons for the first year, the selection of a cost-effective barging and transshipment solution was key to the success of the project.

Loko Creek had chosen a less conventional river coasters (i.e. 2,500 DWCC general cargo vessels) to perform the barging services instead of the more traditional dumb barge-tug configuration.

Whilst appearing more expensive on paper, a careful tradeoff analysis indicates that the improved productivity of the river coasters offsets the higher headline costs, resulting in a significantly improved dollarper-tonne rate. Furthermore, the closed hatch covers are extremely beneficial to maintaining an acceptable TML during the rainy season, which last for three to four months every year.

If one further considers the reduced OGV demurrage risks, it is apparent that the river coasters are the most ideal tools.

On the transshipment side, a similar tradeoff analysis can be performed. In this

instance, export volume (current and future) should be balanced against upfront costs (mob/demob), ongoing OPEX and material handling capabilities. For example, a bauxite miner starting with 3mtpa (million tonnes per annum) and exporting via Capesize OGVs, would be better off starting off with a set of floating cranes.

Reliability of performance, ability to handle sticky wet cargo and the smaller export quantity are key considerations. For these mid-tier/junior miners, we believe the main priority is to generate cashflow to quickly repay its investment and to fund future expansion projects.

quantities. Similarly, one should also factor in the potential OGV demurrage charges in the tradeoff analysis when looking to select the right transshipment tool.

Additionally, one should also consider the freight price differential between a capesize OGV vs. a geared supramax OGV. Said differently, the price differential is essentially the implied transshipment costs.

Being a highly volatile market, the freight price differential between capesize vs. supramax can be hedged and monetized by miners. Using the Guinea-China freight rates as an example, one can see multiple opportunities to lock in the implied transshipment rates at very favourable rates. A savvy miner will note that the ability to lock in a sub-$5 per tonne transshipment rate is a steal considering that no mob/demob fee will be incurred!

See chart right.

The West African coast with countries such as Sierra Leone, Ghana, Guinea and Cameroon are noted as countries with pipeline projects and other indicators pointing to a ramp up in demand for transshipment solutions, particularly for the export of bauxite and iron ore. The task of assigning the right assets to cope with new

demand in this region will be a complex prospect.

Mobilizing existing assets brings an established crew and quick deployment time, but a vessel may not be ideally suited to the requirements of a project, may need technical modifications, will have high mobilization costs and will need time out at some point for a special survey.

Newly built vessels could be designed specifically for a project and will have

longer timeframes until a technical survey, but they will come with a high CAPEX cost and long lead time until deployment.

So many variables for mining companies not to underestimate!

They should however rest at ease because Loko Creek Logistics has made all these questions its niche expertise and is ready to assist its partners from the early stages of project development all the way to the operations phase.

Teesport Bulks Terminal celebrates a year of operation

PORTS & TERMINALS

PD Ports, which owns and operates the UK’s Teesport, has recently celebrated the first anniversary of the opening of its Teesport Bulks Terminal. The facility, which entered service at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, marks an important revival in the handling of bulk cargo on

Teesside following the collapse of the local steelworks in 2015.

One year later, Teesport Bulks Terminal has helped boost bulk cargo throughput at the port by around 60%, with over two million tonnes handled in the first year, including two record breaking months.

After securing a third long-term deal to secure the remaining bay inside the 90,000m2 terminal, PD Ports is now to expand the facility even further. The aim is to make the River Tees the UK’s most successful port region by 2050.

Global dry bulk terminal leaders meet in Ras Al Khaimah v First Dry Bulk Terminals Group (DBTG) conference in region is a resounding success. v Delegates from over 40 international dry bulk terminals participate in DBTG. v Conference held as global bulk-carrier market conditions continue to strengthen.

Over three days in Ras Al Khaimah, senior leaders from the world’s dry bulk terminal industry met to discuss recent advances in bulk cargo handling technology, as well as the latest news, trends, and environmental, health and safety developments for 2022 and beyond. The hybrid event was held from 6–8 October in the conference facilities at the Doubletree by Hilton resort on Ras Al Khaimah’s Marjan Island, with most speakers appearing live and some streamed online from their home countries.

Hosted by RAK Ports and organized by Dry Bulk Terminals Group (DBTG), a globally operating not-for-profit industry association, the venue for the conference pays testament to the phenomenal growth of Saqr Port, a part of RAK Ports group, as the largest bulk port in the Middle East and, with 100 million tonnes annual capacity, today one of the largest and most advanced dry bulk ports in the world. Supported by rebounding economic and industrial activity, seaborne dry bulk trade is projected to grow by over 4% globally in

2021, to reach over 5.39 billion tonnes for the full year.

Roger Clasquin, RAK Ports Chief Executive Officer, said: ‘We are delighted to be able to welcome so many leaders from this global industry to Ras Al Khaimah.

RAK Ports continues to be a key driver in the economic growth of the emirate and acts as a gateway hub for the rest of the UAE. It is a pleasure to be able to showcase our expertise in dry bulk to such a distinguished international audience.”

The conference programme covered a broad range of topics across technical, safety, operational, and supply chain issues.

Sustainability was a core theme for discussion and the delegates reviewed how the world’s dry bulk ports are actively working to reduce CO2 emissions and to mitigate other forms of environmental impact, using a range of new technologies.

Speaking at the conference, Paul Goris, Executive Director of DBTG, said: “The Middle East region plays a critical role in the dry bulk terminals ecosystem, as a prime export hub for construction raw materials, phosphates, and fertilizers. We are delighted to be here in Ras Al Khaimah and to be able to experience at first hand some of the significant opportunities this region has to offer.”

Members of RAK Ports senior management team gave delegates a behindthe-scenes tour of the world-class dry bulk handling facilities at Saqr Port, which can service the world’s largest bulk carriers. They witnessed first-hand how recent investments of US$250 million and the latest German technology, enable up to 11,000 tonnes of dry bulk to be loaded across the port’s

deep-water berths every hour. Conference participants also visited Stevin Rock quarry; dined at the fabulous Waldorf Astoria Hotel; and even found time to visit Jebel Jais, the highest peak in the UAE, to experience the world’s longest zipline.

Port of Long Beach officials are applauding a multi-year federal study that shows deepening and widening channels in the harbour would lead to air pollution reductions, improved vessel navigation and national economic benefits of almost $21 million annually.

In mid-October, the Port of Long Beach Deep Draft Navigation Study was officially signed by the Chief of Engineers of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Lt. Gen. Scott A. Spellmon. The important milestone opens the way for projects identified in the study to compete for federal funding.

“The deepening and widening of these channels is of vital importance to the nation’s economy,” said Port of Long Beach Executive Director Mario Cordero. “Keep in mind, we are the nation's second-busiest port by container volume. Increasing the efficiency and speed that cargo is handled here has benefits to the whole supply chain reaching far beyond Southern California.”

“This study took a lot of hard work and dedication, and we thank the Army Corps of Engineers and all of the stakeholders who participated,” said Long Beach Harbor Commission President Steven Neal. “These projects would help move cargo faster and save transportation costs. We look forward to working with our federal partners to make them a reality.”

“This is an absolutely critical project for the port and for our supply chain system,” said U.S. Rep. Alan Lowenthal, who represents the area including the port. “The expansion of the navigation channels at the port will allow larger vessels to maneuver safely in the port and berth in areas previously unavailable. More berthing space means more efficient and quicker loading and unloading of cargo, thus increasing the capacity and efficiency of supply chains overall. This project will not just help the port, not just our communities by reducing emissions, not just our environment — but businesses and communities at every point along the supply chain system. I will work in Congress to make sure that the Deep Draft Navigation project moves forward without delay.”

Among other features, the study recommends deepening the Approach Channel from 76 feet to 80 feet, constructing an approach channel to Pier J South to a depth of 55 feet, deepening portions of the West Basin from 50 feet to 55 feet, and performing structural improvements to breakwaters at Pier J to allow for depths of 55 feet.

The Port of Long Beach is one of the world’s premier seaports, a gateway for transPacific trade and a trailblazer in goods movement and environmental stewardship. With 175 shipping lines connecting Long Beach to 217 seaports, the Port handles $200 billion in trade annually, supporting more than 575,000 Southern California jobs.

Rouen, Hamburg and Dunkerque are three of the largest dry bulk ports operating along the Hamburg–Le Havre range. Yet recent results posted by all three have been mixed, although Covid does not appear to have been the major factor behind traffic volumes at all ports.

In Rouen, first half dry bulk traffic was down, mostly due to the decline in cereal exports, which dropped 39%. Reduced French production in 2020 following a bumper 2019/2020 cereal handling season explains this drop, despite the good overall quality of the cereals. Nevertheless, over the first six months of 2021, the port of Rouen still exported 3.4mt (million tonnes) of cereals, which is a result that is within the ten-year average recorded by the port establishment.

Soft wheat represents the bulk of exports, although barley is on the increase accounting for 30% of the total tonnage.

According to operator HAROPA PORTS, China retains a strong presence in the market for both soft wheat and barley exports (used for both brewing and feed).

In addition, Rouen is characterized by

the handling of a wide variety of agricultural products, including malt, cocoa beans, oilseeds, pitch, beans, oilcake, and pulp, while in the first two quarters rapeseed imports were notably up to meet the demand of biofuel manufacturers.

Also of note is that, up to the end of June, the flow of aggregates transiting HAROPA PORT's river and sea terminals amounted to 1.15mt, equivalent to an increase of 39.1%. The sector is benefiting from construction work in the Greater Paris region as well as from the launch of construction sites for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games facilities.

Fertilizer traffic is reported down. The three-month production stoppage caused by maintenance at the Borealis plant in Grand-Quevillyas well as high prices explain this unfavourable situation.

In Rouen, coal and petroleum coke amounted to 75,000 tonnes for the period in question. This compares to 80,000 tonnes last year. On the whole of the Seine axis, coal traffic came to 127,000 tonnes, which was also down overall.

According to a spokesperson, “These

products will continue to decline in tonnage due to energy transition.

Conversely, biomass traffic (energy from burning wood) is continuing to position itself along the Seine axis.

The development of this sector is based on the needs of both industry and urban heating systems, which have switched to this product.”

In the same area, exports of wood chips to Sweden continued, with 12,000 tonnes made during the first six months of the year. Imported salt for snow removal totalled 42,000 tonnes. Attapulgite (clay) traffic remained stable at 25,000 tonnes, with the same trend seen in peat traffic.

The port of Rouen also has extensive scrap metal traffic, which is handled by GDE (Guy Dauphin Environnement). As with other raw materials, the price of scrap is rising significantly due to increased demand. In the first half, HAROPA PORT Rouen processed 112,134 tonnes of iron scrap and steel waste for export, compared to 98,856 tonnes at the end of June 2020, an increase of 13.4%.

In terms of infrastructure upgrades,

emissions. The Soufflet Group's investment in modernizing the terminal amounts to €10 million.

For its part, Sénalia has just launched the modernization of two cereal loading gantries at its E3 silo on the Elie peninsula terminal. The new handling equipment will reduce dust levels during the loading of cereals.

HAROPA PORT is continuing to make electricity supply available across its quays to supply river units. Equipment has been operational in Paris, Rouen and Le Havre since 2018 and new bollards are being installed. Studies have been launched to equip the quays and terminals dedicated to the handling of dry bulk cargo with shorebased electricity supply for vessels.

HAROPA PORT and its partners Voies Navigables de France, GRTgaz and the Banque des Territoires are joining forces to encourage the ‘greening’ of the river fleet by developing alternative fuels in the Seine Valley. In March 2021, for example, they formalized a 24-month partnership agreement to develop a coherent alternative fuel supply. The four partners have decided to combine their skills as managers of river, port and gas transport infrastructures and as financial players , with the aim of covering the various challenges of the transition to more sustainable energy and provide a coherent vision of the development of ‘clean’ fuels in the Seine basin.

This partnership aims initially to identify the most relevant technical solutions for the various uses of the river, including natural gas, hydrogen, electricity and advanced synthetic fuels. In consultation with players in the energy and waterway

gantries on the Elie peninsula, which will be undertaken during the season that is starting at a cost of €7 million.

Finally, terminal operators Sea Invest and Surveyfert have built new warehouses for the storage of dry bulk goods, adding 16,000 square metres of extra storage space. In Grand-Couronne, Sea Invest is investing €10 million in its terminal with the construction of a 6,700m2 warehouse that will be operational as of June 2021.

This cost €5 million and is intended for the storage of dry bulk goods, including wood pellets. By 2022, Sea Invest will also build a €5 million, 9,000m² warehouse on the quayside at Grand-Couronne for wood pellets, biomass and solid fertilizer.

The completion of upgrades to the maritime accesses at the port of Rouen, effective in the summer of 2019, has significantly improved the competitiveness of the port thanks to a deepening of the draught by a further one metre. Panamax vessels, which are most commonly used for grain transport, can now load up to 55,000 tonnes in Rouen, compared with 45,000 tonnes previously.

Rouen has also continued to upgrade environmental protect across its various terminals and operators.

In January 2021, for example, SouffletSocomac reopened its Croisset-Canteleu terminal after extensive modernization work. The operator acquired a new generation of grain loading equipment, manufactured by the German company Neuero. The new gantry crane increases the loading capacity of the Soufflet silo to 2,000tph (tonnes/hour), and the new loading head enables the cereals to be handled with very low dust and noise

HAROPA PORT Rouen has carried out work on the Quai de Petit-Couronne, where Surveyfert (fertilizers), Groupe BZ (cereals) and GDE (scrap metal) are located. The works have made it possible to lengthen the berthing line, which has been expanded by 30 metres. Two new dolphins were also installed to facilitate ship manoeuvres. As an extension to this project, the Rouen territorial management team has scheduled work in 2022 to deepen the quay downstream.

During the first two quarters of the current year, the various cereals handlers also continued investment of their own.

Soufflet-Socomac modernized its Canteleu-Croisset terminal, investing €10 million. This encompassed the installation of a new loading gantry and upgrades to existing handling equipment. This was in addition to work carried out by the Port of Rouen at a cost of €7.8 million to bring the terminal up to the level of the new channel draught.

For its part, the BZ group mainly carried out work to improve the flow of heavy goods vehicles to and from its site, notably with the construction of a new parking area and the installation of associated equipment.

As for Simarex, it has completed its programme to renovate storage domes, work which has been scheduled for the last three seasons and cost €5.3 million. In addition, it has invested in automated equipment to guarantee the superior quality of loaded cereals as well as to comply with HACCP regulations.

Sénalia undertook the construction of a building that will house its head office and made preparations for the replacement of

sectors, the second step will be to define a strategy for deploying the supply of fuel, based on the approaches already taken and on the possible synergies of fuelling between the different modes of transport (waterway, maritime, rail, road).

Among the various projects, the Avicafe (low-emission fuelling) initiative is studying a master plan for fuelling along the Seine.

In terms of multi-modal transport of dry bulk, HAROPA PORT is investing in the setting up of an incentive system for shippers to transfer to rail or waterway transport.

The objective is to consolidate and develop the share of rail and river transport on the River Seine. At present, rail accounts for 5% of all movements and waterways 10%.

The long-term objective is for 20% of all dry bulk to be moved by these two modes.

Delta Rail has already launched a shuttle between Le Havre and Chalon-sur-Saône to make the Saône river port a hub between the Channel and the Mediterranean. For its part, the combined transport operator, Naviland Cargo, has increased the frequency of its connections between Le Havre and Bordeaux. Rail movements have been increased from six to seven per week.

The re-routing of cereals by inland waterway to terminals in Rouen has now reached 27% of the total tonnage. With this in mind, Voies Navigables de France (VNF) has started the modernization of its infrastructure in the Seine basin. Locks and other structures are being upgraded in order to make the transport of goods by river more fluid.

“Rail’s share of pre-routing is stagnating, but the commissioning of the SNCF

Serqueux-Gisors line should increase the number of train paths and thus the offer available to operators,” noted a spokesperson.

Commenting on the global pandemic, the spokesperson concedes that it has had repercussions on the activity of the Seine ports. However, many companies have put in place new protocols which have greatly limited negative impacts. Thus, cereal exports continued at a sustained rate during the first lock down in spring 2020.

Indeed, the entire sector re-organized itself to maintain an almost normal level of activity despite the global health crisis. The impact on traffic was more visible in liquid and container bulk than in dry bulk, where activity was maintained.

Dry bulk has always played an important role in the overall volume of traffic handled at the Port of Dunkerque. Basically, it is an industrial port, with several large industrial complexes operating within its territory, meaning that Dunkerque nowadays specializes in the handling and processing of large quantities of both minerals and coal as well as in the handling of various more variable smaller dry bulk commodities.

As for traffic in 2020, the port regards it as an atypical year in many respects and one in which there was a significant slowdown in production activities as the result of the initial anti-Covid 19 lockdown imposed by the French government.

“This resulted in a halt to maritime flows for several of our industrial customers, consumers or exporters of dry bulk,” noted a spokesperson.

The figures speak for themselves: last year, the port handled 18mt of dry bulk,

compared to 23mt the previous year, which was a reduction of 22%.

“However,” comments the spokesperson, “port professionals reacted well to the health crisis, offering a service equal to that before Covid-19 irrespective of the number of staff on duty. It was essential to show that the port remained 100% operational despite this ordeal and this reaction very much highlighted Dunkerque’s ability to adapt.”

All indications are that 2021 promises to be a better year.

The first six months showed an increase of 12% compared to last year. The recovery has been especially noted in the flow of minerals and coal.

However, decarbonization means coal will eventually disappear from Dunkerque. However, for this year, the port has also noted improvements in the flow of various smaller bulks.

Only grain traffic reported a loss up to June 2021 compared to the same period in the previous year. However, 2020 was notable for an exceptional harvest season, with 3.3mt held in silos at Dunkerque.

“With investment already made in silos, as well as others in the pipeline, we can expect to see a development of imports of wood pulp, starting this year. There is also a stakeholder in the port handling imported wood pellets, with its own storage yard and bagging line,” said the spokesperson, adding that new investment is additionally planned for the construction of a building that will allow the processing and storage of fertilizer.

“Whether for this agro-food bulk sector or for bulk products in general, the Port of

installed last year. This eliminates emissions from auxiliary engines in docked vessels, thus improving air quality and reducing noise pollution. In the future, it is not impossible that this type of installation will multiply on the other specialist quays in the port, including those handling dry bulk commodities.

The 13.7mt of dry bulk shipped via the Port of Hamburg in the first half of 2021 represented a rise of 6.4% compared to the same period in 2022.

Cargo handled by grabs generated the biggest increase: of 20% to 10.5mt. This growth was based particularly on an upsurge in imports of iron ore and coal.

This, in turn, was down to the increased demand in steel production as part of the strong recovery across Europe following the slump that occurred as the result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Industrial supply chain problems and the resulting production slowdowns, for example in the auto industry, have not yet made an impact in terms of reduced orders for the European steel industry. Mineralbased building materials such as masonry, stone, aggregates, etc., have also profited from the strong demand in the construction industry.

Historically, imports of coal in Hamburg increased steadily right up until 2018, reaching a record level of over 8mt annually. Increased demand for coal because of a new coal-fired power plant in Hamburg as well as different production methods in the steel industry were behind this growth. From 2019 onwards, import

volumes began to decrease. In part this was due to increasing competition from other forms of power such as wind, solar, and gas, and in part due to lower demand from industry resulting from the Covid pandemic. The politically desired phasing out of coal as a power source can be expected to further decrease coal imports in the medium term — and not just in the Port of Hamburg.

In terms of infrastructure upgrades, the port points to adjustments made to the fairway, which enables bulk carriers to bring more cargo per ship to Hamburg or to load more at the port.

In general, the Port of Hamburg faces strong competition from other ports, which makes a very high level of performance essential to remain competitive. In the area of ore and coal handling, for example, the Hansaport Terminal has been following a automation strategy for several years. This guarantees high efficiency in the loading and discharging of ships as well as in hinterland transport.

As for upgrading environmental protection, the port began with the provision of shoreside power supply and with power barges for cruise ships. In the future, this is to be extended to cover cargo shipping as well.

In terms of the overall modal split for dry bulk arriving or leaving the port, the majority (61%) of outbound seaborne cargo and 74% of inbound seaborne cargo is moved by rail, with inland waterway carrying most of the rest.

PORTS & TERMINALS

Dunkerque is uniquely and ideally configured. The entry through lock gates to the port allows it to receive vessels of up to 120,000dwt. With a draught of up to 14.7 metres at certain dedicated quays, the handling and storage companies located there are used to working Panamax type vessels.

Dunkerque is also strongly encouraging its customers to switch away from road towards alternative modes of transport where possible. Indeed, the pre- or postshipment of dry bulk goods in recent years has tended to move strongly towards multimodal handling and movement. In 2020, inland waterways already moved 34% of total dry bulk and rail 36%.

“Port terminals are continually making efforts to upgrade environmental protection, with the aim of reducing emissions. Arcelor, for example aims to be carbon neutral by 2050. In the more or less long term, this will involve the replacement of fossil fuels by the recycling of iron and steel gases produced by the furnaces and by drastically reducing CO2 emissions through their capture and storage. It will also require greater use of recycled steel in its production,” explained the spokesperson.

In collaboration with its customers, the Port of Dunkerque is putting many elements in place to promote a greater “circular economy” and, in doing so, to present itself as a model in terms of being an environmentally friendly port.

For its container terminal, for example, a dockside electrical connection device was

New storage warehouse: an asset for EBS and the Port of Rotterdam

The enormous grey and white building at the Europoort terminal in the Rotterdam Beneluxhaven sparkles at you. The new, covered warehouse for agricultural products is the pride of European Bulk Services (EBS).

“The size of the warehouse, in combination with its design and location, is unique for Rotterdam.” says André Brussé of EBS about the new warehouse, plans for the future and the history of the company.

EBS specializes in the storage and transhipment of all types of bulk goods and has two terminals: in Botlek for nonagricultural products and one in Europoort for agricultural products, where the new warehouse is also located. The warehouse has a storage capacity of 50,000m3 for, among other things, grains and derivatives and consists of seven different compartments. “This allows us to store more different products and also smaller batches for multiple customers. The design of the warehouse is aimed at flexibility, which is ensured by the conveyor belt, built according to the latest techniques. The warehouse is also ATEX-proof, which means it meets the highest European safety guidelines for explosion hazards.”

YOUNG COMPANY, LONG HISTORY Brussé (58) is a sales manager at EBS and has been working in the port since 1983.

“After my military service, I came here as a

twenty-year-old. I first worked outside, then the commercial department had a planning vacancy in 1998 and I’ve been there ever since. The great thing about EBS is that it is a relatively young company with a long history. EBS was created in 1991 from a merger of three large stevedoring companies: Interstevedoring, Graan Elevator Maatschappij and Koninklijke Frans Swarttouw, which was established around 1887. EBS is a 100% subsidiary of HES International, established in 1908.”

INCREASING DEMAND FOR STORAGE Anyone who has worked in the port for that length of time has also seen a lot of changes. Brussé: “Absolutely, many companies have merged or disappeared.

When we merged, we had six terminals, now we have two. This is partly due to technical developments that make work easier and digitization. In the past, many tons of grain were transhipped, now we store and transship more semi-finished products and minerals. Rotterdam is no longer just a transit port, but also an important storage and transhipment port.

We noticed that demand for storage was increasing and that is why we now focus on expanding closed and flexible storage.”

FUTURE With the new warehouse, EBS has a total storage capacity of 700,000m3, an important step in a larger plan for the future. “In the coming years, we will be

investing heavily in closed storage to strengthen our position as a market leader.

For example, a new warehouse with a capacity of 66,000m3 will be built in Botlek.

And in Europoort, we still have an area where we can build a 50,000m3 warehouse.

To this end, we work closely with the Port of Rotterdam Authority to achieve this as effectively as possible.”

FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY Like the port, EBS is always on the move.

We ensure responsible storage and transshipment of bulk goods that contribute to tomorrow's world. “Our parent company HES has a far-reaching policy to make the terminals more sustainable.

Reducing emissions is a top priority, we want to minimize the use of diesel and electricity as much as possible. We use LED lamps for lighting, also in the warehouses.”

REINFORCING EACH What does Rotterdam mean for EBS and vice versa? Brussé: “Our terminals are located directly on deep water, which means large bulk carriers with a draught of 16 metres can moor directly at us. From the terminal, we have direct connections by road, rail and inland shipping to the hinterland. That draught, connections and the large European hinterland are really special about our port. This allows us to offer our customers a full service. And, in turn, EBS reinforces Rotterdam and DCi Rotterdam EBS.”

One of the world’s biggest producers of wood-based panel products has added another Liebherr machine to its UK equipment fleet.

EGGER (UK) Ltd makes highquality chipboard used in homes across the country and uses a combination of virgin timber and waste wood to keep its plant at Hexham in Northumberland supplied with raw material. Its Timberpak subsidiary, which is responsible for collecting and processing waste timber, feeds the plant from three locations in England and one in Scotland.

A Liebherr L 580 XPower wheeled loader is the latest fleet addition at Timberpak’s north-east plant in Washington, joining a pair of LH 24 material handlers, one wheeled, one tracked, already working on the site.

The yard takes in a variety of materials from local authorities and private recyclers, usually in bulk tippers and walking floor trailers. With the two LH 24s sorting the material and loading the shredder and screeners, the new XPower is unloading curtain-sided trailers and moving the incoming material around the yard prior to processing. The 28-tonne machine, which replaced a competitor’s model, was supplied with Liebherr’s industrial arm

Optimized solutions for belt slippage and premature wear of vulcanized lagging

OCTOBER 2021

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS

DCi 46

Power plants are increasingly operating in a more competitive climate. In a world short of mineral resources, coal continues to be a raw material of choice, with the result that by-products from the coal combustion process are increasing.

Stricter regulations and a heavier legislative burden, coupled with increasing environmental awareness, have made the operation of power plants more complicated and expensive. Bottom ash is part of the non-combustible residue of combustion in a power plant, boiler, furnace or incinerator.

The resulting higher transport and disposal costs associated with waste and combustion by-products mean that the power industry must look for solutions to minimize environmental impact.

In Taiwan, Jimway’s major coal-fired power plant customer has been providing thermal power at the Dalin Power Station since 1974. The client chose rubber pulley lagging for its conveyor system in order to reduce the risk of damage to the belt. The decision to do so, however, came at a cost — a lower pulley life of six to eight months, due to the poor wear properties of rubber lagging. If this issue is not addressed, the pulley’s pipe becomes worn through and, like a blade, can cut the belt.

The maintenance team also reported that the frequent need to replace the pulley lagging was time-consuming, tedious and costly to the operation. The client hoped that Jimway could solve abrasion-related issues.

When circumstances dictate, Jimway’s drive drum pulleys can be ceramic lagged as per the customer’s request. Ceramic

lagging is usually used by a client to solve traction or abrasion-related issues, achieving up to as much as five times higher co-efficient of friction than that of purely rubber to rubber. The positive grip improves tracking and reduces slippage.

This allows for lower belt tensions, which improves the life expectancy of conveyor components.

Jimway uses hot vulcanizing of the ceramic lagging to the drive drum pulley — not cold bonding, which although it has a low application cost, doesn’t offer 100% rubber tear adhesion, meaning that service life is somewhat reduced.

eliminates the risks of shell corrosion and prevents the rubber from separating from the pulley. Hot vulcanized lagging offers significant advantages over cold bonded lagging, when pulleys may be held in storage for extended periods and in less than ideal conditions.

The advantages of hot vulcanized lagging relate directly to the much better adhesion between the lagging and the pulley shell (hot vulcanizing ensures a 100% rubber tear bond between the lagging and the pulley shell) and also to the elimination of any joins between the lagging strips.

ADVANTAGES OF HOT VULCANIZING

Pros of hot vulcanizing: 1. Better for performance and service life.

2. Stronger bonding method.

3. Prevents rubber from separating from the pulley.

4. Eliminates gaps in the rubber lagging.

One advantage of hot vulcanizing is that the bond strength between the rubber and pulley shell is stronger compared to cold bonding. In addition to that, hot vulcanizing does not create joins in the lagging which

Communication is key for TTS equipment deliveries Communication is paramount. Latvian company TTS doesn’t sell equipment off the shelf. It tends to receive two different types of enquiries.

With the first type, the customer precisely describes the technical specifications of the machine it needs, or something very close to that.

In the second situation, the enquiry will go something along the lines of, “we need a mobile shiploader, but it should be five metres longer and two metres higher than the one we bought some time ago,” or “we would like a unit similar to the one from a neighbouring port — but we also require dust suppression, magnetic cleaning, a narrower chassis, and the unit should be telescopic, can you do that?”

And of course TTS is always able to say yes. This is how the company works, and is exactly what happened when it supplied a mobile hopper to the Port of Aarhus in Denmark, which it has just recently commissioned.

TTS received a drawing of the old hopper with comments — that the customer needs something like that, but with quite a number of improvements. TTS entered long discussions with the customer, a process that TTS greatly values.

During this process, the customer expresses everything that it needs, and TTS is able to explain exactly what it can offer.

During this exchange, the ideal product starts to come to life.

After all discussions, TTS embarks upon its design period, which also involves

New mobile hopper operating in one of the biggest ports in Denmark. amendments, additions and approvals from the customer. The next step is production, delivery, installation, commissioning — and here it is, the new mobile intake hopper is ready for heavy duty operation. It’s probably not necessary to describe its technical parameters, we all know that these can be very varied.

So any customers that need “something like that, but bigger, with dust suppression, different wheels, much bigger and with

feeder, no problem” are in good hands with TTS. “Oh, and also, a mobile shiploader.”

TTS just needs the customers’s specifications, and it will prepare an offer.

TTS has been serving the world’s material handling equipment market for over 25 years. During that time, numerous unique machines have been designed and built. TTS supplies equipment for a wide range of materials — from coal, to grain and raw sugar to aggregates and fertilizers.

CRS introduces Container Support System

DCi 48

Australian company Container Rotation Systems (CRS) has unveiled a new product for 2021 — the Container Support System (CSS).

The new CSS answers post-Covid-19 container shortages and constant price increases. It is a container side wall support system that will allow its clients to use any type of container for rotation.

This latest technology is a passive system — it is simple with no moving parts. This new technology removes the side wall loads during rotation by transferring energy back into the main body of the CRS Rotainer.

The CSS is available on all the Rotainer® Eurospec range from 1,450mm to 2,900mm high containers.

THE CRS CONCEPT CRS is renowned for its container-emptying system, which offers an efficient solution to the problem of unloading bulk from containers. This is a concept that is gaining in popularity worldwide, and is in use internationally handling cargoes of vastly different properties, from alumina to coal.

Based on our positive experience with the two permanently installed cargo cranes, it was quickly clear to us that another crane of the same type was the right choice.”

About half of the 5mt are exported from Uruguay, the other half is imported dry cargo from other countries. The FCCs handle various grains such as soy, maize and wheat, as well as minerals such as iron and manganese. The new FCC 300 is mainly used for soy handling and can handle up to 1,000 tonnes of soy per hour. The soy from Paraguay, Bolivia and Brazil is loaded onto overseas ships at the terminal and transported to Europe, Africa and the Far East.

In addition, to the space-saving design, the higher handling capacity was also a decisive feature for choosing the third permanently installed harbour crane. Furthermore, the higher flexibility due to the interchangeability of the grabs played an important role. With the two FCCs already in place, the crane operators now always work with the same type of

equipment. This increases safety during operations and facilitates routine operation. Another advantage of the identical cranes is a more efficient maintenance and procurement of spare parts. All three units can be maintained in one service loop.

Also, the Liebherr engineers from Argentina can train and specialize the customer’s maintenance personnel on the FCC 300. This enables them to check certain aspects of the crane’s everyday operations independently. In case of urgent service needs by the customer, the Liebherr specialists can be on site in just two hours.

reason, governments have established Weights and Measures Authorities with the express purpose of facilitating trade. To quote the Australian National Measurement Institute website, “Measurement is integral to a successful economy, the progress of innovation and science, and in ensuring Australian consumers can rely on trusted measurements for fair trade in goods and services.”

International Organization of Legal Metrology, OIML, is purposed with the development of International Trade Standards to provide models for regulations within member economies and for trade between nations. The OIML International Recommendation R50 sets down the rules for belt scales used for trade purposes.

This is the story of how Impala Terminals at its Callao Port facility in Lima Peru is utilizing belt equipment which complies with OIML R50 to accurately load ships to an accuracy of 0.1% using an OIML Class 0.2 belt scale. (See Class 0.2 definition later in this article.)

THE STATE-OF-THE-ART OF TRADE IN PARCELS OF BULK MATERIAL

OCTOBER 2021

www.drycargomag.com

Metalliferous concentrates such as copper, lead or zinc are traded in nominally 10,000tonne parcels which are loaded onto ships in separate holds on a Capesize ship with total capacity of 30,000 to 50,000 tonnes.

The parcels are usually weighed onto the ship using conveyor belt scales or truck scales and a final bill of lading is struck using draught survey as the official measurement.

Some sites do not involve draught survey, but the majority do and some sites do not use belt scales or truck scales, but most use one or the other.

Truck scales involve a road weigh bridge

and truck loads of material are weighed on the weighbridge 20, 30 or 40 tonnes at a time depending upon truck capacity. For every truck weight there is first an empty (tare) weight which is subtracted from the loaded (gross) truck weight. It is a laborious process but for high value concentrates it can be worthwhile.

Conveyor belt scales on the other hand are an automatic scale built into a conveyor belt which continuously computes the total weight of material which has passed over by successive addition. Belt scales are convenient to use and almost every site has one or more.

There is, however, considerable variation in belt scale accuracy.

Ships are typically loaded over belt scales which have a theoretical accuracy of 0.25%. However poor maintenance, poor location (application assessment), weigh frame deflection and variable belt tension can cause a belt scale to have real life performance closer to 1% accuracy. With a typical parcel of 10,000 tonnes worth $2,000 per tonne, this is a $20 million transaction.

Accuracy of 0.25% is

equivalent to an error worth $50,000.00 however an error of 1% can involve giving away as much as $200,000.

To improve the accuracy of shiploading transactions, Impala Terminals at Callao Port made the decision to install a Class 0.2 belt scale manufactured by Control Systems Technology, Australia. An error of 0.1% has a potential cost of only $20,000 for a 10,000-tonne parcel which is ten times less that compared to a ‘not unusual’ 1% error with a value of $200,000.00.

DRAUGHT SURVEY AND PARTIAL LOADS CST has provided belt weighers (conveyor belt scales) used for shiploading for many years. In one instance, for the loading of potash, the Canadian based Potash Exporter Association (Canpotex) chose belt scales in place of draught survey since several cargoes were loaded onto the same ship. The separate cargoes or ‘partial loads’ were loaded into different holds and it was deemed not sufficiently accurate to determine the size of a partial load using draught survey due to the high value of potash. Metalliferous concentrates are worth five to ten times more per tonne than potash.

While the accuracy of draught survey is said to be ±0.5% there is evidence to suggest that this might be difficult to achieve at many ports due to wave action and varying salinity. In fact, though it is based on the simple idea of Archimedes principle, it involves multiple measurements of hull plimsoll and internal tank levels of ‘water’ whose salinity must be known and faithful ‘errorless’ tables from the ship builder documenting the exact volume and shape of the ship and internal vessels. That is not to mention hogging and sagging which can make draught survey even more unreliable.

It is evident that it is only the survey of the whole ship which might have an error inside ±0.5%. For example, if there were

CONVEYOR BELT SCALE PERFORMANCE

The OIML produces International Recommendation 50-1/2/3 Continuous Totalizing Automatic Weighing Instruments.

The latest revision is dated 2014. OIML has four classes of conveyor belt scales, per the following table below.

The OIML system embodies the principle that a weighing system which achieves an accuracy of say ±0.1% at verification is derated to twice the tolerance in service. This is an imperfect system because to simply de-rate the equipment cannot be sufficient assurance that the equipment remains accurate. CST has a policy of Continuous, In Service, Permanence Testing (CISPT) to address this issue. The system is described in more detail later in this article.

As a manufacturer of high-quality belt scale equipment, CST does not expect the in service performance of the equipment to slip to 0.2%. The Class 0.2 belt scale, as far as CST is concerned, is a ±0.1% accurate system.

The OIML R50 belt weighing standard is the most demanding and most accurate standard in the world. As a ‘Legal for Trade’ system, OIML R50 is founded both in law and good practice. There are several steps in achieving and maintaining this high accuracy standard.

THE OIML R50 TESTING PROCESS The OIML R50 test method is the most stringent belt scale testing regimen in the

The full detail of the method including the amount of material required for each test is detailed in the Australian NMI document NITP6.5 (National Instrument Test Procedure). This procedure is a practical development from the OIML R50 guidelines.

There is almost endless discussion about the accuracy of belt scales. I stated above that a belt scale result is machine generated and so above the vagaries of human interference.

This is much more the case than for draught survey, but humans are still involved in the calibration and maintenance of belt scales. It does not matter how good a belt scale is, it will not be accurate if it is calibrated to an unreliable calibration standard, the worse the standard, the worse the belt scale. In a worst-case scenario, many sites calibrate their belt scales to draught survey!

world.

Other “Legal for Trade’ belt scale testing methods involve less tests and do not include such a wide range of flow rates.

All tests consist of a pair of results, two results, one after the other, under the same conditions. The result pair must agree with each other within the accuracy limit, and they must also each have errors which are smaller than the required standard. It is a combined repeatability and an accuracy test.

The table on p54 shows the ten tests which constitute the five pairs of tests. Two pairs of tests are required at 100% design flow rate, two pairs of tests are required at 20% of design flow rate and one test pair at 50% of design flow rate. The order is not important.

When testing a conveyor belt scale with live loads of material, three main elements are involved.

1. The belt scale itself’ 2. A control Instrument, three times more accurate than the belt scale’ 3. A test circuit which involves the means of moving material between the control instrument and the belt scale without any gains or losses of test material.

The ±0.5% error is a fraction of TSS which in this simple example is notionally 4 x the size of the hold figure, hence a relative error of ±2.0%. This can be much worse in practice due to there being six, eight or even ten 10,000-tonne holds in the ship.

But the main problem is that draught survey depends upon human judgement when reading some very uncertain numbers.

It is telling that draught surveyors always insist on knowing the conveyor belt scale result before finalizing their official and usually binding result.

Many people believe that the accuracy of draught survey depends upon good belt scale results.

The conveyor belt scale in contrast is a machine generated result without direct human intervention.

It is necessary to have both a suitably stable conveyor belt scale and good calibration standards to achieve good belt weighing. Equally important is the belt scale maintenance culture which has been inherited from the manufacturer.

four main holds, it is simple arithmetic to show that the error on a particular hold will be more in the order of ±2.0%. Again, on a typical 10,000-tonne hold, this error could represent $400,000 and hence the importance of accurate belt scales for determining the value of a cargo on a ship.

The principle is illustrated in the diagram (right) in which a four-hold vessel is depicted.

We have ‘before’ and ‘after’ Total Ship Survey (TSS) so it follows that: Hold 1 Estimate = (TSS After ±0.5% – TSS Before ±0.5%) Making TSS ‘before and after’ equal for simplicity, and understating the error as 0.5% (which could arguably be 1.0%).

The Conveyor belt scale technology is rigorously tested in a laboratory by an OIML-recognized approval authority. The Scale is tested for stability and immunity to influence factors such as temperature and electromagnetic radiation.

Full Approval An example of the equipment is required to pass rigorous live load testing in the field. The testing involves five pairs of tests at flow rates from 20% to 100% of full-scale flow.

Application of The manufacturer sells an example of the Pattern Approved belt scale equipment to an end user approved equipment who desires, for example, Class 0.2 performance. The equipment is designed according to the Intellectual Property of the manufacturer and the parameters of the pattern approval.

Initial verification The equipment is tested on site by an approved authority in accordance with OIML guidelines.

It is necessary to pass a series of tests including zero stability and five pairs of live load tests which are checked against a suitable static scale control instrument which is 3 x more precise than the belt scale. Calibration adjustments are sealed. The sealing is usually by means of an audit trail.

In service The equipment is used by the customer. During this period (typically 12 months), no maintenance other than cleaning and zero adjustment is permitted. The error, according to OIML is permitted to be at 2 x the initial verification error so for a Class 0.2 scale, 0.2%.

However, manufacturers of high-quality weighing equipment would not expect accuracy to exceed the initial verification error of 0.1%. No re-calibration is permitted during the in-service period. It is important to note that all the parts of the belt including the idler rolls, weigh frame, tachometer, electronics set and set-up parameters are a part of the calibration and may not be adjusted. It is prudent to check the health of the belt scale during the in-service period by applying static calibration masses from time to time. However, no adjustment is permitted!

Maintenance When maintenance is performed the seals are broken, mechanical maintenance is performed, and all previous calibration adjustments are lost. The typical maintenance period is 12 months.

Maintenance is always followed by re-verification.

Continuous, CST promotes a policy of ‘Continuous, In-Service, Permanence Testing (CISPT). At the end of In-Service, the certification period, before maintenance, the scale is live load performance tested and is Permanence Testing permitted to keep operating for up to 24 months without maintenance, on the condition that it passes basic live load tests.

frame is static mass. One calibration mass is provided for each main idler set, sized at 100% of design full scale flow. The mass can be split for a 50% linearity test. The calibration masses are very heavy and are stored in place and applied via a hand operated gearbox.

The tachometers are calibrated by an automatic system which continually checks the number of tachometer pulses between a reference length on the conveyor. The measured length reference is marked by two magnetic sensors which are triggered by a magnetic marker inserted in the conveyor belt.

The equipment is both very robust and very precise.

A procedure was developed by CST in cooperation with Impala which was designed to ensure the success of the live load testing of the new belt scale. The importance of having a good plan and working rigidly to the plan cannot be overemphasized.

The size of the test load was chosen to be nominally 110 tonnes each (100-120

tonnes). To achieve a 0.1% test, total error had to be controlled to less than 100kg (100–120kg). This amount must account for error at the truck weigh bridge, belt

scale error, any losses or gains in test material and any moisture or dust losses.

Management of the test circuit was the most difficult part of the testing process

and required the most work. The procedure identified all the steps and transfer points in the process and described in detail the actions that would be necessary to ensure a high-quality test.

The test procedure is 16 pages long and was adopted by Impala Terminals management.

Each time a test load was run over the belt scale it was necessary to clean all the transfer points. Since the loads had been dumped from a truck and picked up again, the floor also required cleaning. The cleanup material was accumulated and run over the belt scale in one parcel at the end of the test.

The testing was supervised in person by CST staff in Peru. Both CST’s Technical Support manager Olger Quenaya and South America Business Development Manager, Santiago Betancur were present on site for the tests.

However, due to CST’s modern technology, it was also able to provide additional supervision from Australia. Its system provides real time operation anywhere in the world.

The two screen shots left capture the first part of a load which was nominally 105.4 tonnes and then the final totalizers from the two halves of the system at 107.26 tonnes showing that the clean-up was 1.86 tonnes.

and (iii) the tachometer. (i) The physical weigh frame needs to maintain its geometry to maintain its accuracy. The weigh frame transforms the weight sensed over the weigh frame to a kg/m linear density measurement. The stability of this measurement depends upon stable alignment. It is necessary to use robust high-quality designs that do not bend or creep. This is a feature of the CST weigh frame which can be observed to be larger and more robust than most on the market. But to preserve this accuracy, the weigh frame must be protected from inexpert maintenance. (ii) The Load Cells and Electronics considered together represent the ability of the scale to measure weight.

The presumed inability of load cells

and electronics to stay calibrated is not correct, it is an industry wide myth.

Modern load cells and electronics hold their calibration. You can be sure of this because the National Measurement Institute and OIML test these components in their laboratories to a high degree. They are very well tested and proven and this is not the problem if calibration appears to change. It is important to say again, that to preserve accuracy, the load cell sub-system must be protected from inexpert maintenance. (iii) The Tachometer is an equally important a measuring sub-system but is also regularly misunderstood. The CST system has automatic continuous tachometer calibration. Utilizing two magnetic sensors positioned a precise distance apart and a small magnet

MAINTENANCE OF CONVEYOR BELT SCALE ACCURACY

It is true to say that one set of results does not prove a point. The results need to be repeatable and durable.

In the context of the Impala installation, it is useful to consider that the actual span numbers for these units have not changed significantly since the unit was finally commissioned in July 2021. At the time of these tests the two belt scales were not respanned neither was it considered likely that they would need it. The scales had in fact been running successfully for several months and had already been live load tested once. The tests, conducted by a third party, gave good results but were not conducted according to OIML standards.

They were of inadequate quality, and CST decided to make no adjustments at that time, believing that its scale was performing within specification. Impala Terminals had been using the equipment and was happy with the results and comparisons it was able to obtain.

There is often pressure to adjust belt scales, but it is necessary, with good equipment to ‘stand your ground’ and only adjust to good references and not often.

CST suggests that the minimum time between OIML tests might be 12 months, though prudence would suggest that for a new system that it should initially be tested after a shorter time to establish its stability.

For planning maintenance, there are three main sources of error in belt scales which must be considered., (i) The physical weigh frame including the rollers, (ii) The load cells and electronics grouped together

the five pairs which constitute a full OIML test. The tables on p56 show the results which were obtained from Balanza 1 and Balanza 2.

There were tune-up runs before the actual tests and these included tests at 620tph (tonnes per hour) which is the lowest flow rate which could be fed. The tests were all remarkably linear and showed a need to increase the scale output by approximately +0.2% when compared to the static mass calibration.

The concentrate was quite dark in colour and hence of high moisture and some moisture would have been lost between the weigh bridge and the belt scale. This is especially true of the clean-up material. It is considered likely that up to 0.1% of the required adjustment was to compensate for moisture loss.

It is planned to conduct future tests which with proper planning will include five pairs of tests.

ENGINEERING & EQUIPMENT

embedded in the belt, the system continually checks and adjusts (within safe limits) the calibration of the tachometer. It is the presence of this system which is responsible for the very close agreement between the dead weigh calibration of CST’s system and the live load performance.

Often, adjustments required by live load tests which capture all error, are necessary due to tachometer error, but these errors are commonly attributed to the weigh frame or to the load cell sub-systems.

Prudent maintenance involves checking that the weigh frame and rollers are in good order. It also involves applying the static masses to check that the load cell subsystem is in good order. It does not involve changing belt scale span (calibration).

If span has drifted it is a problem to be solved and cannot be fixed with a re-span. It is most likely due to the misapplication of a calibration reference or the use of an unreliable CISPT system as a flow diagram.

calibration reference such as a calibration chain.

It is a consistent problem in belt weighing, even in trade certified belt weighing that owners believe that they should recalibrate their scales with a calibration chain. This is because there is a persistent belief that load cells are unreliable and that span constants need to be continually changed. The reality is that calibration chains do not engage repeatably with the weigh frame ((i)above) and therefore unskilled maintenance workers conclude that they should adjust the load cells ((ii)above). This has caused endless problems in belt weighing.

CONTINUOUS, IN SERVICE, PERMANENCE (DURABILITY) TESTING (CISPT) Belt scale users need proof of the continued good operation of their belt scales.

CST is providing continuous proof by means of the SDR design which is two scales which agree to demonstrate the good health of both halves of the system.

The CST Symmetrical Dual Redundant (SDR) system goes a long way toward providing the necessary

CONCLUSION Impala Terminals has installed a OIML Class 0.2 belt scale at its Callao port facility. At this time, this belt scale may among the best in the world.

The belt scale is a CST, SDR-CSRR. A Symmetrical Dual Redundant belt scale with extended 3600mm idler spacing and additional belt support using CST’s Close Spaced Roller Rack design. The belt scale consists of two weigh frames adjacent to each other in which each half of the scale is

±0.1% accurate and suitable as an OIML Class 0.2 system.

The two halves of the system are independently calibrated and are expected to agree within ±0.1% without further adjustment, and indeed that objective is being achieved.

The accuracy and stability of the weigh frame is based on CST’s nearly 40 years’ experience in accurate belt weighing originally in Australia and now around the world. CST has always had a big presence in shiploading.

Most of Australia’s iron ore, coal and metalliferous concentrates are loaded onto ships over CST accuracy belt scales. CST’s customers include all the major mining companies.

As outlined in this paper, it is not only necessary to have a high quality, highly stable belt scale but it is necessary also to only calibrate it with reliable calibration standards. The durability of accuracy is described as veracity, ‘habitual truthfulness’.

Many reasonably accurate belt scale applications suffer from inexpert maintenance practices. The most common is to run a calibration chain on the belt scale, after live load calibration and to see an apparently different calibration because the calibration chain is not equivalent to live load. Having adjusted the belt scale it is no longer accurate. Maintenance culture is critical. Belt scales must only be calibrated against high quality reference standards.

The calibration of the CST belt scale at Impala is based on live load tests, but the tests are conducted to a very carefully crafted plan. This plan ensures that the

tests represent an accurate standard, suitable for the calibration of a 0.1% scale.

This plan is critical to accurate belt weighing at Impala Terminals, Callao and must be strictly followed.

CST provides static masses as a calibration reference for the weigh frame.

The adjustment necessary to achieve 0.1% agreement with the weigh bridge was approximately +0.2%. It is quite credible that at least half of this adjustment is due to moisture loss. It should be noted that 6% moisture in a 110-tonne load represents almost seven tonnes of water content. A loss of 100 litres of water is easy to accept given the amount of materials handling and clean-up required. CST is confident that the static mass calibration has provided a near perfect live load accuracy.

The final and possibly the most important consideration is the permanence of the belt scale. Will it be accurate tomorrow? Can it be trusted? This point is addressed in this paper and CST sees it as an ongoing responsibility to its customers to show that it is reliably accurate. The dual nature of the system is a significant indication of the health and stability of the system.

However, maintenance practices are critical, and CST intend to use the CISPT system at Impala Callao to prove the point.

CISPT ensures that the scale has remained in good order and does not permit bad performance to be hidden by bad maintenance practices.

CST is committed to a new standard of belt weighing competence and responsibility.

assurance, but it is necessary to address the concern that there may be errors consistently affect both halves of the system.

One of the worst aspects of current maintenance practice is that by performing maintenance on trade-certified belt scales any evidence of calibration drift is destroyed in the process before recertifying.

CST has proposed the policy of CISPT to solve this problem. The CISPT system in a nutshell is to test a belt scale before maintenance to see if it is still accurate. If it is still operating within accuracy limits, allow it to continue in service for a maximum of two years. If it fails, halve the certification period to a minimum of three months.

A truly rigorous system would only allow three months initially, with the trusted period growing to two years. If a belt scale cannot stay calibrated for three months, it is not worthy of being certified.

See below the CISPT system in the form of a flow diagram.

High-performance machine impresses in endurance test

P

owerful, precise and extremely fast – these were the words used by the proud test operators to describe the 835 G Hybrid material handler, the new 47tonne model produced by SENNEBOGEN. With a handling capacity of around 800tph (tonnes per hour), it is a pioneer in its machine class and is now defining new standards in its special field, the demanding material handling business: whether in inland ports, in scrap yards or in the steel mill.The following report is from the testers who put it through its paces.

Their impression of the new specialist for inland ports, scrap operations and steel mills? Precision meets operator and service comfort, combined with unparalleled performance and efficiency.

Maximilien Gras, a long-standing SENNEBOGEN customer, travelled from France to Germany. The managing director of the port service provider and machine rental company SARL Gras looks back on many years of experience with various material handlers from different manufacturers. It was without hesitation that he himself sat down at the joysticks of the new SENNEBOGEN 835 G-Series. The

machine was tested on the training grounds of the SENNEBOGEN Academy, as these are the ideal conditions for either training operators or simulating a realistic loading situation from everyday life in a port. In this case, it involved a slewing angle of 80° when filling a hopper, 1.7t/m³ bulk density of the material, and a 2.2m³ clamshell bucket. Back from his test drive inside the cab, the passionate machine operator concludes: “I am simply thrilled with the performance of this machine: on the one

hand, the support of the Green Hybrid system now enables a completely different motion sequence. With the additional force of the third hydraulic cylinder between the two lifting cylinders, the boom moves upwards almost by itself after the material has been picked up. This means that even in this machine size, superimposed slewing and stroke movements can be carried out that enable a completely different dynamic and speed.

At peak times, I can reach about 800tph.

That is really unique in this machine class!

On the other hand, as a business man, I am of course pleased to see the positive effects of the decreased diesel consumption caused by the recuperation technology: 30% less fuel for this output – that’s quite a statement to the market.”

Ferid Ibralic, an experienced machine operator at Rohstoffverwertung Regensburg GmbH, commented: “SENNEBOGEN has designed a first-class and comfortable cab here: it can be moved particularly smoothly to the upper or lower end position.

The high-quality design of the cab elevation is also noticeable when working, driving and slewing: I feel fewer vibrations and the noise level in the cab is significantly reduced. In addition, the new plus in viewing height pays off on our 5m high scrap shear. That simply makes me feel safer!”

Cleveland Cascades’ solutions make bulk loading easy and safe

Cleveland Cascades is a specialist in the design and manufacture of bespoke dry bulk loading chutes. Based in the North East of England, the company has built a population of over 650 systems, working in bulk handling facilities worldwide.

Cleveland Cascades is best known for its Cascade controlled flow technology chute, which uses a series of inclined cones, inside a retractable cover, to control dust pollution at source, while at the same time minimizing both material degradation and segregation.

This technology has established the company as a global force in ship and silo loading chutes.

The company’s range of free fall chutes, complement the Cascade and have applications in tanker loading, vehicle loading as well as ship & silo loading.

Cleveland Cascades has developed a worldwide reputation for quality, wellengineered, robust, high performance chutes, backed up by excellent customer service and global lifetime product support.

The company has developed a range of solutions that make the loading of bulk cargoes smoother, safer and more efficient.

SKIRTED OUTLET One of the main staples of the cascade system, the skirted outlet is a standard component on all loading systems supplied.

It is constructed from overlapped leaves of conveyor rubber, surrounded by a pleated canvas cover to provide a flexible but hardwearing arrangement that aids with material stockpiling.

The skirt sits over the apex of a material pile to allow for a smooth and controlled material delivery from the system effectively minimizing product degradation and dust generation.

RESITAIN VALVE This is a trap-door style valve which is placed at the base of a loading system. It is opened during loading operations and then closed upon completion. This prevents any residual material left over in the system from falling out of the base outlet when changing from hatch to hatch or moving back into its stored position following the completion of loading.

In cases where a resitain valve is not installed, loose material can fall onto the deck of the ship or even into the water which could cause pollution or contamination. Having a resitain valve present on the system can help with reducing the requirement for clean-up operations.

HATCH CHARGER The hatch charger system has been developed by Cleveland Cascades with the aim of overcoming the problems that closed-hatch loading can present when

Many variations exist of the trimmer spout and can be provided in standard or extended lengths including various liners with suitable surface abrasion resistance respective of the material being loaded. handling free-flowing materials that are sensitive to wet conditions.

The system is designed for continuous loading into ‘cement holes’ and achieves this by accommodating the ships movement which is caused during loading and from water movements also. This aids in reducing downtime due to adverse weather conditions where typically loading would have to be halted.

ROTATING TRIMMING SPOUT The trimmer spout can be installed permanently or used intermittently when required. It permits material to be

CONTROLLER MODULE Cleveland Cascades is capable of providing either the simplest operating systems through to extremely complex systems which can operate as part of a client’s loading operations.

The control of the Cleveland Cascades system can be seamlessly integrated in to the clients existing PLC equipment, or alternatively, it can be independently provided and operated with a dedicated control panel and PLC. Implementing a HMI display provides a clear interface for operators to monitor and control the system. Loading operations can be started

and stopped for fault finding or even automated at the touch of a button which is especially useful for vehicle loading systems.

As part of the control, Cleveland Cascades can also offer remote control systems and pendant stations for system operation. These can range from the simplest of pendants to more complex remote control stations incorporating a range of functions dependent upon the customers’ requirements.

Polimak is an industrial company concerned with the design and production of machineries used for bulk solids handling.

With over 40 years of experience in the bulk solids industry, its objective is to devise and produce state-of-the-art bulk solids equipment which provides quality performance during bulk material(s) handling for its clients.

It offers a wide range of solutions for bulk material loading applications — the stockpile loading bellows is just one of the many bulk solids handling products that Polimak has, and is used to assist with smooth and effective stockyard management.

Stocking of bulk solids in the form of powder or granular is a common task in industrial plants. A great deal of know-how is required to automate this process smoothly.

Stockpile loading bellows have extensive range of models and configurations which are dependent on the bulk material type, the loading capacity and the application requirements. They are widely used for efficient and dust-controlled discharging of powdered or granular bulk solids to stockpiles.

They provide fast and steady material flow during discharge. The bulk solid materials are transferred from the source (hopper, silo, screw feeder etc.) to the stockpile basement without difficulty. The material falls freely through the loading spouts. Some of the features available on these systems include: inner cones; outer bellows; flexible skirt; dust collector; lifting cables; and level sensors etc.

The loading spouts contain inner tapered cones that allow steady and smooth material flow and an outer flexible bellows which helps with the removal of dust. They also contain flexible skirts that are situated at the bottom end of the spouts to prevent dust emission to outside of the bellows.

The dust collection system captures and filters the dust formed during the material discharge process. When the dusty air is filtered, the clean air is passed out and the dust collected inside the filter is transferred back to the bellows.

The level sensors installed on the loading spouts are used to continuously check the levels of the bulk material, which consequently leads to the adjustment of the spouts accordingly. The lifting cables are located outside the bulk material flow

and aid with the lowering and raising of the loading bellows.

The concept behind the operation of loading bellows is the vertical discharge (a free fall discharge).

When stockpile loading commences, the loading bellows are lowered towards the

stockpile floor from a stand-by position.

Once the bellows outlet (dust skirt) reaches the ground, the cables stop lowering the bellows. During material discharge, the dust skirt fairly contains the dust within the bellows and the dust collection system captures the dust. The

captured dust is filtered, the clean air is passed out to the surrounding area and the collected dust is transported back to the bellows. In this way, it is possible to prevent any material wastage. As the bulk material piles up, the loading bellows retracts upwards automatically to allow smooth and

rapid material flow.

When stockpiling is completed, the system waits a few minutes before fully retracting to ensure complete material discharge and thorough dust collection.

After this, the system retracts back to stand-by position.

Materials in powder or granule form that can be handled by the stockpile loading bellows include: v cement; v fly ash; v mining minerals; v calcium carbonate; v PVC; v plastic pellets; v plastic powders; v polyethylene; v ceramic powders; v alumina; v bentonite,=; v bauxite; v coal; v cement clinker; v gypsum; v perlite; v kaolin; v limestone; v marble powder; v soda ash; v quartz; v urea; v sodium sulphate; v wheat; v flour; v animal feed; v seed; v corn; v rice; v sugar; and v salt.

The logistics of port dust control in loading and unloading operations It’s early morning and the wind rolls across the water, causing a moderate chop on the surface, writes Mike Lewis, Dust Specialist & VP of Sales, BossTek. It’s a sure sign that any dust generated that day will travel a long way, hopefully just down the port, but possibly further into the nearby community. Operators know it well and hope that any complaint calls come to them instead of the local authorities or EPA. Community relations is one thing, hosting inspectors and trying to avoid fines is another.

With no natural barriers other than landmasses, port waterways can concentrate winds and raise air speed.

Ocean and seaport breezes can be unpredictable, and environmental conditions can affect the entire operation, from intake to storage to loading.

Proper positioning of dust control when loading raw material requires mobility.

A misting ring can ensure adequate surface suppression when the material lands on the pile.

PORT LOGISTICS & DUST

DCi 78

The logistical journey of bulk material at a port begins when it is offloaded to the site up to the moment the material hits the deck or hold of a vessel. Every port is unique, and some can be highly specialized.

From a dust control standpoint, flexibility is needed to achieve tailored dust control solutions.

A dedicated system might cater to the standards of a specific industry. Bulk grain, for example, must be kept dry to prevent mold, so an enclosed system of covered conveyors and silos limits the exposure to rain but can still have dust emission points at unloading and loading. A specialized port without material-specific restrictions such as handling light and dusty petroleum coke (petcoke) might have a completely open system from train to storage to ship, with dust concerns at every logistical stage.

Some ports are generalized as to the type of material they handle from month to month. This introduces its own set of

obstacles in preventing particle emissions.

For example, a large nearby demolition and construction project can suddenly feed a port tonnes of scrap and recycled material from metal to concrete, which can all carry different handling, storage and emissions requirements.

These examples require different dust

control solutions and creating a comprehensive dust management plan using modern technology helps mitigate some of the issues around particulate emissions. With the right plan and technology, port managers can enjoy positive relationships with local government, nearby communities and the media over air quality issues.

INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATED DUST SOLUTIONS

Materials such as scrap metal and demolition waste can have highly variable dust properties.

Being able to control when and where dust solutions are operating in response to conditions from a central location is key.

One major part of efficient port operation is automation. Ports are often massive, windy open areas and having staff spray down thousands of tonnes of bulk material stacked in large storage piles to mitigate dust is inefficient and minimally effective.

An automated suppression solution is more efficient, safer and cost-effective over time.

There are various technologies for

A well-appointed storage area with proper dust suppression improves compliance and efficiency. offering an excellent opportunity to introduce moisture from strategically placed misting bars or spray heads to prevent downstream dust emissions.

Accompanied by a dosing system, operators can introduce dust suppressing surfactants and other additives that promote clumping without saturation. Some dosing units provide data on the volume of surfactants dispersed and chemical levels, offering operators precise control. v tower mounted dust cannons: storage areas and stockpiles experience a constant churn of material. Even with natural barriers, wind can lift dust off the

piles and carry it long distances.

Consistent disruption from front loaders can cause dust to become airborne, eliminating any previous efforts at surface suppression with hoses or sprinklers. To address these conditions, many operators have turned to tower mounted cannon systems.

Atomized misting cannons can be positioned around storage areas high enough to reach the entire pile and introduce millions of tiny droplets to the ambient airflow, with the goal of stopping airborne particle emissions before they can travel. v mobile dust control cannons: whether mounted on trucks or trailers or

different applications, but many ports are choosing atomized mist technology because its use in shiploading and unloading over nearly two decades has proven its effectiveness in suppressing both airborne and surface particles. Managers prefer atomized mist cannons for their ability to automatically control flow and direction with very little manual labour, using a fraction of the water of hoses and sprinklers.

Working backward from ship to train, some of the options for atomized mist are: v misting rings: no matter if material is discharged straight off of a conveyor, through a sock or down a metal chute, there is always a gap between the exit and the pile where the material is in a freefall and exposed to wind. This can be mitigated using a stainless-steel misting ring that surrounds the material flow with a curtain of light mist that falls with the material. When wind hits the stream, the mist travels with airborne dust, colliding with particulates and pulling them down, preventing the escape of fugitive material. v transfer point misting bars: most operations have several transfer points, particularly when directing material to different sections of the port. During transfer, dropping material separates,

ENGINEERING & EQUIPMENT

equipped with a mobile carriage, these cannons can be called upon to suppress dust wherever needed. With a vertical throw angle of 0–50º, based on the maximum ship size allowed by the port, operators can choose models that can reach the height of an empty ship with enough power to stretch across the beam. When not in use on the dock, they can be easily moved to material storage or loading areas. They can also be used for large area cooling on hot days. v misting heads: in ports handling raw material by train or hopper truck where dozens of cars are unloaded one after the other, atomized misting heads can be a very cost-effective solution vs. manual spraying. Since the unloading area doesn’t change, this allows operators to strictly control water output, as the units can be programmed to activate only when material is being unloaded into storage or onto a conveyor.

Although the storage area has an adequate wind barrier, the dock remains exposed.

CASE STUDY #2: SERVICIOS ESPECIALES PORTUARIOS S.A. (SEPSA) SEPSA is a leading-edge stevedoring and bulk cargo distribution company based in the Port of Veracruz, Mexico. The firm handles more than a million metric tonnes of bulk cargo per year, including shredded and structural scrap, pig iron, hot briquette iron, petcoke and fertilizer.

Along with dust emissions from loading raw material onto ships, dust was also being generated by the nearby storage yard. With sudden shifts in wind and weather along the waterway, crews struggled to control dust drifting over the company’s five-hectare property.

With mobility and versatility among its primary needs, SEPSA mounted an atomized mist cannon from BossTek® on a tanker truck that could be easily driven and parked wherever dust suppression was needed. The unit features a manifold with 30 brass nozzles that create millions of water droplets per minute within a range of 50–200 microns, the optimum size for particle attraction and coverage area. It launches the mist with a powerful 25 HP (18.6kW) fan, delivering a range of more than 200ft (~60m).

Equipped with full 359º oscillation, it can cover more than 125,000ft2 of area (approximately 2.8 acres or 1.1 hectares) with a fine, dust-trapping mist.

“Now that we have this rig, the dust suppressor is an even bigger asset in our arsenal against fugitive dust,” said Director Andrew Gillespie of SEPSA.

CASE STUDY #3: RIVER PORT A busy port in New England operates a dock and industrial park with bulk material storage.

“We realized that we needed dust suppression for scrap storage and other operations in the industrial park,” explained a company representative close to the project. “Our goal was to improve air quality for the safety of our employees and the surrounding community.”

the dock is 1,100ft (335m)-long, loading barges at a rate of 1,500tph (1,360mtph). There, HRL has fleeting for 40 barges.

HRL employs two DustBoss® atomized misting rings at the site, a 48in. (1,219mm) diameter unit on the smaller loading area and a large 72in. (1,828mm) ring on the main loading area. The rings are stainless steel circular manifolds that can be fitted with up to 38 misting nozzles. They are mounted on the conveyor three feet under the discharge point, pumping 23.94 gallons per minute (90.62 litres per minute) of atomized water.

“We initially purchased the 48-inch for our barge loader and it did such an excellent job, we decided to get another one for our main discharge point,” said Duer.

organized piles, stretching as high as 20ft (6m), are exposed to outdoor conditions.

Located about 700ft (213m) inland from the river with no natural wind barrier, the stored metal comes from various sources (demolition projects, old cars, dismantled ships, etc.) and is transferred from barges and deposited into storage piles. During windy conditions, the unprocessed metal can emit dust both during offloading from vessels and loading onto ground transport.

The port purchased two cannons, one for mounting above the scrap yard and one mounted on a wheeled carriage to remain mobile so it can be moved wherever it is needed. Both cannons feature a 25HP (18.6kW) fan producing 30,000CFM (849.50CMM) of airflow to propel the engineered mist in a 200f (~60m)-long cone that can reach high over the deck of the ship.

Operators report that air quality at the port has significantly improved during the unloading of clinker and other dusty materials, and that fugitive dust emissions have not been seen leaving the site since adding the units to the facility’s dust management plan.

The mobile carriage allows the unit to be quickly moved wherever needed.

used exclusively for storing wood pellets, which are a widely used biomass fuel in Europe,” explained John Ramer, Director of Terminal Services. “The facility receives about 30,000 metric tonnes of pellets each month by rail car, creating stockpiles more than 100ft wide at the base, with an enormous potential for dust,” he said.

To control the inevitable dust from three front loaders with 10-yard buckets feeding a 600ft conveyor and then dumping such a huge volume of pellets into a ship’s hold, Ramer knew that he’d need specialized equipment designed

specifically for that purpose. “If the pellets get wet, they tend to crumble, so we had to avoid spraying any water down into the hold,” he added.

Operators chose a mid-sized atomized mist cannon.

“Once we started working, we aimed the plume of water mist into the dust cloud, and it made an immediate difference,” Ramer said.

He estimated that dock workers can load about 1,000 metric tonnes of material per hour. Port officials reported that the equipment has been very efficient, helping to protect ambient air quality and prevent negative effects on workers, as well as local residents and manufacturing operations.

As it happened, shortly after implementing atomized mist, the port got a visit from the Department of Environmental Protection. The agency representative was impressed with the particle control methods at the site and departed without issuing any notices or warnings about dust.

CONCLUSION Ports that create a comprehensive dust management plan are better equipped for clean, sustainable operations. These plans generally involve a thorough assessment of logistical throughput, revealing where dust emissions originate and identifying other potential issues that need to be addressed.

For port operators, changes in weather, varying materials and strict air quality standards can be difficult to traverse, but with the right dust control technology and approach, each unique situation has a solution. Contacting a dust control specialist from a reputable company to help with the dust management plan and customized solution is a good first step.

Bulk loading equipment to minimize dust and spillage, improve safety and performance A few of the more challenging topics with shiploading are demurrage, environmental compliance and regulatory pressure, maintenance and cleanup, writes Greg Bierie – technology specialist, Benetech Global.

Benetech uses its ‘Toolbox approach’ to ensure continuous material flow that will minimize dust and spillage, maintenance made easy and safety by design for bulk material handling operations.

The conveyor system is the lifeline of shiploading operations. There are many facets of the systems including storage and reclaim as well as transfer and loading to be considered. Interruption or marginal performance can have major negative effects. In addition these systems need to operate safely and provide the capability to maximize production in sensitive environmental conditions.

The transfer chutes are critical to meeting production and throughput goals.

Benetech is the largest North American provider of fully engineered transfer chutes. A properly designed chute can ensure maximized throughput without plugging or buildup inside the chute work.

In addition, it has been shown that 85% of the dust and spillage in conveyor system is generated at the transfer points. Discreet element modelling, combined with experience in design and material flow, combines the elements of art and science.

Airflow analysis is a key element of properly designed chutes as well. The goals of a properly designed chute are to: v provide a concentrated material stream to minimize air entrainment and displacement; v ensure a continuous flow, soft loading and centre loading; v eliminate spillage and dust; v be easy to service externally; MaxZone Plus load zone insert with ‘easy service’ load zone containment components.

v offer safety by design.

Industries served with above technology include petcoke, wood pellets, industrial minerals and taconite, grain and fertilizer products.

Not all applications require a fully engineered chute. Low headroom or short drop height transfers can also benefit from improved flow and material control along with containment. The MaxZone Plus adjustable insert is another option to improve system performance and reduce dust and spillage. Adjustability of the loading spoon in these applications can also provide flexibility in changing ambient conditions or variable material characteristics. This technology allows for easy retrofit modification of existing systems due to modular construction. It also offers external serviceability to minimize downtime and improve safety by

eliminating the need for confined space entry or hot work.

The loadzone is a critical element of the transfer point system to ensure material containment and to ensure that airflow issues are properly addressed to eliminate spillage and dust. A properly designed loadzone will reduce housekeeping and keep workers safe by minimizing work near dangerous rolling components. Statistics have shown that 83% of serious injuries and fatalities occur among maintenance workers exposed to the terminal areas of conveyor systems (transfer points and load zones). This is also a critical area to ensure that compliance with regulatory guidelines for dust and spillage is maintained. Modular designs with bolted connections allow for ease of service while eliminating the need for hot work in the field. More importantly, a modular design allows for easy modification to ensure airflow parameters are maintained in situations where production rate increases or changing bulk materials being handled over time may require system modification to address changing needs.

KEEPING IT CLEAN

ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS

In some bulk loading operations it is necessary to maintain very clean belts. This can be especially true in operations where the same conveyor belt handles a variety of materials which must not be ‘cross contaminated’. Other drivers to maintain clean belts include environmental concerns over carryback and material accumulation over waterways or sensitive environmental areas. The Benetech ‘Washbox’ offers exceptional protection with dual manifold washing capability to ensure clean belts.

The Benetech philosophy is products designed by plant professionals — for plant professionals. Easy service by one person without hot-work or confined space entry is a primary consideration of its ‘Safety by Design’ approach to better engineering controls. Instead of overdesign, Benetech offers a ‘better’ design to minimize downtime, improve safety, and modular construction to provide options for future expansion and easy installation without having to tear out and start over. This allows end users to choose only what their particular requirements require without additional or un-needed costs. The modules focus on bolted construction to eliminate the need for hot work in the field.

Robust design ensures long service life.

CUSTOMERS

Donaldson pioneered a revolutionary connected monitoring service — the Donaldson iCue Connected Filtration Service — which monitors industrial dust collectors digitally, eliminating the need to manually check readings, whilst delivering data directly. This helps users reduce unplanned downtime, support efficient maintenance and operation, and capture compliance data. Results can be read remotely from a distance from the dockside via mobile phone, laptop or tablet. iCue includes a variety of sensors to track performance metrics. Machine data from each connected device is sent to Donaldson’s secure cloud, where it is translated into actionable insights that users can be viewed on an easy-to-navigate dashboard. The web-based display shows the status of all dust collection equipment across a company’s facilities and allows alarm levels and notifications to be easily configured.

Quarré said: “iCue offers an important value proposition to our customers as it offers preventative maintenance, which is critical for this sector. Filter failure is very costly and a massive risk on docks leading to unnecessary downtime. But if a ship is

ALL-ROUND GLOBAL EXPERTISE FOR Quarré commented: “What we find integrators appreciate most about Donaldson is we have an all-round expertise. We know the application, we have expert people and engineers that design the right solution in size, and type of equipment. We understand their needs and design the right equipment for it. It’s not just the equipment but this level of expertise which makes a difference with our competitors.”

Another advantage Donaldson offers its customers is its global network of resellers and partners that are fully trained and ready at short notice to fit and maintain Donaldson equipment.

Thibaut Quarré said: “We have a truly global network — so say for example, we have a customer in Jordan who says ‘this week I need a technician on site to serve my dust collector’ then we have the network in place to provide that to the customer.

“A lot of our OEMs and integrators buy this equipment then ship it abroad, so if they send it to say for example, Mexico, we then have the support in that country, so we can give the customer the total lifecycle DCi experience.”

Bulk handling experts join forces to provide ‘one-stop-shop’ With the formation of a new partnership combining the engineering design expertise of Ashton Bulk and bespoke manufacturing experience of Advanced Actuators, Chris Woodhead, managing director of Advanced Actuators, explains the demand for a fullservice solution that led to them joining forces.

PERFECT PARTNERS “Having previously worked with Ashton Bulk to successfully deliver a number of

projects, together we identified a gap in the market for a ‘one-stop-shop’ where established contractors, and increasingly end users, could get their bulk handling equipment designed, manufactured and tested at the same place and from an organization which was small enough to offer a personal, focused service and wasn’t adverse to visiting remote or far-flung locations to provide the best service possible,” Woodhead explained.

“We found that the two businesses

complemented each other perfectly with the experienced design team at Ashton Bulk acting as the brains behind the partnership, while we provided the muscle in the form of hard-wearing, bespoke machinery.”

MACHINE MATTERS Advanced Actuators has been supplying actuators, control solutions and hydraulic components to niche markets such as oil and gas, nuclear, power, water and bulk

material handling since 1969. It specializes in providing robust and long-lasting equipment for some of the toughest industrial conditions and in the most remote locations.

It is now one of the world’s foremost manufacturers of electro-hydraulic engineering of standard and tailor-made actuators, serving clients in the Middle East, Far East, Australia and Europe, building a reputation on being both aware and adaptable to marketplace developments and delivering to short lead times.

Ashton Bulk was established in 2010 by managing director, Joe Dudman, but the experience of the team stretches back to the 1970s.

Ashton Bulk’s services include engineering design, quality control, project management and the supply of high capacity, bespoke medium to heavy engineering solutions. For five decades, the company has specialized in bulk materials and handling with the design of wagon tippler-based train-unloading systems including high capacity, multi wagon unit train systems.

Further wagon tippler unloading system designs and equipment have been supplied for two high-capacity iron ore and coal plants in South Africa which have benefited from Ashton Bulk’s and Advanced Actuators’ innovative approach to the design of materials handling equipment, drawing on experience in other engineering sectors to modernize designs including aerospace, nuclear and the utilities sector.

During the last ten years, Ashton Bulk has provided train unloading system and stockyard machine designs for the supply by local partners over 60 systems, all

working to the required performance requirements and customer satisfaction.

Most recent developments include Ashton Bulk supplying the design of an independently developed high-capacity wagon tippler to a major export facility in Saldanha Bay in South Africa. This is based on a new structural concept to provide a service life of a guaranteed five million unloading actions, the equivalent of around 20–25 years; this by far exceeds the life of any tippler currently in service worldwide.

This design was audited for the national port and transportation department of the

client by World Crane Services. The concept is available for ready adaptation for consideration at all high-capacity rail unloading facilities worldwide, particularly where the unloading rates demand the use of multi-wagon tipplers in locations such as Western Australia, West and Southern Africa, China, North and South America.

“We believe there is great potential for this kind of combined service to grow in the coming years where customers not only have one design and manufacture team, but one contract and one point of invoicing,” concludes Woodhead.

In mid-September this year, the TAKRAF Group showcased its global offering at MINExpo 2021 in Las Vegas — including equipment for the bulk handling stockyard.

Buoyed by recent success, TAKRAF Group approached MINExpo INTERNATIONAL 2021 eager to ask one question — what’s next for the global mining industry? TAKRAF Group hosted its engineering and service experts from across the continent, ready to engage with attendees regarding challenges faced by the modern mining sector, as renewed interest spurns investment in the Americas and elsewhere.

The group has three major projects ongoing or recently concluded in the Americas — two in the US and one in Mexico. Each project, TAKRAF says, leverages the group’s global expertise in engineering solutions for greenfield and brownfield developments, as well as in providing design, design/supply and turnkey execution strategies.

In the US, and despite the constraints of Covid-19, TAKRAF designed and supplied a materials handling system for a greenfield Hot-Briquetted Iron (HBI) plant, which commenced production in 4Q 2020. A

In order to achieve controlled and consistent flow on conveyors handling large volumes of bulk material, transfer chutes and vessels must be designed not just to accommodate — but to actually facilitate — the flow of the cargo they will be handling.

Unfortunately, because so many conditions can hamper effective cargo flow, engineering a conveyor and chutework that would handle every material situation is virtually impossible.

Even modest changes in moisture content can cause adhesion to chute or vessel walls or agglomeration at low temperatures, especially if the belt is stagnant for any period of time.

Even during continuous operation, a bulk material can become compressed, and physical properties often change due to natural variations in the source deposits, suppliers or specifications, or if the material has been in storage. If left to build up, material can encapsulate belt cleaners and deposit harmful carryback onto the return

promote the transport of materials through a chute or vessel, controlling dust and spillage. Flow aids come in a variety of forms, including rotary and linear vibrators, high- and low-pressure air cannons and aeration devices, as well as low-friction linings and special chute designs to promote the efficient flow of bulk materials. These modular systems can be combined in any number of ways to complement one another and improve performance. The components can be used for virtually any bulk material or environment, including hazardous duty and temperature extremes.

One of the primary advantages is that an operation can obtain a level of control over the material flow that is not possible any other way.

When employing flow aids, it’s critical that the chute and support components are sound and the flow aid be properly sized and mounted, because the operation of these devices can create potentially damaging stress on the structure. A properly designed and maintained chute will not be damaged by the addition of correctly sized and mounted flow aids.

It’s also important that any flow aid device be used only when discharges are open and material can flow as intended.

The best practice is to use flow aids as a

needed to control buildup and clogging.

AIR CANNONS One solution for managing material accumulation in chutes and vessels is the low-pressure air cannon, originally developed and patented by Martin

Engineering in 1974. Also known as an ‘air blaster’, it uses a plant’s compressed air to deliver an abrupt discharge to dislodge the buildup. Cannons can be mounted on metallic, concrete, wood or rubber surfaces. The basic components include an air reservoir, fast-acting valve with trigger

proactively include the mountings in new designs so that future retrofit can be done without hot work permits or extended downtime. A new technology has even been developed for installing air cannons in high-temperature applications without a processing shutdown, allowing speciallytrained technicians to mount the units on furnaces, preheaters, clinker coolers and in other high-temperature locations while production continues uninterrupted.

ENGINEERED VIBRATION The age-old solution for breaking loose blockages and removing accumulations from chutes and storage vessels was to pound the outside of the walls with a hammer or other heavy object. However, the more the walls are pounded, the worse the situation becomes, as the bumps and ridges left in the wall from the hammer strikes will form ledges that provide a place for additional material accumulations to start.

A better solution is the use of engineered vibration, which supplies energy precisely where needed to reduce friction and break up a bulk material to keep it moving to the discharge opening, without damaging the chute or vessel. The

technology is often found on conveyor loading and discharge chutes, but can also be applied to other process and storage vessels, including silos, bins, hoppers, bunkers, screens, feeders, cyclones and heat exchangers.

There is another innovative solution that prevents carryback from sticking to the rear slope of a discharge chute. The live bottom dribble chute uses material disruption to reduce friction and cause tacky sludge and fines to slide down the chute wall and back into the main discharge flow. By addressing these issues, operators can experience a reduction in maintenance hours, equipment replacement and downtime, lowering the overall cost of operation.

Flow aid devices deliver force through the chute or vessel and into the bulk material. Over time, components will wear, or even break, under normal conditions.

Most of these devices can be rebuilt to extend their useful life. Because clearances and fits are critical to proper operation, it’s recommended that flow aid devices be rebuilt and repaired by the manufacturer, or that the manufacturer specifically train plant maintenance personnel to properly refurbish the equipment.

ENGINEERING & EQUIPMENT

mechanism and a nozzle to distribute the air in the desired pattern to most effectively clear the accumulation.

The device performs work when compressed air (or some other inert gas) in the tank is suddenly released by the valve and directed through an engineered nozzle, which is strategically positioned in the chute, tower, duct, cyclone or other location. Often installed in a series and precisely sequenced for maximum effect, the network can be timed to best suit individual process conditions or material characteristics. The air blasts help break down material accumulations and clear blocked pathways, allowing solids and/or gases to resume normal flow. In order to customize the air cannon installation to the service environment, specific air blast characteristics can be achieved by manipulating the operating pressure, tank volume, valve design and nozzle shape.

In the past, when material accumulation problems became an issue, processors would have to either limp along until the next scheduled shutdown or endure expensive downtime to install an air cannon network. That could cost a business hundreds of thousands of dollars per day in lost production. Many designers

BEUMER Group provides engineering of stockpiles for the coal industry PERFECT FOR COAL STORAGE Hard coal is temporarily stored in stockpiles and then continuously fed to be processed, as needed. The design of the depositories must ensure constant filling and reliable emptying. The required capacity is determined based on the incoming and outgoing conveying flow.

Different stacking and reclaiming options as well as various layouts for the stockpiles are also needed. BEUMER Group provides the engineering for handling stockpiles and offers the required components to coal mine operators, such as stackers and reclaimers.

The Prairie Eagle Mine in Illinois is the largest coal mine of Knight Hawk Coal. It produces approximately five million tonnes of coal annually, of which more than 80% is processed and delivered in Prairie Eagle (all photos: BEUMER Group GmbH & Co. KG).

CIRCULAR OR LONGITUDINAL STOCKPILE? Depending on the customer, stockpile dimensions and design can vary. Two layouts are generally available: circular and longitudinal. “Their dimensioning and design depend on the purpose of the stockpile,” describes Prevedello.

Space availability and possible future expansions are also critical factors.

The application must also be considered: does the customer want to store the bulk material temporarily, then continuously feed it for further processing, like Knight Hawk? “Then longitudinal stockpiles are your best choice,” says Prevedello. They can also be extended, if necessary.

The irregular flow of bulk material arrives at the stockpile and can then be continuously introduced to the process.

Circular stockpiles are frequently used for other bulk materials as well, e.g. for limestone, clay. This is particularly used by cement manufacturers and power plant operators.

But back to coal. Once the layout of the stockpile has been decided on, the next task is to stack the bulk material efficiently. BEUMER Group also provided these necessary components such as the stacker.

Management was looking for a more sustainable operating solution.

“We provided an overland conveyor that transports the coal from the mine to the main processing plant,” describes Prevedello. “Our conveyor helps the company to considerably reduce its ecological footprint. With this technology, Knight Hawk can significantly reduce its long-term environmental impact compared to using truck transportation.” BEUMER Group not only supplied the conveying solution. As a system supplier, the company also supported the mining group in building a stockpile for hard coal.

“The requirements for storing coal are obviously very different from other materials,” explains Prevedello. Some of the important requirements are changing if the stockpile is covered and if explosion-proof specific equipment is needed. Hard coal is very susceptible to spontaneous combustion, which is why the height of the stockpile must be in certain cases limited.

slewing motion, in circular stockpiles the stacker moves in a circulating and luffing motion.

IT DEPENDS ON THE METHOD

“The perfect system solution is always an optimal relation between stacker and reclaimer,” explains Prevedello. Reclaimers such as side reclaimers or bucketwheel remove the material, as necessary. The best option for the customer depends again on the stockpiling task at end. Side reclaimers work for both types of stockpiles, longitudinal or circular. The bulk material can be reclaimed from the front or the side.

When reclaiming from the side, scraper chains move the material on a belt conveyor. Front reclaiming usually uses a rake that in small side-to-side movements pushes the material on a scraper chain to be transported further to the conveyor.

The advantage is that the bulk material is

The stacking method of choice depends on whether the bulk material is only temporarily stored or if it also needs to be blended. “For simple stockpiling without blending, we provided with the simple ‘cone shell method’,” describes Prevedello. The stacker only moves up and down, not slew.

The stacker design can be more simpler.

This method works for longitudinal as well as circular stockpiles.

For blending the bulk material however, the Chevron method can be used. The boom of the stacker starts in its lowest position. The first row is deposited in the centre of the stockpile, the next rows are layered on it. In longitudinal stockpiles, the stacker usually moves in a tilting and

reclaimed from the entire cross-sectional area. Bucketwheels are used in particular when the bulk material, especially in large quantities, needs to be blended.

Each operator has their own very specific requirements on the stockpile and stockyard machines. This is shown in a project that the BEUMER engineers are currently implementing for a customer in the energy industry. The order includes the delivery of several conveyors, including pipe conveyors, and a shiploader. The challenge: “On the ground where we will install our solution, there can be violent gusts of wind,” reports Prevedello. “That’s why we pay special attention to the dimensioning of the steel structure.” The system provider will thus be able to hand over a tailor-made system to the customer, with investment expenditure tailored precisely to him.

Biomass — the sustainable solution handling ever-growing biomass cargoes as the world adapts for a greener future

Port of Belledune wood pellet exports exceed forecasts — and support UK The world’s understanding of biomass as a resource for energy needs is evolving every day, with most seeing it as a stepping stone to a more sustainable future. The Port of Belledune in Canada began shipping wood pellets, one of the most well-known biomass products, over a decade ago. Used in industrial furnaces overseas, the port has been actively supporting the United Kingdom (UK) as it transitions to cleaner fuel sources. Currently the top biomass exporter in Atlantic Canada, the port has shipped a total of 179,386 metric tonnes this year as of 31 August 2021. In fact, the

total wood pellets exported in the first three quarters of 2021 has exceeded the total projected tonnage exported for all of 2021.

The port works closely with its stevedoring partner, QSL Canada Ltd., to serve the region’s top wood pellet producers with their biomass shipping needs: Groupe Savoie, Shaw Resources, JDI Irving, and Groupe de scieries (GDS Inc.).

Between these four clients, the port is anticipating exporting approximately 310,000 metric tonnes of wood pellets and approximately 200,000 metric tonnes of

wood chips, resulting in over 500,000 metric tonnes of forest products from New Brunswick being exported from the port in 2021. A large portion of this supply goes to end-user Drax Power, which operates the world’s largest biomass power station, and provides about 6% of the UK’s electricity supply.

Even more, the Port of Belledune and QSL Canada Ltd. have the ideal storage capabilities for their wood pellet clients.

With a total of four wood pellet warehouses, and a fifth near completion located right on multi-use Terminal 3, the

total storage capacity has increased to keep up with demand from 20,000 metric tonnes to 73,000 metric tonnes just in recent years.

Although the current biomass products travelling through the port are secured by companies overseas, the activity to get them to their end customers requires a lot of local participation. For example, the wood pellets travel from the supplier to the Port by local trucking companies. Each truck carries an average of 32 metric tonnes of pellets, which would equal

wood pellets or wood chips onto vessels by using efficient portable conveyors.

The Belledune Port Authority (BPA) has also undertaken a multi-year Master Development Planning process, which will result in an identified path for the port and the region over the next 30–50 years. The port’s long-term plans will focus on the how to become more environmentally friendly and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from port operations and through its partners’ operations.

Additionally, the planning will look to how biomass products could potentially play a part in that journey. For example, Drax was once a coal-fired power station that converted to wood pellets and reduced its emissions by more than 80%. The solution approximately 6,250 trucks from the province to move 200,000 metric tonnes of wood pellets!

There is no question that the biomass industry plays a significant role not only for the province of New Brunswick, but for Canada as a whole. Canadian wood pellets are of the highest quality and the success of the Port of Belledune’s operations is due in part to its reputation for producing a firstrate product for customers everywhere.

The port is proud to be able to ship wood pellets knowing that they are produced entirely from the residuals of sustainably managed forests. Canada has some of the most stringent regulations and certifications in the world to ensure that the biomass being produced can remain sustainable, renewable, and an important piece in the bioenergy sphere.

The port is now in the process of an upgrading and expansion project that will see the infilling of space between its two multi-use terminals (3 & 4). The results of this project will allow for easier loading of

The BPA is committed to being not only a part of the solution, but being a leader in identifying and providing environmentally sustainable energy solutions to the world.

Reliable biomass handling at port terminals

Fig. A: Unloading material from ship to a hopper at a port terminal.

As utilization of various types of biomass is increasing, transferring biomass by oceangoing vessels is becoming more common, writes Dr. Jayant Khambekar, Jenike & Johanson. For materials like wood pellets, shipping has been going on for many years now. Wood pellets are relatively more free-flowing compared to their cousins, woodchips. However, wood chips have also joined the list now, with large ocean-going vessels carrying wood chips to their destination. As such, it is important to understand fundamentals about flow behaviour of challenging biomass materials like wood chips at your port terminals.

Some plants or facilities rely on milling the as-received wood chips to get to their desired particle size whereas other plants receive wood chips with the desired/final particle size. Accordingly, the particle size of wood chips received at the port can vary quite a bit. In addition, depending on how long the wood chips were kept outdoors prior to shipping affects their moisture content. As such, wood chips flow behaviour can vary, depending on variations in particle size and moisture content.

Typically, upon arrival at port, a ship unloading system is used to withdraw biomass from the ship hull. Often, grabs or clamshells are used, which are operated by cranes to unload the material. Then, typically the material is discharged into a large surge hopper with a screw feeder or a belt feeder arrangement underneath. This feeder transfers biomass onto a set of belt conveyors, which typically carry the material to the warehouse or storage area.

It is important to understand fundamentals of flow behaviour through a hopper/feeder system. Given the large spread usage of hoppers and feeders in various industries, Dr. Andrew Jenike realized the need for developing a systematic approach for designing hoppers

and feeders to achieve reliable flow behaviour.

His research led to development of new test methods which provide basis to achieve reliable flow, commonly known as “mass flow design of hoppers”. Dr. Jenike’s test methods as well as his theory for mass flow design have enjoyed worldwide support and are still in use today. These methods form the foundations of the testing, analysis, design and engineering services offered by Jenike & Johanson, Inc. To describe the basics of flow behaviour in a nutshell, there are two primary flow patterns that can develop in a hopper: funnel flow and mass flow. Both patterns are shown in Fig. B. In funnel flow, an active flow channel forms above the outlet, with non-flowing material at the periphery. As the level of material in the hopper decreases, layers of

the non-flowing material may or may not slide into the flowing channel, which can result in the formation of stable ratholes.

In addition, funnel flow can cause caking, provides a first-in-last-out flow sequence, and increases the extent to which segregation impacts the discharging material.

In mass flow, all of the material is in motion whenever any is withdrawn from the hopper. Material from the centre as well as the periphery moves toward the outlet. Mass flow hoppers provide a firstin-first-out flow sequence, eliminate stagnant material and ratholing, reduce sifting segregation, and provide a steady discharge with a consistent bulk density and a flow that is uniform and wellcontrolled. Requirements for achieving mass flow include sizing the outlet large enough to prevent arching and ensuring the

The flow behaviour of wood chips can vary, depending on variations in particle size and moisture content.

direction of material flow to ensure material withdrawal from the entire hopper outlet area.

Today, based on the foundations laid by Dr. Jenike, Jenike & Johanson continues to grow providing various services associated with the design of hoppers and feeders as well as other bulk material handling equipment such as transfer chutes, pneumatic conveying lines, etc.

Jenike & Johanson has developed proven ways to design material handling equipment that will promote reliable, smooth and

unrestricted flow of bulk materials. Bulk materials handling equipment design should not be a trial-and-error approach; Jenike & Johanson doesn’t guess at material properties, it measures them. The company has the largest and most complete laboratory in the world for characterizing the flow properties of bulk solids under representative environmental conditions.

For over 50 years, Jenike & Johanson has focused on developing first principle theories on bulk solids flow and conveying behaviour.

ENGINEERING & EQUIPMENT

hopper walls are sufficiently smooth and steep enough to promote flow along them.

Modifying existing hoppers to be completely mass flow prevents ratholing and stagnant material. This improvement can be accomplished in existing hoppers by changing the hopper design and/or adding liners that are less frictional.

Even in a mass flow hopper design, the hopper outlet size must be sufficiently large to ensure that arching is not a concern. For biomass materials, such arching can occur due to presence of fines and moisture, which increase cohesiveness of the material. In addition, biomass materials are often prone to interlocking and nesting behaviours, which also result in arching and stoppage of material flow from hopper. To avoid such flow stoppage, one should use data obtained from thorough characterization of the biomass sample. It is important to conduct the tests on representative sample(s) of the biomass material to evaluate flow behaviour, including the interlocking and nesting tendencies.

The feeder below the hopper also plays a key role in achieving reliable flow behaviour from the system. Feeder design must provide increasing capacity in the

OPPORTUNITIES IN THE WOOD ENERGY SECTOR

Wood is the foremost source of renewable energy used in France, where the resource is abundant. It represents over 40% of renewable energies in France. Wood energy is thus expected to contribute greatly to French energy and climate objectives (ADEME).

The wood energy sector is growing and demand is increasing, be it for boilers (pellets), heat production (agricultural greenhouses), or electricity. The sector is getting organized to improve logistics and become competitive to make maritime flows possible.

Wood energy accounts for 80% of renewable heat. Producing heat is the main output for wood energy as it is used in

various forms (logs, briquettes, chips, pellets).

The consumption of pellets in France is predominantly national, with some smallvolume import/export with neighbouring countries. Pellet-type wood biomass is a low-density bulk product suited to massivescale modes of transport.

The government’s ban on installing new oil boilers from 2022 raises the question of alternative energies.

In the context of energy transition, it is, naturally, renewable energies that must answer the call.

DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES

All the assets are present at Port of Bordeaux to welcome new industrial players and achieve these developments. DCi

OCTOBER 2021

Nouvelle-Aquitaine has significant biomass resources with the largest cultivated forest in Europe. As such, there is no need to import in the short or medium term.

However, there may be export/cabotage opportunities for the port of Bassens to supply regions with less cultivated forest resources.

The five vessels planned for Bassens in 2020 were in fact delivered despite the Covid-19 crisis.

As such, development potential for the future for port of Bordeaux could be: v development of exports to other clients in countries; and v potential to develop a new branch activity for exporting solid recovered fuels (SRF).

www.drycargomag.com

Beyond agricultural bulk, the major bulk challenge for the Port of Bordeaux in France is to recover and develop the volumes generated by all niche dry bulk by providing a suitable and high-quality offering where storage plays a prominent role.

An energy recovery sector that involves using the calories contained in waste by burning them and recovering the energy produced, biomass is part of the GPMB 2021–25 Strategic Project among the forward-looking sectors.

This is why the port has committed to renovating and standardizing the hangars at the Bassens terminal, hangars 45, 43, and 42bis, from the start of 2022.

These investments are an initial response to the needs of the various existing and future sectors at the Port of Bordeaux and in the hinterland, if necessary.

These works will expand the classes of products that can be stored in the hangars and will guarantee better storage and handling conditions for goods (2022).

This challenge is crucial because storage activity — indispensable for the volumes generated by biomass — is a link in the logistics chain associated with goods. The challenge for the shipper is to minimize their costs while maintaining a reactive and fluid logistics chain.

There are also investments being carried out on the Bordeaux Operation terminal (BOP) facility, a GPMB subsidiary specialized in handling. The acquisition of a Mantsinen 300 crane (the largest material handling crane model on the market) sends a strong signal as to the ambitions of GPMB in the dry bulk sector.

It is a hydraulic engine crane for multibulk operations at Upper Bassens, which will strengthen the existing crane fleet at the Port of Bordeaux. The machinery is

Berg propels direct-drive concept with The Switch technology at its core Berg Propulsion MD Jonas Nyberg says its revolutionary Twin Fin direct-drive electrical propulsion system is ‘a premium solution for forward-thinking owners committed to energy efficiency’.

Yaskawa Environmental Energy/The Switch’s cooperation with the system integrator Berg Propulsion on its Twin Fin diesel-electric direct-drive solution is a great example of a win-win partnership at a time when collaboration between OEMs and suppliers is critical in providing greener power solutions to reduce emissions from shipping while ensuring long-term gains for owners.

The Twin Fin is currently being installed in a self-unloading bulker being built in China and featuring a large internal MaKpowered variable-speed plant to meet high energy demand for propulsion, cargo handling and other vessel operations.

The Switch is delivering permanent magnet (PM) propulsion machines, PM generators, DC-Hubs, Electronic Bus Links (EBLs) and Electronic DC Breakers (EDCBs) for the vessels as part of the environmentally friendly concept, for which Berg has a patent pending.

“Developing a complex package requires a lot of trust and transparency between partners. We have a very tight relationship with The Switch, whose PM machines and power electronics are at the heart of the system. The result is a winning solution that ensures optimal energy supply and perfectly aligns with our shared belief that technology can assure a cleaner future for shipping,” says Nyberg.

Twin Fin provides both increased cargo capacity usually associated with thrusters and the reliability and safety afforded by conventional propellers. Delivering higher thrust performance but with decreased energy consumption and emissions, it’s a real game-changer for the industry offering superior efficiency and reliability. And reliability means optimal uptime.

SAFE AND VERSATILE Nyberg adds that Twin Fin is tougher, as the motor is in a safer location than podded propulsors, where motors are directly in the pod. Twin Fin is like an advanced version of the twin-skeg forming an integrated part of the hull. Putting the machinery space in the fins also allows greater flexibility in hull design. “Electrical podded propulsors may have a higher degree of manoeuvrability but are less efficient than our solution due to the inherently high rpms and small propeller

diameter.

Azipod electrical podded propulsors are also less robust. Our solution is more cost effective, while the fins are also more hydrodynamic than bulbous pods,” he says. In addition, almost all maintenance can be performed with the ship in the water.

Nyberg notes that a key disadvantage of electrical podded propulsors is that the units can rotate 360°. This puts limitations on the maximum propeller diameter. But with Twin Fin, there’s no restriction on propeller size. Propeller size is directly linked to efficiency — the larger, the better.

It gives the freedom both to optimally position the propellers and have an enormous-diameter propeller.

PMS DELIVER PEAK PERFORMANCE Berg selected The Switch’s technology to ensure peak performance. There’s also the significance of direct drive versus the traditional gearbox concept. This is where The Switch’s highly efficient PM motors — which capture electrical energy and convert it into green mechanical power — really come into their own as integrated parts of the concept.

Traditional diesel-electric drive trains have a linear motor-gearbox-propeller shaft arrangement with a lot of mechanical components but using a compact directdrive PM motor eliminates the gearbox and the need to drive the propeller shaft directly. The PM motor stator is fixed to the hull, fully surrounding the rotor with only an air gap in between. This drastically reduces the number of components

required, and that reduces the risk of mechanical issues.

Along with the PM generators, the drive train contains the bare minimum of moving parts. “All in all, it’s a very robust, elegant combination of proven technologies,” says Nyberg.

LEAN AND MEAN The Switch’s DC-Hubs, meanwhile, offer a flexible choice of power generation, energy storage, charging, propulsion and clean power, while the EBL links and protects them. Its unique ability to rapidly detect, cut and isolate any potential system error greatly increases redundancy. EDCBs are installed to protect individual frequency converters within the DC-Hubs.

“As our goal was to get every last ounce of efficiency out of every bit of equipment, we included The Switch’s DC-Hub power distribution to create the leanest possible system,” says Nyberg. DC grids are typically associated with intelligent power management and enabling fuel-efficient, variable engine speed at all load levels. It is highly flexible, maximizes the efficiency of the engine and minimizes losses throughout the electrical system. The DC solution is lighter and takes up less space than a component-heavy AC set-up. Running together with a PM solution, the losses are even smaller. The technology has also been straightforward to integrate, as it’s been specifically tailored for marine.

BROAD TARGET MARKET Nyberg stresses that direct drive is a

for example, offshore vessels and icebreakers in terms of design flexibility, versus, for example, single-screw tankers where it’s more natural for the machinery to be inside the hull.

Twin Fin is also designed to be easily retrofitted with limited downtime. “The Twin Fin units are prefabricated, allowing rapid installation. It took just 45 days for us to retrofit the first installation on the seismic survey vessel Polarcus Naila,” says Nyberg.

“Seismic vessels are a demanding application with full power needed 24/7; without it, your streamers sink to the bottom.

Whereas the owner had previously had reliability issues with another propulsion maker’s azimuth propellers, with our solution, we increased efficiency by over 25%.”

Although Nyberg believes there will still be room in the market for electrical-pod concepts, he is confident Berg can capture the market where reliability and efficiency are paramount.

INDUSTRY EMBRACES CHANGE The role of emissions, legislation and financial stability is focusing industry awareness on the importance of ship design and early-stage equipment selection in lowering OpEx. Before, there were practically no rules governing design for environmental efficiency, and most time and energy went into the true purpose of the vessel in terms of cargo factors, now we have EEDI/EEXI applying both to new and old ships. Shipping is rapidly embracing this change with more time, energy and CapEx being invested at the outset to ensure an efficient product. Nyberg notes the efficiency difference of a brand-new optimized ship versus a vessel built even five or ten years ago is in the double digits.

“Projects like our direct-drive solution are key building blocks in the drive to enable a more responsible, sustainable and profitable industry, and I certainly believe the future belongs to efficient, space-saving technologies like The Switch’s PM machines and DC-Hub, with or without Twin Fin.”

premium solution for forward-thinking owners committed to energy efficiency.

“For demanding applications, it’s easy to quantify the advantages — again, efficiency and reliability. Lower maintenance and reduced OpEx are also deciding factors,” he says.

Berg is promoting the solution to all marine segments and is in talks with customers ranging from large cargoshipping companies to tanker owners looking to use alternative fuels and others focusing on all-electric vessels. “Our overall vision is to enable high-performance ships and legislation while increasing customers’ competitive edge,” says Nyberg.

He expects direct drive to become commonplace in the marine industry within five to ten years, either in combination with Twin Fin or inside the hull, depending on the vessel’s purpose.

Twin Fin is just one possibility but brings the additional benefits of unlimited propeller size and super-flexible machinery space. It’s a perfect fit for cargo ships and,

The main field of application for the integrated freewheels of the FXR family from RINGSPANN are the multiple drives of conveying, separating and crushing systems in bulk materials and mining technology. In order to give designers in these industries even more scope for the realization of safe and maintenance-friendly drive solutions in the future, the German freewheel specialist has now expanded this globally proven series with an innovative variant called FXRB. In addition to a torque limiter and a controllable release device, it excels with a new reverse running function. This considerably reduces the costs required for maintenance and clearance work.

RINGSPANN’s FXR freewheels are primarily used as backstops in the types of multiple drives that are typical for continuous conveyors, crushing mills, bucket elevators or dryer drums and screw pumps in bulk material, hydro, recycling and mining technology. In addition to the sprag lift-off X, the special quality features of these freewheels include torque limitation and — depending on the design — an integrated release device that can be controlled with great precision.

STAGGERED DISTRIBUTION OF HARMFUL

Including the new variant, RINGSPANN now offers a total of five designs of integrated freewheels for slip torques up to 107,000Nm in the FXR series, which can be used as backstops in multiple drives.

As indicated, they all have a torque limiter.

This allows the problem of an uneven distribution of the return torque in multiple drives — for example of continuous conveyors — to be solved very elegantly. Heubach explains: “Without torque limitation, the designer would for safety reasons have to design each backstop on each gearbox for the entire return torque of the conveyor system, as this would primarily act on only one backstop in the event of a system stop due to the different clearances and elasticities in the drives involved. The FXRs don’t even let this happen, because their torque limiters slip briefly when the set torque is exceeded until the other backstops successively engage.” This means the entire return torque of the system is distributed among the individual backstops of the gearboxes. In addition, the dynamic torque peaks are reduced during the locking process, so that all drive elements are protected against their damaging effect.

As a result, when using RINGSPANN’s FXR backstops, the gearboxes of multiple drive systems can be dimensioned smaller and more compact, which opens up further optimization potential for the system manufacturer.

INNOVATIVE REVERSE RUNNING FUNCTION The individual versions of the FXR series

The RINGSPANN sprag lift-off X is always used in freewheeling operation when the inner ring rotates at high speed in freewheeling operation and when in the overrunning function the driving operation is conducted at low speed. In freewheeling operation, the centrifugal force causes the sprags, which are manufactured in an X-like form, to lift off from the outer track. (image: RINGSPANN) from RINGSPANN are each offered as standard in ten sizes with bores from 65 to 240mm and are designed for front screw mounting on drive shafts. In addition to the common features of sprag lift-off X and torque limitation, they are available in variants with (FXRU) and without (FXRW), a release device, as well as in the new FXRB variant with a free reverse running function.

In the latest generation, all FXRs have high-performance carbon friction pads.

Compared to the organic friction linings used in the past, they enable significant torque increases and allow the outer diameters of the freewheels to be made smaller, which is why the FXRs are so compact. “For older applications, however, we still offer the old versions with the organic friction linings,” says Heubach.

If you ask the head of RINGSPANN’s freewheel division about the design refinements of the innovative reverse function of the new FXRB freewheels, he is understandably reserved. He does at least reveal that plain bearings — seen with other designs on the market — do not play a role here: “Plain bearings only enable short-term reverse movements of the system. We use a different bearing basis for the free reverse function of our FXBR,” says Heubach. It is also worth mentioning that the release device is purely mechanical as standard; however, a hydraulic release is offered as an option.

GLOBAL MARKET In addition to the catalogue selection of FXR freewheels available at short notice, RINGSPANN also produces special designs on customer request — for example for unusual bore dimensions or

special flanges.

Depending on the requirements and quantities, the RINGSPANN Group can harness the capacities of eight production plants worldwide.

“We view both the extensive international distribution of our FXR series and the new FXRB variant as proof of our market leadership in the global freewheel market and our positioning as a one-stop supplier for high-quality clutches and brakes in industrial drive technology,” emphasizes Heubach.

THE SPRAG LIFT-OFF X The sprag lift-off X is used in RINGSPANN backstops and overrunning clutches when in freewheeling operation the inner ring rotates at high speed and when in overrunning function the driving operation is carried out at low speed. In freewheeling operation, the centrifugal force causes the sprags, manufactured in an X-like form, to lift off from the outer track. The freewheel then works wear-free and with an unlimited service life. The sprags, which are supported in a cage connected with the inner ring, rotate with the inner ring. The centrifugal force turns the sprag counterclockwise and rests against the support rim of the cage, creating a gap between the sprag and the outer track; the freewheel therefore operates without contact.

If the inner ring speed now decreases to such an extent that the effect of the centrifugal force on the sprag is less than that of the spring force, the sprag against rests on the outer ring and ‘switches’ the freewheel to locked condition. Please note: if used as an overrunning clutch, the driving speed must not exceed 40% of the DCi lift-off speed.

NEW HIGHLY FLEXIBLE CHAINFLEX CABLE SAVES 40% SPACE IN THE E-CHAIN AND ENSURES RELIABLE ENERGY AND DATA TRANSMISSION

Small, compact and fast: these are the demands on the new generations of motors. To this end, more and more drive manufacturers are turning to hybrid technology to save space. Therefore, igus has now expanded its range of hybrid cables with a new cable especially for SEW motors with the MOVILINK DDI interface. Users in the material handling industry, for example, can rely on a durable cable specifically developed for e-chain applications.

Hybrid cables for drive technology are characterized by their ability to combine energy and data transmission in one cable.

The result: the number of cables required is halved. In the case of the new SEW motors with MOVILINK DDI interface, the drive manufacturer relies on a coaxial element for the data transmission of motor information . In order to be able to safely supply the compact motors with energy and data while they are in motion, igus has now developed a new hybrid cable. “The challenge with cables with coaxial elements is that they quickly become susceptible to faults at high dynamics. That is why we have made it our task to develop a durable and flexible cable that also functions reliably in motion,” says Andreas Muckes, Head of Product

With the new hybrid cable from igus for the SEWMOVILINK DDI interface, users save space at the motor and in the energy chain (source: igus GmbH).

Management chainflex cables at igus GmbH. To this end, the motion cable specialist can draw on its more than 20 years of expertise in the field of coaxial cables for highly dynamic applications. For the new hybrid cable CF280.UL.H207.D, four energy cores have now been combined with one coaxial core and two control pairs. By merging two cables into one, users can save 40% space in the energy chain. At the same time, the weight that has to be driven by the system is reduced, which means that less energy is consumed. The new cable with PUR outer jacket can be used for applications with a bending factor of up to 15xd and is therefore suitable for a wide range of industries: from machine tools and material

handling to the automotive industry.

28 CABLES FOR HYBRID TECHNOLOGY With 28 different cable types for motors from Siemens, Beckhoff, SEW and Bosch Rexroth, igus already has the largest portfolio of hybrid cables for the energy chain from stock. With the expansion of the CF280 series, igus is following the ongoing trend of hybrid technology. The cable specialist also offers its CF280 cable series with a PVC outer jacket as CF220.

In this way, additional costs can be reduced in the hybrid cable segment. The chainflex cables can be purchased harnessed or by the metre. As with all its cables, igus also provides a guarantee of up to 36 months on the new SEW hybrid cable.

NORDAC FLEX SK 205E — flexible for handling and positioning efficient synchronous motors is possible, as is the use of brake motors and encoder feedback, e.g. for position-controlled handling systems.

Also vertical movements, e.g. for lifting systems with higher performance requirements and loads can also be operated in the same system. All power and communication connections are optionally available as plug-in versions.

Options such as functional safety via PROFIsafe complete the package, making the NORDAC FLEX SK 205E a flexible all-rounder in this market segment.

CONTROL UP TO FOUR SYNCHRONIZED AXES

OCTOBER 2021

Due to the internal PLC and the POSICON position control for relative and absolute positioning, the NORDAC FLEX can synchronize several NORD drives in master-slave mode.

The integrated POSICON functionality ensures

that the inverters are able to determine the current position of the master drive and transmit it to the following slave axes as setpoint position. As a result, functions such as synchronized movement and ‘flying saw ‘can be executed quickly and precisely.

Up to three slave inverters can be controlled by one master inverter. A higher level control is not necessary.

NORD drives self-sufficiently ensure smooth processing in many different handling and positioning applications. DCi

Thanks to its wide selection of functions and direct mounting, on the drive or close to the drive, the decentralized NORDAC FLEX frequency inverter is especially suitable for positioning applications or moving and rotating tasks in handling technology.

NORDAC FLEX inverters are mounted directly on the motor or close to the motor. This means that only short motor and encoder cables as well as minimal length cabling for directly connected application sensors and actuators are required.

The installation topology provides for linear supplies for mains voltage, 24 V control voltage and field bus systems/Industrial Ethernet. With the NORDAC FLEX SK 205E, dynamic movements with short start/stop times or cyclic operation can be implemented thanks to high overload and optional braking resistors. The operation of highly
