Mixed prospects for grain and soya trade
facing commodity
into
economic activity. Growth prospects for global seaborne dry bulk trade have deteriorated accordingly, and a flat or possibly weaker period into 2023 now looks predictable.
A recent analysis by the OECD organization observes that “the global economy has lost momentum” amid inflation “reaching levels not seen since the 1980s”. Central banks have been forced into a rapid tightening of monetary policy, contributing to a pattern where “GDP growth has stalled in many economies and economic indicators point to an extended slowdown”. Accompanying weakness in China’s economy has also adversely affected international dry bulk commodity movements.
GRAIN & SOYA
Limited growth in the grain and soya sector during the twelve months ahead may be seen, based on the latest US Department of Agriculture estimates. Forecasts for the 2022/23 trade year now starting suggest that world trade in wheat, corn and other coarse grains, plus soyabeans and meal could increase slowly by about 5mt (million tonnes) or under 1%, reaching 666mt, after no growth in the preceding period.
A downturn in the soyabeans and meal segment could be reversed. As shown in table 1 world trade in 2021/22, which has just ended, fell by an
estimated 11mt or 5% to 218mt, mainly reflecting China’s 10mt reduction in imports. Over the next twelve months Chinese buyers’ demand is expected to recover while other importers could see growth, raising the world total by 6% to 230mt.
COAL
Several weakening performances among importing countries have been affecting seaborne coal trade recently, possibly preventing a global increase during 2022 as a whole or limiting it to a minimal percentage. Contrasting with a strong upwards trend in Europe’s import requirements amid the tight regional energy market, purchases by China have diminished.
During the first eight months of 2022, coal imports into China (including some overland movements) were down by 15% to 168mt based on official figures.
One influence was subdued energy demand while the economy remained sluggish. Coal production from domestic mines in the same period reportedly rose by 11%, reaching 2.93 billion tonnes, improving supplies. An increased contribution from renewable power generation was another influence.
IRON ORE
Fading optimism about iron ore trade growth in 2022 as a whole reflects prevailing steel output trends in the main raw materials importing countries and short term prospects for these. In a number of countries demand for the
products of industries using steel has been restrained by deteriorating economic activity.
In the January August period of this year, crude steel production within the European Union fell by 7% compared with the same months a year ago, to 95.3mt, based on World Steel Association data. Japan’s production was down by 5% at 60.7mt, while South Korea’s volume decreased by 3% to 46.0mt. In China, where signs of steel demand weakness have been prominent, mills produced 693.2mt, a 6% reduction.
MINOR BULKS
One of the minor bulk commodity trades likely to add substantial volumes this year is bauxite/alumina. The 2021 total is estimated at about 170mt, and some forecasts point to world seaborne movements rising by about 5% in 2022. Chinese imports, a major component of this segment, are expected to increase.
BULK CARRIER FLEET
Panamax ships (in the 65 99,999 deadweight tonnes size group used in statistics), including Kamsarmax vessels, comprise about a quarter of the world bulk carrier fleet. This segment grew by over 3% in 2021 to 236.6m dwt at yearend (2925 ships) according to Clarksons Research data, as shown in table 2. A similar percentage increase is estimated for this year, assuming slightly reduced newbuilding deliveries and continued low scrapping levels.

Putin wants to increase grain exports to poorer countries
Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, says that grain supplies should be increased to the poorest countries. He pointed out that exports from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus are currently being mediated by both Turkey and the United Nations.
“Our European partners have long been telling us about the need to resume supplies, including from Ukraine, and above all in the interests of the poorest countries,” he said.
According to him, of the first 87 vessels that had left Ukrainian ports carrying grain, 32 remained had remained in Turkey, three went to South Africa, three to Israel, seven
to Egypt, 30 to the European Union, and only two ships headed for countries that were receiving help under UN food programmes — Yemen and Djibouti. These latter two carried 60,000 tonnes of grain, or just 3% of the total.
Between May and August, the Russian Federation supplied 6.6mt (million tonnes) of wheat, barley and corn to world markets of which 6.3mt went to Asia, Africa and Latin America. This figure is expected to increase to 30mt by the end of the year, although could leap to 50mt if required.
In the same four-month period, Russia
also exported 7mt million tonnes of potash, nitrogen and compound, or mixed fertilizer, of which around 3mt went to Asia, Africa and Latin America.
“We can supply about 2mt of ammonia, which can be used to make large amounts of fertilizer, which in turn can be used to produce massive wheat crops,” he claimed.
The European Commission has lifted sanctions on the supply of Russian fertiliser, although this can only be bought by EU countries. Russia is prevented from selling fertilizer to developing economies via European ports, which Putin regards as an act of discrimination. Barry Cross
Russia threatens to pull out of Ukraine grain deal
The deal brokered in July this year to allow Ukraine to resume grain exports from Black Sea port is under threat, as Russia decides whether or not to pull out of the deal. The agreement paved the way for Ukraine to resume grain exports from Black Sea ports that had been under a Russian naval blockade since Moscow invaded Ukraine and for Russia to resume exports of its own grain and fertilizer.
Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, Gennady Gatilov, has warned that if the conditions set by the
Russian Federation are not met, Russia may refuse to renew the deal next month.
Moscow has reportedly delivered a list of complaints in a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, but declined to make public a copy of the letter.
During a call with French President Emmanuel Macron, Russian President Vladimir Putin complained that Western sanctions were hindering supplies of Russian food and fertilizers to Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East,
according to the Kremlin.
In an interview with Reuters, Gatilov said, “If we see nothing is happening on the Russian side of the deal – export of Russian grains and fertilizers – then excuse us, we will have to look at it in a different way,” he said.
Asked if Russia might withhold support for the grains deal's renewal over the concerns, he said: “There is a possibility... We are not against deliveries of grains but this deal should be equal, it should be fair and fairly implemented by all sides.”
Boosting Europe’s coal imports revival
Coal imports into European countries are likely to show another big annual increase in 2022, prolonging last year’s revival. After falling steeply when the pandemic weakened energy use, the recovery trend is being aided by tight energy markets across Europe. But longer-term restraining pressures, reflecting environmental influences, are widely expected to again become more visible in the fairly near future.
Although European coal imports are still well below the levels seen a few years ago, the total volume remains a sizeable part of the world coal market. As a result, numerous cargoes to destinations around the continent are carried by bulk carriers
of varying capacities. Related activity at many bulk commodity handling ports throughout the region, both in northern Europe and the Mediterranean is a feature.
Imports into the European Union plus United Kingdom during 2021 comprised about 7% of global seaborne coal trade. Steam coal, used mainly in power stations, comprises the largest proportion received, contributing about three-fifths of the European volume. Coking coal for steel industry use contributes the remainder. Positive influences were seen in both categories last year as the effects of the coronavirus pandemic receded, strengthen ing demand for the output of all industries consuming coal directly or indirectly.
The biggest individual coal importer is Germany, forming two-fifths of the regional volume as shown in the table. Other major individual buyers are France, Italy and Netherlands, together comprising over a quarter. The United Kingdom, formerly a top buyer, is now a minor player, and so is Spain. Closure of many or most coal-fired power stations has been instrumental.
SHAPING THE TREND
Europe’s coal consumption and imports are affected by the broad economic trends which have an impact on energy usage, while government environmental and energy policy pressures in recent years often have been a more prominent
influence. Currently, the European economy’s recovery from the pandemic recession is slowing. It has been tempered by adverse effects from the tightening energy market largely caused by natural gas supply shortfalls.
According to the latest outlook for the world economy published by the OECD organization in late September, gross domestic product in the eurozone group of countries could slacken from 5.2% last year to 3.1% in 2022. A further sharp deterioration to almost nil growth (+0.3%) next year is indicated as a possibility.
This bleak prediction for the period ahead emphasizes how the intense inflationary pressures exacerbated by higher energy prices is seen as damaging economic activity in all European countries. Energy demand is likely to reflect the downturn, leading to an overall weakening, but coal seems well placed to partly compensate for gas shortages, particularly in the power generation sector.
In the latest analysis, OECD economists point to “substantial uncertainty about the economic outlook, with significant downside risks”. A further comment is that across Europe “reducing energy consumption and diversifying supply sources will be critical to avoid shortages”.
The OECD sees a “full year recession in 2023” in many European countries as a possible outcome.
Coal consumption will depend upon how demand in the main consuming sectors — power stations and steel mills —progresses. Output trends in these sectors are likely to be adversely affected by the background of deteriorating economic activity. But steam coal usage

and import requirements seem set to benefit from the energy market’s difficulties which could continue into and perhaps through next year.
IMPORT PATTERNS
Coal imports into the European Union plus United Kingdom revived in 2021, reversing almost half of the previous year’s decline.
All the principal importing countries recorded increases last year. The 2022 pattern, based on the trend so far and signs of volumes in future months, suggests further large annual increases in most countries. Whether the trend will be sustained through 2023 is not so clear.
In 2021 imports of coal by sea into the EU+UK totalled 88mt (million tonnes), a rise of 18mt or 25% compared with the previous year, based on Clarksons Research data and Bulk Shipping Analysis calculations, summarized in the table. Especially notable growth was seen in Germany and Netherlands. The regional expansion followed a 39% fall in the total to 71mt during 2020.
Within the coking coal segment European imports plummeted to about 27mt in 2020, before rising by a fifth to 33mt last year. In the larger steam coal component a much greater fall to 43mt in 2020 was followed by a 28% rise to 56mt in 2021. Coking coal is an essential ingredient used in the production of steel by the blast furnace/pig iron process. Steam coal, especially the volumes used by power stations, can be substituted by other fuels or renewable energy.
EU+UK coal imports are now a diminished proportion of the world total at 7%, compared with about 12% of global seaborne trade five years ago. This region has been by far the weakest performer among the world’s major coal importers, mainly as a result of tougher European environmental policies than seen elsewhere.
Germany is still the largest coal buyer among individual European importers, even though its annual volume is well below that seen previously. Seaborne steam and coking coal received by German power stations, steel mills and other users totalled 52mt in 2016, comprising 36% of the EU+UK quantity. Last year’s 37mt total saw Germany retaining the biggest percentage share of the overall volume, at 42%.
Elsewhere in Europe, Spain’s steam coal imports declined steeply from over 16mt in 2017 to 3mt last year, as shown by the table. In Italy the overall steam and coking coal imports decline over the same period was from 16mt, to 8mt, while Netherlands saw a reduction from 14mt, to 10mt. France experienced a halving of annual overall coal imports to 7mt.
In the table category labelled ‘other EU+UK’ annual

Port and transshipment solutions CBG seriescoal imports fell by two-fifths during the 2017 to 2021 period, down to 22.3mt. One component, UK imports, had diminished by the end of the period to 4.6mt, down by a percentage similar to the change in the whole category.
As a geographical extension of the European area, Turkey is also a significant coal importer, receiving large annual volumes exceeding 25mt in recent years. The 2021 total was 25.7mt, similar to that of the previous twelve months and continuing a stable trend. Steam coal mainly for power station use is the chief component, comprising nearly four-fifths.
PROMINENT DRIVERS
A broad theme explaining reduced coal usage and imports in numerous European countries in recent years was extensive coal-fired power station closures. Many plants were closed or idled, or their capacity 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.
An accompanying trend was the rapid shift towards alternative energy sources. In particular, increasing availability of renewable energy supplies, especially windturbine generated electricity, was a prominent feature. The other main influence in the past two years was weakening coal consumption caused by the adverse effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on economic activity and overall energy demand, followed in 2021 by rebounding coal demand when economies and their energy markets started to recover as the pandemic receded.
Changes in domestic coal production volumes within Europe, another influence, now has only a limited impact on import demand because this output is relatively small. Closures of uneconomic mines in
recent years have been seen. 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 2021 Germany produced 126mt of lignite while hard coal output was nil. Poland’s production was 52mt lignite plus 55mt hard coal. There was also 1.1mt of UK hard coal output from remaining small mines. Elsewhere among EU importing countries domestic production was insignificant.
Consequently coal consumption trend changes have become the main influence affecting European countries’ purchases on the international market. Steel mills’ use of, and import demand for, coking coal remained fairly flat until the pandemic downturn and then revived, broadly reflecting steel production progress. In the steam coal segment, overall energy market changes often driven by government policy decisions are now the biggest influence on coal use and imports. The pandemic caused disruptions and, in 2021 and into this year shortages of natural gas exacerbated by the war in Ukraine have enhanced coal’s contribution.
Based on calculations by independent climate think tank Ember, electricity generation from coal in the European Union during 2021 contributed 15% of all electricity generated, three percentage points below the 2019 proportion but almost a third below the percentage in preceding years. Meanwhile renewables generation from wind, solar, hydro and biofuels has risen strongly.
These changes emphasize trend directions and longer term downwards
pressures on coal use in power stations. Energy usage patterns clearly were distorted by the exceptionally severe economic recession seen in Europe in 2020 which affected coal consumption. Over the following twelve months when a consumption revival was underway, energy market tightness began to have an upside impact on coal. Gas shortages multiplied into 2022 and the positive impact on coal was accentuated, despite a continuing shift towards cleaner energy supplies.
THE ROLE OF POLICIES
Within the European Union promoting cleaner energy resources and reducing air pollution is a long-established environ mental policy priority. Cutting greenhouse gas emissions drastically by decarbonizing energy-consuming activities is a central aim. One major focus has been coal-fired power stations, especially large-scale plants, many of which were phased-out. Substitution with gas-fired units, and intensive development of renewable energy — with wind power generation becoming a feature — has been evident.
How much coal is used is affected by policy measures agreed by EU member countries — the Emissions Trading Scheme, air pollution directives and renewable energy targets. The driver is an emphasis on sustainability, mitigating climate change in particular. More attention also has been given to other aspects such as energy security and industrial competitiveness.
Reflecting these influences coal now has a relatively low share of electricity generation in the EU, contributing only around one-seventh. According to energy company BP’s data the principle shares of EU electricity generation in 2021 comprised nuclear (25.3%) and renewables — wind and solar power — (25.2%). The remainder was comprised mostly of gas (18.9%), coal (15.2%) and hydro-electric (11.9%). But the renewables contribution is subject to considerable short-term variations and therefore is not entirely reliable, as it is dependent upon often unpredictable weather conditions.
In a number of European countries coal continues to be part of the ‘baseload’ reliable generation capacity still needed. The EU retains many import-dependent coal-fired plants operating, despite the intention to reduce and eliminate coal’s contribution in the power sector amid decarbonization, probably ensuring a substantial albeit declining steam coal market in the years ahead.
Previously European countries 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.
This process has been aided by the falling cost of renewable energy technology. Enhanced wind and solar power efficiency and often lower costs have altered the economics of and perceptions for alternative energy supplies. But in numerous countries closing coal-fired power stations is a major and longer-term procedure. Switching to other energy sources on the scale required to replace all coal-fired capacity is a change which could take many years.
A significant additional policy influence implemented in August this year was the European Union’s ban on coal imports from Russia in response to the invasion of Ukraine, as part of the EU’s sanctions regime. Russian volumes had previously formed a large proportion of regional coal import supplies. This action has resulted in European buyers seeking additional volumes from alternative suppliers around the world.
CONTINUED POSITIVE TREND
At the beginning of this year there were widespread expectations of sustained progress in Europe’s economic activity through 2022, continuing a solid recovery from the pandemic recession. Rising demand for the products of coalconsuming industries — electricity generation and steel production in particular — were predictable. However, inflation has proved much greater than foreseen. Energy and especially gas price increases, exacerbated by the war in Ukraine and reduced supplies of gas from Russia, and other inflationary pressures led to tightening monetary policies and slower economic growth, with a return to recession in Europe now forecast.
Nevertheless an exceptionally tight European energy market is benefiting demand for coal. In a recent update the International Energy Agency estimated that last year’s 14% EU coal consumption growth may be followed by a further rise of 7% in 2022. IEA analysts observe that this expansion is being driven by the electricity sector, where coal is increasingly being used to replace gas. This analysis shows that “several EU countries are extending the life of coal plants scheduled for closure, reopening closed plants or raising caps on their operating hours.”
Another increase in European coal imports seems likely to result. The annual seaborne coal volume imported by the EU+UK area during 2022 could increase strongly by perhaps as much as 15 20% from last year, as shown in the table, to exceed the 100mt level. A limited proportion of the rise may reflect higher coking coal imports, although steel production has been subdued amid faltering demand.
Most of the rise envisaged will be additional steam coal for power generation in countries which still have coal-fired generation capacity available and are able to switch energy sources, providing an extended short-term boost.
Looking further ahead to 2023, estimates for Europe’s coal imports are largely speculative because of greater than usual uncertainty surrounding the energy market. Regional economic activity could be depressed, as OECD economists recently envisaged, with average GDP growth in the eurozone close to zero, and in the UK nil, amid the possibility of “more severe fuel shortages, especially for gas”. If this possibility proves realistic, coal will be affected.
Some forecasters tentatively indicate an extended upwards trend. Possible growth of up to 5% in European coal imports next year could result from a continuation of the tight energy markets, before environmental pressures restraining coal use become the predominating influence again and cause a weakening trend to unfold.
Polaris Shipping trio opts for Nippon Paint Marine hull and hold coatings
Polaris Shipping, one of South Korea’s largest bulk carrier operators, has specified Nippon Paint Marine hull and hold coatings for a trio of Very Large Ore Carriers (VLOC).
Two of the 250,000dwt vessels — Stellar Young and Stellar Way — were applied with the company’s NEOGUARD® and FASTAR® coatings in July at Keppel Subic Shipyard, Inc. and Keppel Shipyard in Singapore, respectively. Sistership Stellar Venture is scheduled to receive the same application in September, at China’s Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Marine Services Co., Ltd. (DSIC).
A NEOGUARD 100 GF (glass flake) abrasion resistant, anticorrosive system, known for its mechanical strength, was selected to protect topsides and boottops. The company’s new nano domain technology antifouling FASTAR I has also been specified for boottops, in addition to the vessels’ flat bottom. The hydrogelcontaining version of the antifouling, FASTAR XI, was selected for the vertical sides to reduce fuel consumption by as much as 8%.
Although FASTAR has yet to be fully benchmarked given the coating’s recent introduction, performance indicators suggest the coating could succeed Nippon Paint Marine’s popular LF-Sea® range as the commercial maritime industry’s antifouling of choice.
Polaris Shipping’s Fleet Support said: “We have been using Nippon Paint Marine’s antifouling technology for both new buildings and existing tonnage since 2010, first LF-Sea, then A-LF-Sea, and now
FASTAR. We look forward to positive effectiveness and performance so that it minimizes the risk of fouling when operating in idle conditions. This has a number of environmental benefits.”
Ryan J. K. Kim, General Manager, Nippon Paint Marine (South Korea), furthered that while FASTAR was applied to reduce biofouling and reduced drydock time and improve application times, NEOGUARD was also applied to protect the coating from mechanical damage.
“To reduce the risk of damage to hull coatings when berthing alongside we recommend a glass flake coating to add additional impact protection, from fenders and the like,” he said.
Nippon Paint Marine’s R&D Senior Manager in South Korea, M. G. Choi, said: “It is often thought that expenditure and environment protection are inversely proportional. But FASTAR has been found to reduce costs and protect the environment at the same time. This remarkable antifouling technology shortens the time in drydock for coating applications, reducing costs and off-hire time, allowing ships to return to service quickly and the cost of repairing the shipyard will be reduced. And when they return to service, they find fuel consumption has reduced.”
“Like Polaris Shipping, we are a company that strives to reduce the impact of shipping on the marine environment. The development of FASTAR is very much in line with the needs of our customers and their energy efficiency requirements,” Choi said.
Established in 2004, Seoul-based Polaris Shipping operates a fleet of 16 VLOCs, 13 Capesize bulkers, one VLCC and two LR2 tankers.
Since its official market entry in January 2021, Nippon Paint Marine has applied the FASTAR technology to 155 vessels as of May 2022. Nippon Paint Marine has newly secured three M&R projects from Polaris Shipping this time and will try to further expand the technology globally in the coming future.

Biofouling management, fuel efficiency and GHG emissions
The importance of maintaining a smooth and clean hull free from biofouling has been outlined in a new report from IMO.
The report ‘Analysing the Impact of Marine Biofouling on the Energy Efficiency of Ships and the GHG Abatement Potential of Biofouling Management Measures ’ highlights that a layer of slime as thin as 0.5mm covering up to 50% of a hull surface could trigger an increase of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions in the range of 25% to 30% depending on ship characteristics, its speed and other prevailing conditions. These percentages can be much higher for more severe biofouling conditions, depending on the type of ships and other parameters.
In addition to analysing the impact of biofouling on ship efficiency and how current industry practices for biofouling management impact ship efficiency, the study presents results from seven scenarios (or anti-fouling strategies) in relation to a reference (“always clean”) of a target vessel (bulk carrier), between dry-docking periods.
These results demonstrate the magnitude of fuel, CO2 and cost savings that can be achieved by keeping this ship as clean as possible from biofouling. Biofouling management is one important contributor to the overall operational efficiency of ships and should be considered by shipowners to achieve IMO’s Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII)
rating indicator that measures vessel carbon intensity over time.
The study’s preliminary findings, launched at last November’s COP 26, found that keeping ships’ hulls free from just a thin layer of slime could reduce a ship’s GHG emissions by 25%.
The final report was launched during the The 2nd GloFouling Partnerships Forum and Exhibition on Biofouling Prevention and Management for Maritime Industries (11 14 October), held at the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Headquarters, bringing together international experts from the biofouling sector along with maritime organizations, the industry and academics from around the world.
NORDEN raises expectations for the full-year result 2022
NORDEN raises its expectations for the full-year result, and now expects profit for 2022 in the range of US$650 730 million (approximately DKK4,600 5,200 million), up from US$560 640 million.
The increase reflects strong performance in both the Assets & Logistics and Freight Services & Trading business units. During Q3, NORDEN has realized asset trading profits in Assets & Logistics having sold two product tankers and three dry cargo vessels. Freight Services & Trading benefits from a high exposure in tankers while also generating additional value from dry cargo activities. The exceptionally strong product tanker spot rates are expected to remain at very high levels for the remainder of 2022 leading into 2023.
“NORDENs agile business model continues to benefit us in volatile markets, where we are capturing strong values across the dry cargo and tanker segments through our active trading approach,” says Jan Rindbo, CEO of NORDEN.
Isle of Man Ship Registry strikes four ship deal with MX Bulk
The Isle of Man Ship Registry (IOMSR) is expanding its fleet after securing a new deal with fellow Isle of Man-based ship owner MX Bulk.
The agreement will see the IOMSR flag four new 63,878dwt bulk carriers presently being built by the Tsuneishi Group in Zhoushan, China. The vessels include the recently delivered Ellan Manx and Maye Manx as well as the Greeba Manx and Kirry Manx which will come into service this autumn.
IOMSR director Cameron Mitchell said the register is delighted to welcome the new ships which will join five other MX Bulk vessels already under the Manx Ensign.
“We are very pleased to extend our relationship with MX Bulk,” he said. “We share much in common from our Isle of Man headquarters to our dedication to quality, high standards and seafarer welfare. The Isle of Man Ship Registry can now offer support through our China representative Jon Kingdon in Shanghai. Through Jon we can supply on the ground technical support in China while the ships are being built as well as here on island. The Far East and China remain key growth markets for the IOMSR with two thirds of our fleet now managed in Asia.”
Mitchell said bulk carriers make up the largest percentage of vessels on the registry followed by oil tankers, gas carriers and chemical tankers.
An MX Bulk spokesperson said: “We are
delighted to extend our working relationship with the Isle of Man Ship Registry. Our latest new buildings present particular challenges, given the global geopolitical and economic uncertainty which exists in the world today. The stability of the Isle of Man as a jurisdiction alongside the professionalism and integrity of the ship registry continues to offer great reassurance for companies such as ours.
We look forward to continuing our working relationship with the Isle of Man Ship Registry for many years to come.”
Mitchell said there remains a
considerable respect among tanker and bulk carrier owners for the quality and history associated with the Red Ensign allied with the Royal Navy protecting its ships anywhere in the world.
“Owners want a flag that they can rely on particularly for the speed of technical support,” he said. “That is something the Isle of Man is well known for, whenever and wherever there is a defect or issue with port state control the IOMSR team reacts immediately. We further offer clients an easy, efficient and competitive service. This includes low fees, with one annual payment and no stealth charges, whereas some open registries charge for almost all additional services.
“There is no annual tonnage tax based on size of the ship, no inspection fee, no consular fee, no casualty investigation fees and we offer a discount for multi ship fleets as well as fee incentives for environmentally friendly ships.
“We continue to develop and lead. We were one of the first flag states to offer digital certificates.

SOME THINK THAT RAW MATERIALS TRANSPORT REQUIRES TRUCKING. WE THINK DIFFERENT.
The all-electric transshipment crane is designed for high-speed handling of bulk material on barges and transshippers in open and sheltered waters.
Liebherr’s portfolio of port and transshipment solutions has been expanded to include the all-electric transshipment crane CBG 500 E. The crane combines state-of-the-art drive technologies with Liebherr’s own crane control system ‘Master V’. Another highlight is the energy recovery system LiCaTronic®, which makes optimum use of the energy available. The numerous configurations ensure the crane is versatile and adaptable to different customer needs.
The new all-electric crane CBG 500 E expands Liebherr’s transshipment solutions portfolio with a reliable machine that offers a handling performance of up to 2,000 tonnes per hour. The all-electric drives inside the crane, in combination with the supercapacitors, turn the rope luffing CBG 500 E into a unique handling solution in the market. The supercapacitors used as standard in Liebherr’s own LiCaTronic®
Calm waters
with floating cranes, offshore stevedoring and transshipment
The CBG 500 E has a boom length of up to 50m and handles up to 2,000 tonnes per hour. In sheltered water, the maximum load capacity for grab operation is 90 tonnes and in open water 65 tonnes.
Liebherr launches the first all-electric transshipment crane CBG 500 EJay Venter
energy recovery system support the increasing requirements regarding energy efficiency. The combination of state-of-theart inverter technology, power storage and application-specific power management leads in a powerful drive system with simultaneous reduction of the required energy. The CBG 500 E is a heavy-duty transshipment crane that operates emission-free and in an environmentally friendly manner.
NEW INTERIOR , NEW EXTERIOR
In addition to the powerful and efficient drives, the whole crane structure is optimized for an extraordinary performance. The boom of the CBG 500 E was designed as a lattice boom. This makes it particularly stiff and light, which further improves the turnover performance and at the same time reduces the energy need.
The result is a lifting capacity of up to 105 tonnes in hook operation and a maximum grab capacity of up to 90 tonnes. The extension of the cabin and the high positioning ensure that the crane operator has an optimal viewing angle of all processes. The crane operator is supported operationally by the new, integrated ‘Master V’ crane control system. Together with an even more efficient software architecture, it forms the basis for integrating future assistance and automation systems into the crane in the long term.
FLEXIBILITY AS A CORE VALUE
With the CBG 500 E, a crane has been developed that can be flexibly adapted to its subsequent purpose. An essential choice concerns the length of the boom, as the crane can be configured with 43m and 50m boom. The longer boom variant offers
the decisive advantage of enabling direct transshipment between two vessels in sheltered and open water. The modes of operation range from bulk to container handling and are independent of the area of operation. For installation on a barge, the crane can be equipped with additional counterweights, enabling safe cargo handling in this application as well.
Optional configuration options such as a comfort ascent or additional platforms and boom walkways for maintenance purposes complete the configuration possibilities.
A CRANE WITH RECOGNITION VALUE
The CBG 500 E is designed in a colour combination of grey and white. The engine house with the all-electric drives is highlighted in yellow. The colour scheme is based on the Liebherr colours yellow, white and black in order to create recognition. For clear identification of the machine, a combination of logo and type designation of the crane is placed on both sides. In combination with the blue line and the addition ‘All-electric’, it is clearly recognizable. The CBG 500 E is characterized by advanced and zero emission crane technology.

LDPL: better project management through digitilization
The industry of dry bulk transshipment has significantly developed in the last years, following the raise in requirements from key stakeholders in terms of demand for productivity and sustainability along with the growth and development in digitalization.
The digitalization process, in the shipping and maritime has taken a bit longer to develop than other sectors, in consideration of a natural and historical tendency of the industry to be conservative, however it has become undoubtedly important during the last few years. The dry bulk transshipment industry naturally followed this trend, as an arm of shipping, to meet this increase in demand, performances and efficiency from stakeholders.
Louis Dreyfus Ports and Logistics (LDPL) has developed, among others, two software packages that help in managing better existing and potential new projects in the dry bulk transshipment industry: BATOS is an inhouse softwarev developed by LDPL and specific for barging and transshipment operations
modeling which uses simulation optimization to provide a comprehensive range of solutions for design, operational performance and optimization in any Dry Bulk Transshipment project. The software is able to determine the best modeling complying with an extensive list of operational constraints within a few seconds, calculating the best way to manage all deployed assets and providing accurate results of the operations, using Monte-Carlo method algorithms. Simulations include an extensive list of parameters which model every single maneuver and marine operation. Along with a third party company,v LDPL developed an application that allows users to view all information related to existing vessels and projects and store them electronically to eliminate the need for using paper or conventional records and reports. Application is made of one vessel interface, that ships or ports use to input their data, records and
information, and a user interface, which works though a web browser and gives to the shore personnel the input of what the ships or the port have recorded. Combining a Live tracking and a live performance analysis, users can extract in a second a huge amount of data and information about the operations in a specific given project, from performances, quantities, speed, consumption etc.
These two tools are currently being used by LDPL to manage existing projects in West Africa and Middle East and BATOS in particular to study feasibility and develop projects with new clients.
The importance of data and how it is fundamental to utilize data in an efficient way is nowadays widely recognized as being essential in maintaining sustainability in whatever business.
Along with the human expertise and know-how in the specific industry of dry bulk transshipment, LDPL strongly believes that planning and execution of medium and
big scale projects require an efficiency which nowadays can only be achieved through digitalization. The company has invested significant resources, receiving appreciation and positive feedbacks from major stakeholders.
Efficiency in the dry bulk transshipment leads to higher productivity, sustainability, increase on earnings and profits, reduction of costs and optimization of the entire supply chain with significant savings in freight costs and demurrages — which is exactly what the stakeholders in mining and dry bulk shipping are currently looking for.

Construction related to board-to-board transshipment in Amsterdam’s Mercuriushaven has started
To make the transshipment of bulk cargo from seagoing vessels into inland vessels and coasters more efficient, the Port of Amsterdam has instigated a programme in which floating buoys in the Mercuriushaven will be replaced by a fixed row of piles. This will make it possible for ships to transfer their cargo to another vessel more quickly, safely and cleanly.
Currently, transshipment is still carried out using floating buoys, floating cranes and weighing towers. Transshipment done in this way requires a lot of nautical space. Therefore Amsterdam plans to replace the existing buoys with a permanent set-up.
MORE EFFICIENT AND SAFER DUE TO FIXED ROW OF POSTS
With a fixed arrangement, the seagoing vessel is moored to a fixed fendering system with separate mooring posts. The floating cranes and weighing towers are also located on this barrier. Ships then come alongside to be loaded. The seagoing vessels, each between approximately 80 and 295 metres long, are then in the same position. This makes it easier and safer for them to pass each other. For example, there is no drift if there is a strong wind. And because the cranes and weighing towers remain moored to the railings during both the arrival and departure of the sea-going vessels, fewer transport movements take place. This saves on exhaust gas emissions and contributes to a shorter handling time for unloading. Finally, the fixed installation offers the option of later installing shore power for ships and cranes.
BERTH MERCURIUSHAVEN OUT OF USE
The replacement of the first set of buoys by a permanent set-up started on Monday 12 September. During this work, which will last until the end of October, the Mercuriushaven berth will be out of use. In the course of 2023, a decision will be taken as to whether to also replace the second set of buoys with a permanent set-up. This assignment will be carried out under the management of Arcadis and by De Klerk Waterbouw. The project is made possible in part by an EU grant of €2.7 million under the programme CEF (Connecting Europe Facility | Innovation and Networks Executive Agency.

On 26 September 2022, AD Ports Group’s SAFEEN Feeders signed a major agreement with Invictus Investment to launch a new international dry bulk shipping service.
Under the terms of the agreement, the two companies will purchase ships through Special Purpose Vehicles, owned 85% by SAFEEN Feeders and 15% by Invictus Investment. In addition, SAFEEN Feeders and Invictus Investment will form a joint venture to operate the service. The joint venture will be owned 51% by SAFEEN Feeders and 49% by Invictus Investment.
The two companies are expected to initially commit approximately AED463 million (US$126 million) for the investment in the vessels. Five ships of varying sizes are expected to be deployed within six months, starting in September 2022, with additional vessels envisaged as part of future growth plans.
The joint venture will serve as the carrier for Invictus’ dry bulk trading business, which currently ships more than three million tonnes of commodities annually, principally wheat and comple mentary grains. The majority of the ships’
capacity will be provided to support this business.
In addition, the joint venture will also extend its commercial bulk shipping services to other companies globally, with an initial focus on the Red Sea and Pacific corridors, the Indian sub-continent as well as the Black Sea region, and with the capacity to ship to anywhere in the world within international navigating limits.
Under the joint venture agreement, Invictus Investment will commercially operate the vessels, and with Invictus’ large existing trading volumes added to the program, it is expected to generate strong returns on the investment.
Invictus, which was listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) in June 2022 under the ticker INVICTUS, has leveraged its core competency in wheat trading to diversify into complementary grains, as well as cotton, groundnuts, meat, other commodities and finished goods. SAFEEN Feeders, which launched in 2020, has significantly expanded its fleet over the past two years, deploying new vessels of varying sizes and capacities for bulk and
container services, boosting overall capacity to 23,400 TEUs.
Capt. Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, Managing Director and Group CEO, AD Ports Group, said “Under the guidance of our wise leadership, AD Ports Group continues to invest in new initiatives that stimulate economic diversification and support the recovery of international trade.
This is an important agreement for AD Ports Group as we look to expand the diverse portfolio of international dry bulk services that we provide for customers and strengthen food security in the region and around the world. Aligning SAFEEN Feeders shipping expertise with Invictus’ diverse sourcing network will help create a significant new operator, with global reach and a modern fleet.”
Amir Abdellatif, Chief Executive Officer of Invictus Investment Company, said “Invictus Investment has rapidly developed into a multi-continent operational reach to support trade of a wide variety of commodities, agro-foods, and finished goods.

‘Mark W. Barker’: first US-flagged Great Lakes bulk carrier in nearly 40 years
At the end of July, 2022, nearly three years after the first cut of steel for the first Great Lakes freighter in nearly 40 years, the 639foot Mark W. Barker embarked on her maiden voyage from Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding. “This is a monumental day for our company and the US flag fleet as our much-anticipated freighter departs on her first voyage in what will be a long life of service on the Great Lakes,” said Mark W. Barker, President of The Interlake Steamship Company and namesake of the vessel — the company’s first new build since 1981. “The construction of this vessel, which was made from steel manufactured in Indiana, from iron ore delivered by vessel from Minnesota, reinforces our long-term commitment to shipping and delivering essential cargoes for our customers throughout the region.”
The Mark W. Barker departed the Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin shipyard at 10:36 Eastern time on the 27th of July 2022, for her 110-mile journey to Port Inland, Michigan where her crew of 21
professional mariners loaded stone, which was delivered to Muskegon, Michigan. Once delivered, that stone cargo went into ready-mix concrete production.
“This new vessel not only brings with it additional cargo carrying capacity and capabilities, it is the most versatile in our fleet and strategically sized to navigate into nearly any port on the Great Lakes,” says Brendan P. O’Connor, Vice President of Marketing and Marine Traffic. “The Mark W. Barker will give us unmatched ability for cargo operations and to carry unique project cargoes because of both her square-shaped cargo hold and larger hatch openings. She truly was designed to be a vessel for the future.”
Under construction since August 2019, the Mark W. Barker was built by hundreds of dedicated workers at the Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, shipyard.
“We couldn’t be prouder to add this skillfully constructed vessel to our growing Interlake fleet,” says Barker, who was at the shipyard this week to personally wish the
best to the ship’s crew fitting out the new vessel. “It has been genuinely inspiring to see the dedication and workmanship from all of those involved in this multi-year project, from the design, construction, final outfitting and successful sea trials. We are thrilled to add our newest US-crewed, USbuilt and US-owned vessel to the Great Lakes fleet.”
Mark W. Barker will transport raw materials such as salt, iron ore, and stone to support manufacturing throughout the Great Lakes region.
The Interlake Steamship Company, Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding, and Bay Engineering jointly designed the bulk carrier, complete with advanced vessel and unloading systems automation. The carrier was built by FBS’s nearly 700 skilled trade workers. Major partners for the project include Cargill, Cleveland-Cliffs, SherwinWilliams, American Bureau of Shipping, Bay Engineering, EMD Engines, Caterpillar, EMSTech, Lufkin (a GE Company), Kongsberg and MacGregor.
CSL’s new diesel-electric self-unloading ship in service for Windsor Salt
Between May 5 and 12, 2022, Canada Steamship Lines’ new diesel-electric selfunloading vessel, Nukumi , successfully completed its inaugural loading and discharge of deicing salt for Windsor Salt.
“The successful launch of Nukumi’ s operations is the culmination of many years of planning with our visionary partner, Windsor Salt, to achieve the next level of safe, sustainable and efficient shipping in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Great Lakes region,” said Louis Martel, President and CEO, The CSL Group.
“We are extremely proud of our vessel’s early performance, which is a testament to the expertise, ingenuity and skill of our design and newbuild teams who conceived Nukumi, and of our seafarers who are now operating this highly sophisticated ship.”
Purpose-designed to service Windsor Salt’s deicing salt shipping and handling needs in Eastern Canada, the vessel’s stateof-the-art technology and innovative features were put to the test for the first time during loading at the Mines Seleines salt mine in the Magdalene Islands and during the discharge in Montreal.
On her first trip to the Mines Seleine salt mine, the ship’s modern hull design and twin-fin diesel-electric propulsion system demonstrated the vessel’s ability to transit through narrow channels more quickly, at
lower tide and with exceptional manoeuvrability.
The ship’s fully automated single point of loading and state-of-the-art cargo handling systems performed as designed and eliminated the need for vessel shifting during loading, making for a safer and more efficient operation.
During discharge in Montreal, the vessel’s shuttle discharge boom arrangement significantly reduced shifting,
while sensor technology installed on the boom and programmed to auto-pile mode contributed to saving time and crew effort.
Several innovations built into the design of Nukumi are also reducing the ship’s overall environmental footprint and are expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants by 25% and 80% respectively, compared with previous ships servicing the same routes. These include diesel-electric tier 3 engines, a
ballast water treatment system, a waste heat recovery system, and overall quieter machinery.
“Canadians count on the critical deicing salts that Nukumi will deliver to stockpiles throughout Eastern Canada to help keep roadways safe during the winter,” said Luc B. Savoie, Vice-President and Chief Commercial Officer, Windsor Salt Ltd. “Reducing the environmental impact of shipping our deicing salt and ensuring everyone’s safety are important objectives at Windsor Salt, and we are delighted that this new, advanced ship will help us achieve both.”
CSL is grateful to the Ministère des Transports du Québec for its financial contribution as part of the Ministry’s program to improve the efficiency of marine, air and rail transportation.
“With Avantage Saint-Laurent, our government has given Quebec a clear vision for the marine industry: aligning economic development and protecting ecosystems. CSL’s Nukumi is a perfect example to what we want to do on the St. Lawrence. I am very proud to support this project, which uses innovative marine

Suape to have new minerals terminal
The north-eastern Brazilian Port of Suape is to have a new private use minerals terminal, which will be operated by Planalto Piauí Participações e Empreendimentos S.A. Effectively, it forms part of the Bemisa Brasil Operação Mineral S.A. group, a mining company that the federal government has authorized to build and operate the 717km Sertão Railway between Curral Novo (Piauí) and the Port of Suape. Investment of $288 million will be required to build the terminal, which is forecast to handle 13.5 million tonnes of iron ore annually.
Work on the terminal is scheduled to commence in 2025 across a 51.8-hectare area in the Industrial Port Zone (ZIP), on Cocaia Island. The new rail link will offer an alternative to the Transnordestina Railway, which will also serve the port.
The main export that the terminal is expected to handle is iron ore. This will mostly come from deposits that the parent company is developing in Curral Novo municipality, which has reserves of 800 million tonnes. This represents the largest mineral reserve in the state and one of the largest in the country.
According to Roberto Gusmão, managing director of the Port of Suape, Suape is the main port in the Brazilian north-east and also a concentrator of cargo, which is currently distributed by road and cabotage. With the arrival of the rail network, the port will also be able to handle soybeans from the states of Tocantins, Bahia, Piauí and Maranhão; fruit from São Francisco; and gypsum from the Sertão do Araripe.
The terminal, which has a 30-year concession, will be able to receive and ship 50,000 tonnes of ore daily, as well as having static storage of 780,000 tonnes.
The Bemisa group is one of Brazil’s largest in the field of mining and exporting minerals. Based in Minas Gerais, it currently has a presence in seven Brazilian states, where it has nine on-going operations, covering the extraction of iron ore, gold, nickel, phosphate and limestone.
Quequén on course for year of record exports
The Management Consortium of the Argentinian Port of Quequén has revealed that it is on course to record a record throughput in grain exports for 2022. In August, volumes had already reached 5.5mt (million tonnes) and risen to 6mt by midSeptember.
Quequén is located at the heart of one of the country’s most important barely
producing regions, whose export season begins in November and December. The port also handles substantial amounts of export corn.
Significantly, the problem of reduced levels of rainfall has not meant that wheat cannot be produced locally. Instead, a variety known as HB4 has become established, because it was developed with
low rainfall areas in mind. Soybeans, though, struggle without good access to rain and in the local, windy climate.
All vessels calling at Quequén are invoiced in US dollars but the port effectively converts this to pesos. This allows a certain level of stability to be maintained in prices, irrespective of what is happening in the local economy.
Approval given to new Russian coal port
Barry CrossEnvironmental approval has been granted for the new Russian Port Elga coal terminal at cape Manorsky, in the Sea of Okhotsk. This has been revealed by the Elga Ugol Management Company LLC, which says that construction work will now go ahead
The facility, which will have an engineered capacity of 30 million tonnes per year, will receive consignments of coal from the mines at Elginsky via the Pacific Railway. It will be able to simultaneously load up to four 85,000dwt at a time, with the first scheduled calls to start in 2024.
The rail link to the port is the result of a September 2022 co operation agreement signed between Gazprombank, the Khabarovsk regional government and Port Elga, the latter forming part of the A-Property Group. The line, which will not be open to public traffic will link mines at Elga with what is effectively a Port of Vanino operating terminal, and also with another port coal terminal near cape Manorsky, on the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk. Investment required is $2.3 billion.
Once operational, the new terminal will have a 5km conveyor link between the rail car dump and export facilities. In addition, there will be a major stockpile area, which will also be conveyor linked.
Significantly, the Elginsky coking coal deposit is one of the world’s largest. It is to be found in the South-Eastern part of Yakutia, 415km east of the town of Neryungri and 300km from the Baikal-Amur Railway.
As for the location of the Port of Elga itself, it is on the north-west side of Uda Bay.
According to public records, A Property owns 80% of the Elga coal complex, and 20% controlled by EnergoGroup LLC run by Alexander Isaev, General Director of Elga-Sibantracite Management Company LLC (ELSI).
Russo–Ukrainian war
casts major shadow over ports in the Hamburg–Le Havre range
The 24 February invasion by Russia of Ukraine has had some unexpected consequences for ports across the entire Hamburg Le Havre range. Clearly, with many grain exports out of Ukraine either delayed or cancelled entirely, importers are having to source grain from other suppliers, with France an obvious starting place in Europe.
Electricity generators have also had to find alternative supplies of energy given that Russian oil and gas are no longer available as embargoes begin to bite. Coal, therefore, has made a surprising important reappearance in some ports.
Haropa Port, which undertakes freight handling operations at the ports of Le Havre, Rouen and Paris reported total maritime traffic of 42.08mt (million tonnes) in the first half of the current year. Despite a 2% upswing in cereals traffic, overall dry bulk traffic dipped by 4.2% for the January–June period.
Aggregates for the construction industry declined by 22% or 260,000
tonnes as of the end of June, but were up 8% overall and remaining generally at historically high levels, underpinned by an positive trend in construction projects. The operator blames the slight downturn on unfavourable weather in the early months of the year, which had an impact on worksites and logistics conditions for materials.
The war in Ukraine, notes the company, has had a substantial impact on trade in agricultural products globally, and specifically on exports of wheat, corn and oilseeds, these being largely carried by sea, which means that stocks have been locked up in Black Sea ports while forthcoming harvests are also heavily compromised by the war.
Nevertheless, because France is a major European producer of wheat and barley, it remains a major exporter to those countries unable to grow sufficient grain of their own. Indeed, the current situation may well open up new market oppor tunities for French grain, believes Haropa.
Slightly further to the south, Port Atlantique La Rochelle remains France’s second-largest exporter of grain, with only Rouen handling more cereals traffic bound for overseas clients.
The difficulties in shipping grain consignments from ports in Ukraine linked to the recent hot and dry summer in Europe has meant that France is exporting more grain than it did last year. So, while some other traffic groups have seen something of a downturn compared to previous years, cereals consignments out of La Rochelle have notably increased.
For the first nine months of the present year, La Rochelle reported total traffic across all traffic types of 7.328mt which is an increase of 10.8%. However, grain traffic, at 3.24mt was up 29.6% from the 2.508mts reported in the corresponding 2021 period. Of this total, the three most important cereals were wheat (2.244mt), barley (577,363 tonnes) and corn (366,113 tonnes).
In contrast, forestry products grew by
5.1%, from 435,233 tonnes to 457,515 tonnes, while other agricultural products declined by 0.5% from 579,052 tonnes to 576,430 tonnes.
However, figures relating to cereals invariably depend on a number of factors, most notably the weather. The 2020/2021 cereals campaign, for example, was one of the lowest in volume for nearly 20 years, due in part to extreme wet weather. In contrast, the 2021-2022 campaign generated exports of 3,962,066 tonnes, which is an increase of 51%. Indeed, as Vincent Poudevigne, General Manager of the Sica Atlantique Group — which is one of La Rochelle’s main cereals terminal operators — says, “The campaigns follow each other but are not alike!”
La Rochelle has basically two companies that handle the vast majority of export grain. The Sica Atlantique Group, which is a co operative, and Socomac (Soufflet Group), which is an entirely private company. They benefit from being able to
third-largest cereal growing region, where soft and hard wheat, corn, barley (for brewing or fodder), sunflower, rape, and alfalfa are all produced. Much of this arrives at the port via a highly developed rail network, which in 2021, for example, was responsible for transporting 88% of the total export grain volume.
The importance of grain at La Rochelle cannot be underestimated. In 2021, for example, the combined volumes of cereals and oilseed amounted to 37% of total traffic at the port, which remarkably was 13% lower than the previous year. The recent increase in export consignments could very well mean that the preeminence of this traffic sector could be reestablished in 2022.
Customers for La Rochelle’s grain include countries in the Maghreb, as well as those in the Middle East and West Africa. In recent years, there has also been an increase in intra-European traffic, particularly to Italy, Portugal and the
Investment in handling is ongoing. In March 2018, Socomac inaugurated a new €32 million dockside silo that has a storage capacity of 63,000 tonnes. The company now has static storage capacity at its La Pallice terminal of 188,000 tonnes and has the ability to export 2mt annually, up from the previous limit of 1.6mt.
As for the Sica Atlantique Group, it has invested in a new grainoduct, which features two enclosed conveyor belts, aimed at increasing shipping outputs and absorbing logistical jolts. The grainoduct was commissioned in two stages: the first conveyor belt in June 2018 and the second in August 2018.
Between them, the two operators have a combined total of 232 storage cells, enabling them to undertake precise blending to meet the most demanding specifications of their customers.
In part, both operators benefit from the fact that the Port of La Rochelle is the only one on the Atlantic seaboard that offers
Panamax-type vessels. Loading rates are also extremely productive, with up to 2,500 tonnes/hour per berth achievable with two simultaneous gantry cranes, one loading at 1,000tph (tonnes per hour) and the other at 1,500tph.
Another port that has also unexpectedly benefited from the RussoUkrainian war is that of the Port of Antwerp-Bruges. This maritime facility, which sits at the very heart of the Hamburg–Le Havre range reported total traffic of 217.4mt for the first threequarters of the current year, equivalent to a slight increase of 0.8% compared to the same period last year.
Significantly, with the exception of the container market, all business segments at the port reported growth. In terms of tonnage, box throughput fell by 8.8% in the January September period, which the port authority candidly attributes to the war in Ukraine, and business is not expected to return to normal until the first quarter of 2023 at the earliest.
In direct contrast, conventional breakbulk grew by 9.7%. Steel exports are holding their own, even while steel supply volumes are showing a downward trend as a result of high inventories and falling
demand.
While the throughput of wood and building materials are showing a declining trend, both nevertheless still recorded some growth in the period in question.
As for dry bulk, it has experienced a boom, rising by 21.5% in the first nine months, astonishingly fuelled by growth in the transport of coal. As electricity producers in Europe scramble around for ways to close the gap left by the cut in Russian oil and gas, many have again sourced coal for power generation. The impact at Antwerp is that, while the port handled just 364,000 tonnes of coal in the first three quarters of 2021, in the corresponding 2022 period this has leapt to 2.43mt.
Throughput of iron ore is also showing growth this year, although scrap metal, sand and gravel have declined while other building materials show no change.
With Russian fertilizer now harder to acquire, both imports and exports of this commodity at Antwerp have picked up compared to the second quarter, although there is still an 11.8% decline from the record year of 2021.
Another of the big hitters in the Hamburg–Le Havre range is the cross-
border North Sea Port, which encompasses the ports of Vlissingen, in the Netherlands, and Ghent, in Belgium. It reported total traffic of 57mt in the first three quarters of this year, up 9.3%. To put this into perspective, the coronavirus pandemic in the first three quarters of 2020 caused a 13% traffic drop, while growth of 9% was generated in the first three quarters of last year.
In January–September 2022, dry bulk traffic at the port grew by 13% or 3.6mt to 31.4mt. Significantly, as with Antwerp, solid fuels account for almost half of this increase (up 1.6mt). The handling of oilseeds, iron and iron ore also increased.
Non-containerized general cargo additionally showed strong recovery, up 11% growth or 0.8mt to 7.7mt. More than half of this increase was generated by the trade in steel plates.
Daan Schalck, CEO North Sea Port, is in no doubt that there has been something of a negative fall out from the war in Ukraine.
He points out that, during the March to July period this year, immediately following the start of the war in Ukraine, many companies stockpiled large amounts of goods. This was because of limited exports from Ukraine and EU embargoes on goods
from Russia such as coal and wood.
“Uncertainties on the geopolitical stage [...] cause [temporary] spikes in supply streams in certain segments. The drop in trade with Russia will be compensated by additional transshipment from mainly the United States, Canada and Finland. Russia may then cease to be the first trading partner by the end of this year,” he says.
At the same time, Ukraine has also dropped further down the list of trading partners despite the resumption of grain supplies as of early September thanks to the establishment of grain corridors set up by the United Nations. A total of 0.4mt have so far been traded, well below the 1mt in the same period in 2021. The declines are in corn, animal feed and iron ore.
Clearly, the Port of Hamburg has also been affected by sanctions imposed by the European Union on the Russian Federation in response to Russia’s war on Ukraine, since large amounts of Russian trade has long been handled at the north German port hub.
“Russia plays an important role in the Port of Hamburg, particularly for imports of bulk cargo. These goods were not affected by the first sanctions,” notes the port.
However, that situated changed radically
with the European Union’s sixth package of sanctions, which was implemented as of 3 June 2022. Mostly, this impacted liquid bulk, since Russian oil was effectively embargoed, with imports of Russian crude oil to be phased out over a period of six months and other refined petroleum products within eight months.
In terms of traffic figures, for the half year, Hamburg reported handling 61.8mt, down 2.7%. Much of this was due to a decline of 8.9% bulk cargo to 17.6mt. Suction cargo, at 3mt, was down by 7.2%. Grab cargo, which amounted to 10.2mt, was also down, by 3.2%. However, it was liquid cargo that suffered the most, falling by 20.5%.
The port concedes that the overall total was partly the result of stiffer EU sanctions
against Russia, along with changes dictated by the market in the trading and transport of raw materials.
According to Axel Mattern, CEO of Port Hamburg Marketing, it is not only war in Ukraine, but also the repercussions of the global Covid-19 pandemic that will continue to cause transport and supply bottlenecks for trade and industry. On many routes, he says, this is leading to longer transit times and steeply increased freight rates.
Significantly, with a 52.8 share of the modal split, rail freight transport remains the top carrier for the Port of Hamburg’s incoming and departing traffic, he adds, with around 210 freight trains with more than 5,500 wagons using the port railway’s highperformance 300km network daily.
OVET dry bulk terminal is a stevedore company which specializes in storing, transshipping and processing dry bulk. With over 100 employees, the company has been offering very high quality and flexibility in services, since 1957. It can achieve a total unloading capacity of as much as 80,000 tonnes dry bulk per day, using its four floating cranes.
It is not surprising that, since OVET was founded in 1957, a lot has changed. At first, the company operated exMarshall Plan six-tonne floating cranes to discharge coal from seagoing vessels on Terneuzen roads and at the Zevenaarhaven terminal in Terneuzen. This gradually evolved to the 25- and 36tonne units which nowadays handle all kinds of bulk and breakbulk cargoes at its Massagoed and Kaloothaven terminals in Terneuzen and Vlissingen. However, what hasn’t changed is the nature and spirit of OVET. As ever, each project benefits from an all-out effort on behalf of OVET, where all floating cranes are combined to ensure the customer receives swift and quality service.
ABOUT OVET
The history of OVET begins in 1957. This is the year when the French stevedoring company Manufrance decided to establish a local trans shipping company for a major customer: the Association Cooperative Zélandaise de Carbonisation, also known as the Cokesfabriek (coke factory).
This factory focused on the production of cokes for the blast furnaces of French steelworks. Terneuzen was a favourable location, because it is well-situated with regard to England and the Ruhr area, which is where the coals came from. The deep waterway was also a major advantage.
The main reason for choosing a location in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen was the substantial price difference between supplying coals via Rotterdam or directly to Terneuzen.
On 2 May 1957, the company was established. The managing director at the time,Y.H.M. Simenel, started out with seven other employees and ran the company from the Grand Hotel Rotterdam in Terneuzen.
OVET decided to use floating cranes in order to be able to lighten vessels midstream as well as from the quay. The very first floating crane had a lifting capacity of six tonnes. The company was successful and steadily gained new clients, besides the coke factory.
The lifting capacity of the cranes increased from six to 16 tonnes and later to 25 tonnes. In 2007, the newest crane with a lifting capacity of 36 tonnes came into service.
From an annual 500,000 tonnes of transshipment during the beginning, OVET has grown and today handles as much as 11 million tonnes of transshipment cargoes each year.
The company now has dry bulk terminals in Vlissingen and Terneuzen and over 100 employees ensure services of
OVET: serving the Netherlands bulk market since 1957
high quality for the customers.
OVET can achieve a total unloading capacity of as much as 80,000 tonnes dry bulk per day, using its four lemniscate floating cranes.
In addition to creating more capacity, OVET also makes use of mobile SENNEBOGEN material handlers.
OVET high-quality offering comes from its strong focus on the questions and requirements of customers. Every OVET employee knows their daily duty of providing good service and quality; they deliver high quality personal service. This personal touch distinguishes OVET dry bulk terminal as a specialist and leader when it comes to the flexible handling of dry bulk.
TERMINAL TERNEUZEN (MASSAGOEDHARBOUR) AND TERMINAL VLISSINGEN (KALOOTHARBOUR)
With its floating cranes, OVET is active throughout the entire area of the Western Scheldt, in Vlissingen, Terneuzen and Ghent, but also at anchorage berths on the Western Scheldt itself.
TRI MODAL PLATFORM
WATER TRANSPORT (INLAND NAVIGATION/ MARITIME SHIPPING)
The OVET dry bulk terminals are connected to the most important waterways in Europe. Access to the Rhine is gained through modern channel connections. The proximity of the North Sea ensures the OVET dry bulk terminals are very suitable for sea traffic. OVET is able to load and unload all inland navigation (lighters and tug-pushed barges) and maritime shipping (coasters, Handysize, Panamax and Capesize). All possibilities are therefore open for its customers.
ROAD TRANSPORT
OVET uses loaders to fill up trucks, which then pass a weighing platform to determine the exact weight.
RAIL TRANSPORT
Since July 2013, OVET has had a completely renovated track and a new train loading system at the Vlissingen terminal. This ensures OVET is able to provide an even better hinterland connection for its
customers. OVET has successfully proven that a train can travel to and from the German Ruhr area within 24 hours. On top of that, both dry bulk terminals have a good connection to the European railway network with good access to the Betuwelijn and the Corridor C.
FLEXIBILITY
With its four floating cranes, OVET is capable of working in the entire ARA (Antwerp Rotterdam Amsterdam) range. The floating cranes can be moved between the terminals in the ports of Vlissingen (Flushing) and Terneuzen, in a mere three to four. On top of that, lightering can take place at Terneuzen Rede and Everingen (on the Scheldt). Also, almost all equipment at the terminals is mobile. Flexibility and OVET belong together.
WIDE RANGE OF CARGOES
OVET is able to handle many different cargoes, including: coal/(pet)cokes/anthracite;v minerals;v agricultural products (seeds/grains);v biomass/GMP;v offshore/density stones; andv scrap.v
WAREHOUSING
In order to meet the needs of its customers, OVET has a large covered storage facility with six compartments, in which products can be stored while staying dry. The large warehouse is mainly used for biomass, but other products can also be stored.
WAREHOUSE STATISTICS
Poor quality rubber — trust your senses
The vast majority of rubber used to manufacture industrial conveyor belts is synthetic. That is because synthetic rubber can be engineered for specific demands and is far more adaptable compared to natural rubber. This is vitally important when you consider the wide variety of working conditions and materials that they have to cope with. It is the quality of the rubber covers, in particular the ability to resist wear and tear, which has the biggest influence on the durability and operational lifetime of a conveyor belt.
Sad to say however, an enormous proportion of conveyor belts fail to provide a cost-efficient working lifetime simply because the rubber used to make them is of insufficient quality. The reason for this is that rubber usually forms at least 70% of the volume mass of a conveyor belt and more than 50% of the cost. With most conveyor belts being sold on the basis of lowest selling price rather than performance and durability, the rubber is therefore the prime target for minimizing costs. The outward appearance may seem perfectly okay but how can you tell if the rubber is poor quality? Fortunately, you do not necessarily need to be a conveyor belt
CONVEYING ADVICE
expert to identify some of the tell-tale signs. You just need to use your senses.
SOMETHING SMELLS WRONG
One of the first clues is smell. All European manufacturers are legally obliged to comply with REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemical substances) regulation EC 1907/2006, which came into force in June 2007. The regulations relate to the use of potentially hazardous chemicals that pose hazards to human health and the environment. This includes those that may have category 2 carcinogenic classifications as well as Persistent Organic Pollutants. Sadly, many European manufacturers have chosen to ignore this legal requirement because of the impact on production costs while manufacturers in Asia, the source of a huge proportion of the conveyor belts sold in Europe, are not subject to the regulations at all. This means that they are free to use unregulated raw materials that cost much less on the global market compared to their regulated
counterparts, even though those materials may be prohibited or have strict usage limitations within Europe.
One of the biggest concerns involves short-chain chlorinated paraffin’s (SCCP’s), which are most commonly used to reduce production costs by accelerating the vulcanization process. REACH regulations stipulate that SCCP’s should either not be used at all or at least only used on a very restricted basis because of their category 2 carcinogenic classifications. The tell-tale sign of their presence is usually recognizable due to an unpleasant pungent odour given off by the rubber whereas good quality rubber usually has very little smell at all.
HEARING THE DIFFERENCE
Perhaps an even more surprising way of identifying poor quality rubber is sound. Belts with good quality rubber covers tend to run appreciably quieter than their lower-grade counterparts. A key component contained in every black rubber conveyor belt is carbon black. It makes up around 20% of a typical rubber compound and good quality carbon black is an expensive commodity. Carbon black plays a vital role in prolonging belt life by helping to conduct heat away from the surface area of the belt, thereby reducing thermal damage. It also acts as a reinforcing compound. Belts offered with significantly lower prices are virtually certain to contain carbon black that is of a much lower quality that has been produced much more cheaply such as by burning scrap car tyres for example. Other methods used to minimize rubber costs include the use of recycled rubber of highly questionable origin and cheap ‘bulking’ fillers such as chalk, which are used to replace part of the more expensive rubber polymers. The end result is that the rubber is more rigid and less flexible, causing the belt to emit a constant loud rumble. There is also a tendency to slip, causing loud squealing sounds.
In contrast, higher quality rubber contains much higher proportions of top grade polymers and premium quality carbon black. As a consequence, rather than being rigid, the rubber is much more elastic, which helps to reduce its rolling resistance because it ‘conforms’ more easily. This means that it requires less drive power and makes less noise because the sound is dissipated as the
belt surface passes over the rollers. Good quality rubber also has more grip so it is less prone to slipping under tension at the head. A perfect example of this was discovered recently by one operator who, after replacing its low grade imported belting with belts produced by Dunlop Conveyor Belting in the Netherlands, found that the noise level of its conveyors dropped by at least 50%.
COMMON SENSE
When trying to differentiate between what is likely to be good quality, more cost-efficient belts and low grade, short lifespan belts, perhaps the best sense of all is good old-fashioned common sense. As I said earlier, rubber usually forms at least 70% of the volume mass of a conveyor belt and more than 50% of the
CONVEYING ADVICE
cost. When there is a big difference in the price of one conveyor belt and another, invariably the best tell-tale sign of all is that the price reflects the quality and longevity.
Bob NelsonAuthors note: Please be aware that the level of noise emitted by a conveyor can also depend on other factors such as the quality of the infrastructure, maintenance, type and condition of other integral components such as rollers and/or general operating conditions. Consequently, a reduction in noise level cannot be guaranteed simply as a result of changing your belt to a premium quality band such as Dunlop. For more advice on this subject please consult an experienced application engineer.
North Italian terminal orders Generation 6 Konecranes Gottwald
mobile harbour crane to lift productivity and eco-efficiency
TDG, Terminal Del Golfo, part of Tarros Group, has ordered an eco-efficient Generation 6 Konecranes Gottwald mobile harbour crane for its operation in La Spezia, in northwestern Italy. The crane represents the latest in mobile harbour crane technology: it will be equipped with an external power supply that lowers operating costs while reducing noise and exhaust emissions. The order was booked in July 2022 and the crane will be delivered in the first quarter of 2023.
The new Generation 6 crane will increase capacity and improve flexibility at the terminal. It can handle containers, general cargo and heavy project cargo, and its external power supply will raise both operational performance and reduce local carbon emissions. When unplugged the crane uses a hybrid drive, consisting of an EU Stage V diesel engine paired with ultracapacitors refilled by lowering and braking energy.
The crane will work at Terminal del Golfo (TDG), a container and multipurpose terminal in La Spezia. TDG is operated by Tarros Group, a port operator with a network of depots and terminals across the Mediterranean region.
“We are excited to utilize the latest eco-efficient mobile harbour crane technology to support our terminal enlargement project in La Spezia. We were convinced by the combination of productivity, flexibility and eco-efficiency that the Generation 6 offers,” says Andrea Natale, Terminal Manager at TDG.
The crane is TDG’s first Generation 6 mobile harbor crane. The decision to purchase one was supported by Konecranes’ MHC Product Advisor, a virtual tool that helps operators find the right mobile harbour crane. The crane will have smart features such as automatic lubrication to reduce maintenance work, an emergency ladder on the tower wall for added safety, and digital services that streamline operation in line with Italy’s National Industry 4.0 Plan, a state strategy that encourages industrial innovation.
“This order underlines the strengths of the Generation 6 crane, with its high productivity, reliability and eco-efficiency, and we are proud to support TDG in their terminal expansion,” says Gino Gherri, Regional Sales Manager, Port Solutions, Konecranes.
This order is part of Ecolifting™, Konecranes’ continuous work to decrease the carbon footprints of its customers. From eco-optimizing diesel drives to hybridization and fully-electrified fleets, Konecranes continue to do more with less.
A strong focus on customers and commitment to business growth and continuous improvement make Konecranes a major player in the lifting industry. This is underpinned by investments in digitalization and technology, plus the company’s work to make material flows more efficient with solutions that decarbonize the economy and advance circularity and safety.
TDG — Terminal Del Golfo, part of Tarros Group — is a port terminal located in the Gulf of La Spezia, specialized in handling containers but, being a multipurpose terminal and being equipped
with mobile and quay cranes, as well as forklifts and trailers, TDG handles also noncontainerized goods and clients can be given a door to door service.
Founded in 1828 the Tarros Group connects, thanks to its 610 employees, 16 countries, 31 ports and more than 450 million people all over the Mediterranean Sea.

Rulmeca enjoys successful visit to bauma 2022
The year 2022 can certainly be defined as a very important one for the Rulmeca company, which has reached the milestone of its first 60 years. The company has recently held numerous celebrations that were held in all branches around the world. The celebrations, which will continue until the end of the year, are not a point of arrival for the company, but rather a push towards further strategic growth within the Group.
Participation in the 33rd edition of bauma 2022 was one more opportunity to
ideally celebrate the Rulmeca anniversary with all customers, partners and distributors that have supported Rulmeca so far.
The world’s leading trade fair for construction machinery, building material machines, mining machines, construction vehicles and construction equipment hosted exhibitors from around the globe showing the most innovative construction methods and material solutions.
At the Trade Fair Center Messe München, Germany from 24 30 October
2022, visitors were able to appreciate the high quality and flexibility of all of Rulmeca’s components specifically designed for bulk material handling, together with a novelty — the new Rulmeca Composite Roller. This is a glass-filled high density polyethylene tube, injection moulded bearing housing, stationary stoneguard and FRAS labyrinth seal.
The Rulmeca Composite Roller offers a distinct mass advantage when compared to equivalent length standard steel and HDPE rollers.
Goeyvaerts relies on Konecranes MHCs
Powerful, reliable, and mobile: these are three of the essential characteristics of Konecranes Gottwald mobile harbour cranes. They are particularly valuable in the rental crane business, as the example of Goeyvaerts-R bvba (Goeyvaerts) confirms. For many years, the family-run Belgiumbased company has been operating a steadily growing number of mobile harbour cranes from Konecranes. The fleet currently includes 30 cranes, four of which are of the new Generation 6.
Goeyvaerts was established in 1953, and specialized in inland barge handling until the turn of the millenium. Due to changing demand, a sustainable strategic turn towards harbour crane rental took place from 2006 on, starting with material handlers and some pre-owned Konecranes Gottwald mobile harbour cranes. These first cranes were taken over from the Port of Antwerp. As a consequence, the used cranes were initially rented at the company’s ‘home port’ Antwerp. In the meantime, customers in the two Belgian
ports of Ghent and Zeebrugge in Belgium, as well as in the Dutch ports of Terneuzen, Vlissingen, Rotterdam and Amsterdam were also using Goeyvaerts’ rental cranes. Thanks to this success story, since 2015 Goeyvaerts has been opting for new mobile harbour cranes from Konecranes.
HIGH AVAILABILITY
Against the background of this rapid growth, the fleet of Konecranes Gottwald mobile harbour cranes at Goeyvaerts has grown rapidly. One of the main reasons for this is the particularly high flexibility of use, as CEO and co-owner Rudi Goeyvaerts explains: “Our customers usually have a very urgent need for a handling solution, and our business model is based on our capacity to provide them with the right crane quickly. Mobile harbour cranes are ideal for this purpose. For example, if a crane is required in the port of Antwerp, it can be moved quickly from terminal to terminal. Depending on the distance, it is then moved by its own power or
transported to the next place of use by a floating crane.”
The cranes are not just flexible in a single port. They can be moved easily from one port to another, adds COO and co-owner Kevin Goeyvaerts: “Since mobile harbour cranes are not permanently installed, they can be loaded onto a ship and taken to wherever they are needed. Our customers benefit from the fact that our seven locations are all quite close to each other, so that the crane is always available on site quickly and ready for use. Mobile harbour cranes offer a particularly high efficiency and make us a reliable partner for our customers of all kinds and sizes.”
Goeyvaerts’ customer base is extremely diverse: “Users of our services include start-ups that want to keep their financial risk low, companies with a temporary need for harbour cranes, and companies that want to increase their operational flexibility with additional cranes,” says Rudi Goeyvaerts. What they all have in
to serve customers in Belgium and the Netherlands
common, he says, is that they are looking for a temporary solution for their cargo handling needs — they need fast performance and reliability. Konecranes Gottwald mobile harbour cranes offer exactly that, and for all types of goods: “We have both special bulk handling cranes and all-rounders for the handling of containers, general cargo and project goods in our fleet. Medium-sized cranes are there as well as large ones.”
Konecranes Gottwald mobile harbour cranes have earned a lasting reputation among Goeyvaerts’ customers for being particularly efficient, while also offering a high degree of robustness and userfriendliness. These are also particularly important characteristics for rental cranes, as Kevin Goeyvaerts explains: “We rent our cranes with or without an operator. If the latter is the case, it must be ensured that the customer’s operator can quickly adjust to the crane. It goes without saying that a certain robustness is advantageous, especially during the familiarization phase.”
A LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP
All these characteristics combined are what have made Konecranes Gottwald mobile harbour cranes the technology of choice for Goeyvaerts. The customer relationship between Goeyvaerts and Konecranes is in its third crane generation, as Alexandros Stogianidis, Senior Sales Manager, Mobile Harbor Cranes, Konecranes Port Solutions, points out: “Goeyvaerts is a fast-growing business that operates in very dynamic ports environment. These include Rotterdam and Antwerp, the two largest ports in Europe, and various types of goods are handled. We are proud to have contributed to Goeyvaerts’ growth during the last years.”
Goeyvaerts is a perfect example of how customers can grow with Konecranes,
Alexandros Stogianidis explains: “At the beginning of our relationship were Generation 4 and Generation 5 cranes previously owned by the Port of Antwerp. These cranes convinced Goeyvaerts and their customers, which led them to invest in new Konecranes Gottwald mobile harbour cranes from 2015 on. Today, Goeyvaerts operates an impressive fleet across its seven sites. We are particularly
pleased that Goeyvaerts ordered seven Generation 6 cranes shortly after their launch, four ESP.6 cranes with 49m working radius and three ESP.8B with 54m working radius.”
SEVEN GENERATION 6 CRANES ORDERED
In addition to the good experience with the existing fleet, confidence in Konecranes’ customer-focused innovation played a major role in this decision for the new generation, says Rudi Goeyvaerts: “We steadily need more cranes to meet growing demand in the crane rental business. Besides, we want to offer our customers state-of-the-art technology. With this in mind, we have taken a close look at the new Generation 6 crane and its advantages.
“We have considered the new generation to be a very intelligent development that will raise the benchmark in the rental crane market in terms of reliability and service life. In addition, the new cranes offer a high level of crane intelligence and, with their particularly high eco-efficiency, will help us to reduce fuel and maintenance costs as well as lower emissions.”

RINEER HEAVY DUTY VANE MOTORS FROM BOSCH REXROTH
The RINEER vane motor series from Bosch Rexroth, which was previously used primarily in North America, is now available worldwide. The series offers the highest power density with maximum torque as well as the robustness even under the most adverse climatic conditions and high dirt loads. The vane motor makes only low demands on oil cleanliness. In the US, the motors have primarily been used in maritime and offshore applications, but are also used in oil and gas production and numerous other heavy-duty applications.
RINEER motors are particularly robust and provide continuously high starting and stalling torques right from the start. Working vanes in the rotor create uninterrupted output torque regardless of angular position, while sealing vanes in the stator create an effective seal between the high- and low-pressure sections. This allows users to utilize maximum torque even at very low rotations. At the same time, the motor enables maximum speeds and full torque on a continuous basis. Frequent and fast start/stop sequences as well as direction changes are possible at any time without mechanical wear. As a result, the RINEER vane motor from Bosch Rexroth offers a long service life with maximum availability.
The motor family comprises four series consisting of more than 70 displacement variants and covers a torque range from 248Nm to 18.718Nm. Due to their design, the economic motors achieve an optimum power-to-weight ratio with very high power density and lower noise emissions. The compact direct drive can replace otherwise

The new MAXXDRIVE ® XD Robust Modular From a single source
Mini-mixer will be the torque of many industries
A torque sensor is helping analyse recipes’ mixing properties in a project that could slash development costs in the food and plastics industry and help nanotechnology advances in the pharmaceuticals world.
The research and development is being carried out at the University of Bradford by Professor Hadj Benkreira and Dr Raj Patel in collaboration with Dr Martin Gale, formerly of RAPRA Technology (Shawbury) now Visiting Professor. They have been developing a miniature mixer (5-25 grams batch) that incorporates a set of integral instruments to monitor the properties of materials as they are being mixed. The instruments work in real time during the mixing process and their output is captured to a PC for subsequent analysis. Software is being written so that the analysis can be performed simultaneously with the mixing and perhaps even used to interactively control the mixer itself.
One of the key parameters to be measured is the torque of the mixing element, as this will become constant once mixing is complete. This is measured by a TorqSense non-contact sensor that offers the development team the great advantage of not requiring complex and delicate slip rings, making the mixer easier to build (and rebuild between trials) and far more robust in operation.
The Mini Mixer development and validation is the result of a three year EPSRC sponsored programme of research.
The results of this research are expected to have a major impact on formulation of viscous mixes and scale-up of extruders.
Traditionally recipes for formulating say specific coloured plastics for consumer products are developed in 25 to 50kg batches, mixed in an industrial scale twin screw compounder. Several batches may be required before the recipe is finalized, so the cost and time involved can be considerable.
Clearly the development of a smaller mixer is advantageous, but the laboratory device must be able to duplicate mixing in the larger scale and guide design and operation of large machines and that is what the research programme has achieved. That fact that the technology will
transfer to the plastic industry and other soft solid sectors means it is likely to rapidly recoup development costs.
Dr Raj Patel explains why he selected TorqSense in preference to a conventional strain gauge based transducer. “In a development project like this you are constantly dismantling and rebuilding the equipment.TorqSense torque sensors saves us considerable time and effort (and therefore cost and frustration) because it is so simple to set up.”
“It will be used in the final commercial design of the mixer too, where its simplicity of use will be much appreciated by busy scientists, engineers and technologists.”

REEL MÖLLER
Hamburg-Moorburg plant.
pneumatic transport and storage systems for bulk materials handling
In 2008, Vattenfall Europe Generation began with the realization of two new units of hard coal-fired power plants at Hamburg-Moorburg in Hamburg port, with a gross output of 820MWel each, write Alen Menzildzic, Solution Sales, REEL Möller
GmbH; and Ansgar Stein, Plant engineer, Conveying technology, Vattenfall. Having MÖLLER® conveying and storage solutions successfully in operation in many of its other power plants, Vattenfall decided to implement the same technology for the fly
Benefits of the TURBUFLOW system
The TURBUFLOW system is highly cost effective and boasts the following advantages: very low conveying velocitiesv inside the pipeline, reducing wear; eliminates blockages; it isv possible to restart with a full pipe; low maintenance and highlyv reliable; energy efficient conveying;v minimal air requirement —v smaller compressors and exhaust air filters; and self-regulating; no additionalv valves are required along the pipe.
ash handling, storage and loading for these two new units.
ASH EXTRACTION/ ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATORS (ESP)
In 2015 Moorburg started operation. The hard coal fire of each boiler creates up to 25tph (tonnes per hour) of fly ash. The fly ash from flue gas is extracted by ESP.
Usually, TURBUFLOW conveying systems are fed by a single or double pressure vessel system. In this case, however, the chosen solution is a MÖLLER MultiTURBUFLOW system, in which a group of pressure vessels share one common conveying line.
The ESP in each unit is divided in two halves, each with 24 hoppers, arranged in four rows with six fields in gas flow direction. A pressure vessel is installed below each hopper. The six pressure
vessels in each row acts as a functional unit that operates like a single pressure vessel. All six pressure vessels in a group are either being filled or conveying at the same time, instead of one after another. Four rows of pressure vessels share one
common TURBUFLOW conveying pipeline, which conveys the ash to one of the designated silos.
Filling and discharging of the pressure vessels is controlled by MÖLLER’s Intelligent Cycle Control System (ICC).
ICC controls conveying time and conveying pressure to determine the quantity of material currently being conveyed, enabling to decide the optimum time intervals for filling pauses, filling regime and conveying cycles, in order to reduce both conveying air and energy consumption especially due to varying boiler loads from 30–100%. In this way, the system is able to convey in every boiler load case maximum amount of fly ash with minimum number of conveying cycles — a highly efficient solution.
The pressure vessels are sized to accommodate the amount of ash produced. The ash amount coming from the rear fields of the ESP is significantly smaller, so that the pressure vessels in these fields are attached directly below the hoppers.
ASH STORAGE
The ash quality is analysed while it is still in the ESP to determine if it is suitable for use in the building material industry. When it is, the ash is stored in one of the two 33,000m2 long-term quality ash storage silos. Any ash that does not meet the required standards is deposited in the smaller waste ash silo.
The routing of the conveying lines is designed to enable any conveying pipe to discharge ash into any silo. Discharge is controlled by either MÖLLER two-way
diverter valves, or, for conveying pipes with higher pressure MÖLLER dome valves with inflatable sealing are used.
Long-term fly ash storage silos are capable of storing fly ash for several months and still discharge safely and easily. This is thanks, in part, to thoroughly dried conveying air and to the extra-wide silo outlets. Also the ash recirculation system, which pumps the ash from bottom to top of the silo helps to prevent solidification of ash.
In order to protect the silo, as well as the material, MÖLLER designed a special unloading program that extracts ash in areas of the silo where the levels are the highest. This eliminates the danger presented by asymmetric loads.
All silos are equipped with truck loading systems that are designed for loading dry ash (into closed silo trucks) and humidified ash (to be loaded onto open dump trucks).
TO THE HARBOUR
Moorburg quality fly ash is used in the cement industry, so it has to be conveyed to the Moorburg pier for shipping out to cement producers facilities. From both quality ash silos, the fly ash is conveyed to the harbour silo via pressure vessels and TURBUFLOW conveying pipe operating at 400tph. The harbour silo then supplies the
mobile shiploader’s silo with up to 600tph of fly ash from MÖLLER pressure vessels with two TURBUFLOW conveying pipelines. Both conveying pipes has seven docking points on the pier to give the ship loader the flexibility to reach all hatches without shifting the vessel.
The shiploader is designed to load dry and humidified ash directly onto cement carriers at Moorburg pier with up to 4m tidal range.
The shiploader can load cement carriers either via a loading spout with 400 to 600tph dry ash or via a belt conveyor with up to 300tph humified ash. The same belt conveyor can also be used for loading up to 1,000tph of FGD gypsum.
CONCLUSION
“Vattenfall Moorburg is always impressed with the quality of MÖLLER conveying and storage systems. The conveying systems provided for this project are clean, reliable, efficient, and we have since returned to MÖLLER to supply other projects. The after sales performance of REEL MÖLLER can be stated as very satisfying,” says Ansgar Stein, Plant engineer/Conveying technology, Vattenfall.
The Hamburg-Moorburg plant was closed in June 2021 due to the political situation.
... on good ideas
Environmental benefits were key factors in Alunorte’s decision to award the Brazilian contract for a new shiploader to Bruks Siwertell. All Siwertell shiploaders are totally enclosed providing a dust-free operation with no spillage.
Environmental benefits and mechanical efficiency were key factors in Brazilian alumina producer Alunorte’s decision to opt for a Siwertell alumina shiploader.
It is used to load Kamsarmax vessels of up to 80,000dwt at Alunorte’s production
plant in northeast Brazil.
Alunorte owns one of the world’s largest alumina production plants. It contracted Bruks Siwertell to replace its existing belt-type shiploader, which needed to be changed because of problems related to its high dust emissions.
Bruks Siwertell’s new shiploader is built to a different design concept. The new design is based on a totally enclosed air slide system and a Cleveland cascade-type vertical telescopic loading spout. The

bulk loading systems and technologies in the spotlight
provision of two dust collectors at the transfer points makes this a very efficient loading system in terms of the elimination of dust emissions into the environment. The loader is constructed on a travelling gantry and has one horizontal arm capable of slewing and luffing motions, fitted with a vertically adjustable loading spout.
The operator cabin is located on an arm which extends out over the ship’s hold.This provides the operator with a perfect view of the loading operation.
NEUERO shiploaders: focus shifting from CAPEX to OPEX
There is an evolution taking place in the field of shiploading — the focus is now increasingly on OPEX (operating expenses) instead of CAPEX (capital expenditures).
It is also widely accepted that a shiploader should not only fill a vessel’s hold efficiently, but that it should also be acceptable to all stakeholders. Neighbours complaining about dust emissions, for example, could, in an extreme case, stop operations. Many ports are located close to cities, which increases the pressure to solve pollution in water, air and noise.
Many shiploaders look similar and also have similar KIKO (kick-in/kick-out) and telescopic movements. As usual, the devil lies in the detail. Telescopic movements should move in both directions, pull and push — not only pull. Filters should be able to capture the air with dust from the pipes with reserve. A system should be able to detect the flow and adjust itself to avoid product to speed up.
Today with technologies like the KIKO DLH system, this problem is solved. The differential is the automation of operations with self-learning software. Intelligent shiploaders provide the best operational conditions at all times. This is much more efficient and facilitates operations. The operator can concentrate on filling all spaces, and does not have to focus on controlling the material flow. This is the next step in automating the operation.
a telescopic spout and rotating spoon was standard. Some shiploaders included a jet slinger to throw product under the hatch. The problem with this is that in many cases, it is not possible to see where the product is being thrown, making it difficult and unhealthy work.
NEUERO, a renowned specialist in shiploading and unloading, worked with a client that needed to was hundreds of cars every week as its system emitted such high levels of dust. This was expensive, because the operator was regularly fined, and new equipment was required to replace the old, inefficient system.
The same applies with another operator — having bought a simpler system without efficient dust-suppression, the operator now needs to change its equipment. NEUERO hopes to win the contract and supply its KIKO DLH systems, as it has a strong understanding of all factors, and knows that terminals that have already invested in dust control systems would be most unhappy to have a dusty neighbour.
Dust control is often subject to rules that are not entirely clear — but there are fewer excuses made when a neighbour invests in an efficient system.
The KIKO DLH system is a commonly used solution that offers a reduced OPEX.
Kinder Australia: lining media to ensure smooth loading and unloading
A major issue encountered during loading and unloading operations — as well as handling and storage in general — is blockages, and flow problems. These can be caused by poor chute design and varying moisture content.
Using linings can be an effective solution. However, not all conveyed materials are the same, and therefore not all lining media should be the same. Each lining application must be evaluated properly, taking into consideration all aspects of the material being handled. These factors determine the grade, material and style of the lining media used. Some factors to consider: material/particle size andv concentration; material moisture content andv environmental conditions; impact strength;v abrasion; andv chute shape & head room restriction.v
Kinder Australia can offer lining media to suit a wide range of applications, to stop common issues such as bridging/arching, caking, ratholing and wear.
K-SLIP
The K-Slip Rubber Backed UHMWPE Wear Liner is a low co-efficient of friction thin polyethylene lining material, with a synthetic rubber backing (SBR). The thin flexibility of Kinder Australia’s K-Slip
Rubber Backed UHMWPE Wear Liner allows almost any complicated shape to be lined including bins, hoppers and chutes, providing a reliable and effective uniform surface and therefore improve the controlled rate of flow. The application to
a metal surface is by normal cold rubber bonding.
The flow of very fine particles, although not a high wear problem, does present a new challenge in the way in which it flows, or importantly, not flows. Fine nonabrasive particles having passed through the crushing and grinding circuit, may be required to flow through complicated shaped chutes where restricted head room limits the advantage of effective chute design. Lining with a conventional low friction material can be difficult to install in these complicated transition and confined points. Round corners and acute angles do not fix well with fasteners; in fact they often provide another point on which the material can bridge.
When handling mineral concentrates especially, these material types tend to hang up on any surface and at any angle.
Kinder Australia’s K-Slip Rubber Backed UHMWPE Wear Liner has been used successfully to overcome many of these flow problems. Advantages include: extra slippery with very low co-v efficient of friction; thin and flexible for complicatedv shape applications; synthetic rubber backing —v adhesive available.
K-SLIDE
K-Slide UHMWPE Low Friction Liner features unique properties that deliver a low co-efficient of friction, superior abrasion and corrosion resistance. The UHMWPE low friction liner is light weight and easy to work with. However, they cannot be used in continuous service above 85°C, or where they are subject to large or sharp feed with high energy.
K-Slide UHMWPE Low Friction Liners cover a wide range of grades to suit all applications considering abrasion resistance, impact strength, UV-stabilized or having anti-static properties. K-Slide UHMWPE liner is available in wide varying thickness and sheet sizes.
K-Slide UHMWPE Low Friction Liner products offer a high-performance abrasion resistant solution in difficult bulk material handling applications. Flow problems such as ratholing, bridging and caking may be solved by the use of a low friction lining material.
Blockages and flow problems may be encountered because of poor chute design and varying moisture content. Each lining application must be evaluated properly, taking consideration all aspects of the material being handled. These
factors determine the grade of UHMWPE lining media used.
K-Slide UHMWPE Low Friction Liners: offer easy installation for coatedv surface applications, standard installations or oversized sheets; are ideally suited for high velocity, highv impact load zone and excessive abrasion applications and where a superior 100% poly surface is a key requirement for attaching poly surfaces onto hardware; are highly effective in securing UHMWv and fasteners parts to achieve a 100% poly on poly surface; have bolts and all fittings that are allv zinc-plated for corrosion resistance; improve performance of existingv hardware and extends the wear life of parts;
have a low co-efficient of friction PLUSv basic wear protection; offer abrasion and corrosionv resistance; are available in a wide range ofv thickness and sheet sizes.

The made in America shiploader travelled more than 1,500 miles by barge from New Orleans, Louisiana, up the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers to Jones Island. This equipment is capable of loading 40,000 bushel/1,100 tonnes per hour onto both vessels and barges.
The shiploader, which is currently being installed on Jones Island, will serve as the heart of DeLong’s loading operations and represents a major milestone in the development of the agricultural maritime export facility at Port Milwaukee.
Construction of the full facility is expected to be complete in 2023, coinciding with the annual start of Port Milwaukee’s international shipping season.
“Milwaukee is an economic catalyst for our state and region, and this addition to the Port’s operations will expand the partnership that includes The DeLong Co., the City of Milwaukee, Wisconsin agriculture and world markets,” said Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson. “Thank you to DeLong for its continued growth at Port Milwaukee.”
“We at DeLong are excited to see the progression of this project. Our shiploader is currently being installed and we hope to have final project completion by March
2023,” said Bo DeLong, Vice President of Grain at The DeLong Co., Inc.
“Delivery and installation of the shiploader, as part of the future agricultural maritime export facility, is a turning point in our efforts to realize new agricultural opportunities and advance economic activity in the city and throughout the Great Lakes region,” said Port Milwaukee Director Adam Tindall-Schlicht. “The port is looking forward to next year when the terminal comes to life. Wisconsinproduced cargoes handled on Jones Island will be multiplied through new rail and vessel efficiency at the DeLong terminal.”
The new facility, located on the west side of Jones Island, will be one of the first
on the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway (GLSLS) system to handle various agricultural commodities via truck, rail and international vessel, including dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGs). DDGs are an animal feed supplement derived as a byproduct of ethanol high in nutrients. This facility will open Wisconsin’s maritime and agricultural economies to new international markets for this and other products. Future service at the facility may also include the export of Wisconsin-grown soybeans, corn and grain.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation has estimated the DeLong terminal will alone generate $63 million in new statewide economic impact annually, increasing exports through Port Milwaukee by as much as 400,000 metric tonnes per year.
Thanks to a robust public-private partnership, this development is the largest one-time investment in Port Milwaukee since the 1950s, when the St. Lawrence Seaway was being built. Port Milwaukee was one of the first nationwide grant recipients of the Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP) through the U.S. Department of Transportation. Additional facility funding has been provided by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, Port Milwaukee, and The DeLong Co., Inc. Overall terminal construction costs are currently estimated at approximately $40 million.

BACKGROUND
DSI Sandwich Belt high angle conveyors are proven, versatile systems for elevating or lowering materials continuously at steep angles up to 90°. Widely varying industries have exploited the benefits of Sandwich conveyors.
They have found application in coal mining, preparation, power and synfuels, in various minerals and metals mining, in municipal waste treatment, rapid transit projects, pulp
and paper mills, cement plants, and transshipment of grain.
Throughput rates for Dos Santos Sandwich Belt high angle conveyors that have been put into operation vary from 0.27 to 4,250tph (tonnes per hour). Conveying profiles vary widely and elevating heights range from 3.66m to 174.8m. These installations are by no means the limit of this versatile technology, however.
THE SANDWICH BELT PRINCIPLE
The Sandwich Belt high angle conveyor consists of a carrying conveyor belt which is supported on closely spaced troughing idlers. A floating cover belt is gently pressed onto the conveyed material by closely spaced, fully equalized, pressing rolls. The required material hugging pressure varies according to the conveying angle, material characteristics and the dynamics of the system. The hugging pressure device is, therefore, designed for the specific requirements of the application with provision for field adjustments.
IN HARMONY WITH THE ENVIRONMENT
Various industries have utilized Sandwich Belt conveyors. Even before the increased awareness for environmental compliance, Sandwich Belt conveyors provided the following benefits with

Because Sandwich conveyors can be housed in a facility, they will require the least amount of wall and roof surface. For heated facilities in cold climates, they offer the least heat escape, thus the lowest heating cost.
creating a power source: a downhillv Sandwich conveyor system can operate regeneratively, thereby feeding power to the grid, becoming a power source.
Industries that have benefited from these features include sludge and sawdust handling in composting systems, biomass for fuel in the form of RDF (refuse derived fuel to garbage) to power projects, hog fuel at pulp and paper mills and shredded tyres for fuel at cement plants, to name a few.
CONFORMITY TO THE LANDSCAPE
Sandwich Belt high angle conveyors’ ability to conform to the irregular profile of the landscape was proven at a Virginia, USA mine. Coal refuse was being hauled from the prep plant to the dump site along a steep mountain path by two aerial tramways. They travelled conspicuously above the mountain slopes and created a black streak of spillage under their respective travel paths. Steep curving ramps for the trucking scarred the landscape, while the trucks polluted the air with fumes, particulates and noise and created the potential for disaster from traffic accidents.
The Sandwich conveyor eliminated these problems while offering a conveying capacity higher than the previous combined
system. High angle, as well as conventional conveyors were considered for this application, however conventional conveyors required considerable elevated structure, were obtrusive on the landscape and with the several additional transfer points, created a potential source of spillage and additional expense.
COMPACT ARRANGEMENTS
In some cases, Sandwich Belt high angle conveyors have facilitated materials transfers in very tight spaces at existing sites, while in others they have opened the door for the most compact new materials handling systems. A vertical DSI GPS Sandwich Conveyor for the Paris Metro tunneling project elevated sticky tunnel muck at a design rate of 800tph. This was done without disturbing vehicular or pedestrian traffic.
The particular challenge of this project was the requirement to provide a versatile system that will be reused in future projects. Accordingly, Dos Santos International designed a system with a high
degree of versatility — particularly extend-ability. With all the drive and take up equipment located at the head end, DSI designed the vertical portion as a hanging structure which can be extended as necessary for higher lifts at future applications. The two Sandwich conveyors at the two sites in Paris are nearly identical, with only a small difference in the length of the vertical portion. DSI designed both conveyors for the possibility of increasing the lift to 45m. The two conveyors in Paris have vertical lifts of 24.6m and 26.3m respectively and can be used for any intermediate height up to 45m. This makes them very versatile for use at future sites.
MINIMIZING EXCAVATION, DISTURBANCE OF THE SUB-SURFACE
Sandwich Belt conveyors allow the most
direct haulage path from deep open pit mines and from underground excavation projects. A high capacity, high lift system can most certainly handle the severe haulage requirements.
One such system conveyed hard primary crushed rock (250mm minus) along the steep mine wall, directly out of the pit. This substantially reduced the truck haulage requirements of that mine, displacing ten 240-tonne trucks from the severest of haulage duties (the slow, high power, continuous climb to the surface).
As important as it is to eliminate the associated pollution and accident potential, minimizing of total excavation for the ore recovered is also important. The Sandwich Belt system requires no additional excavation. Conventional conveyors, though nearly equally efficient to the Sandwich belt conveyor, do require additional excavation and/or additional transfer points because of the limited slope capability.
REDUCTION IN REAL ESTATE AND SPATIAL VOLUME
The challenge to use the least amount of space possible to process and separate kimberlite at Canadian diamond mines was the motivation for the installation of DSI Sandwich Belt high angle conveyors.
The first project was in the Northwest Territories at Snap Lake. The ore body was a dyke that dipped an average of 12 15° from the northwest shore down under the lake. Kimberlite, the diamond bearing ore was brought to the surface to a processing facility where the diamonds were

Deployed as the most effective way to load a truck with bulk goods.
extracted. Because of the hostile environment, the facilities had to be enclosed and heated. A smaller footprint for the plant was determined to be the optimal way to minimize environmental impact and cost.
The original concept was to use a multitude of Sandwich conveyors to minimize the facilities. This was ultimately rationalized to require only two Sandwich conveyors, which defined the facility’s minimal footprint. The ability to convey at any high angle, along with the Sandwich Belt imparting a gentle, yet firm hugging pressure on the material, allowed the precious gems within the kimberlite to be elevated at high angles without damage or spillage. The Snap Lake project incorporated two DSI Sandwich conveyors, each travelling to opposite ends of the building. The units were standardized at 36” belt width to simplify spare parts inventory. Design of the units included provision for future upgrade, from 275tph to 524tph, merely by increasing the belt speed. By operating at the lower speed
until the upgrade is required by the Sandwich conveyors, optimal energy efficiency is preserved.
The success of Snap Lake then led to the incorporation of DSI Sandwich Belt conveyors into the Victor Project in Northeastern Ontario. The Victor Project, Ontario’s first diamond mine, had three DSI Sandwich belt units in operation.
Simplification of inventory was further exercised at the Victor Project with all units at 42” belt width. However, tonnage requirements for these units vary from a low of 185tph at unit 11 to a high of 422tph at unit 12. For prolonged equipment life and energy conservation, unit 11 ran at a slower speed than the other units.
The Snap Lake Mine was operated by DeBeers with a commitment to maintain the highest environmental standards. It was the only diamond mine in the Northwest Territories that certified its environmental management systems to the high international standard, ISO 14001 through advanced exploration, construction and pre-operations.
CREATING A POWER SOURCE
A downhill Sandwich conveyor at a Venezuelan phosphate mine combined the duties of a gathering conveyor from beneath the storage pile and an overland conveyor. This eliminated a transfer and much elevated structure. An added feature to this system was that as a regenerative lowering system, it produced electricity to become a power source.
Another example of a power producing downhill system is the DSI GPS Sandwich Belt conveyor for the Los Filos gold mine. This system would bring material from the crusher, downhill, to the leach pads. In operation, it would have produced 220kW of power. Unfortunately, this conveyor contract was cancelled due to geological instability on the mountainside. Instead, DSI designed an overland conveyor system that had the same lowering difference, but because of the losses inherent in a multiflight conventional conveyor, it produced only 14.5kW of power.
OTHER INDUSTRIES THAT BENEFIT
The versatility of Sandwich Belt conveyors allow for endless profiles that are adaptable to many widely varying configurations, especially beneficial for environmentally friendly projects.
At composting systems, city sludge is mixed with sawdust and composted into a useful material, a soil additive. In biomass to fuel and RDF, garbage to power, a Sandwich Belt conveyor replaced four pocket belts that were in place at a plant in Florida.
In Maine, at a pulp and paper mill, the refuse bark and rejected chips went to a boiler to serve as fuel. This would otherwise be wasted materials.
Finally, DSI designed a hybrid Sandwich Belt high angle conveyor to efficiently transport shredded tyres at a cement plant to create an alternative fuel source for cement production. Instead of disposing of the rejected tyres, they now serve as a power source for the cement plant.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
The Sandwich Belt high angle conveyor system is used widely throughout the world in various industries. It can conform to the environment by virtue of its sandwiching, high volume, high angle, and conforming profile features. It has furthermore proven reliable and economical. The Sandwich Belt conveyor, when employed, results in minimal material transfers, minimal displacement of space, i.e. minimal intrusion into the environment, and proves to be a positive solution to environmental challenges.
The Raring Corporation — dust suppression at its finest
The Raring Corporation (TRC), in conjunction with its exclusive North American Sales & Distribution company, PEBCO Inc, is a company focused on the control of airborne dust in the industrial workplace. Its technology is simple, low cost and natural. TRC uses no chemicals, therefore helping to keep the world clean. The company operates worldwide and has installed over 600 systems around the globe — and it has been doing so for 38 years.
Raring’s manufacturing facility is located in Vancouver WA USA where its unique technology is created to help with reducing dust emissions in many of the different materials associated within the dry bulk materials industry such as sand, coal, copper, iron ore, cement, phosphate rock, limestone. The ADSTM (Atomized Dust Suppression System) technology also applies to many different plant applications including barge unloading, reclaim tunnels, trippers and cascades, transfer points, screens, truck dumps, crushers, bins and silos and limestone handling.
By combining air and water, 1 30 micron water particles are created in the same range as the airborne respirable dust. Fog dust collection systems are highly efficient, patented, fine particle scrubbers that use very little water and do not increase the overall moisture of the flowing material.
Successful application of dry fog technology to industrial dust control requires four design elements: containment;v an adequate quantity of fog;v retention time; andv collection surface.v
Of the four, containment is the most important.
One very interesting integration of a passive and active technology is what TRC created on an unloading hopper at a port facility. By combining a wind fence from WeatherSolve and the ADSTM Dry Fog System, TRC offered a unique way to control the dust at specific points. The wind fences are built to withstand hurricanes and cyclones due to their overload release system. By keeping the dust contained within the wind fence boundary, this allowed the retention time needed for the fog to do its job.
Another example of the ADSTM Dust Suppression Fogging System is integrating the system with another piece of equipment in the barge loading

industry. Barge/shiploading can be a little more difficult and each one presents its own challenges.
The main challenge can be containment and most of the time an operational modification is needed to help minimize the amount of dust generated.
For one such project the Raring Corporation used the PEBCO Telescopic Chute and installed a TRC ADSTM Dry Fog spray ring at the bottom end of the chute, thereby providing the dust control system and the containment required. The
telescopic chute loads the hold from the top of the pile and the spray ring will generate enough fog to fill the hold with a dense cloud of fog to keep the dust inside the ship hold.
When dust is generated and the spray ring is fogging, dust sticks to the fog and the dust particles become heavier and eventually settle down into the hold. Fog spray rings have also been used with a PEBCO Dustless Loading Spout to contain silica dust within an open truck loadout application. Fog spray rings can also be integrated with the PEBCO Cascade Chute® for applications such as stockpiles, ship and barge loading.
In conjunction with its partners, The Raring Corporation continues to develop ways to decrease the effect of dust emissions in industry to pave the way for a cleaner planet.

New wood pellet import unit inaugurated in the port of Rouen
The biomass sector is gaining momentum at HAROPA PORT. A pellet import and packaging unit has just been inaugurated in the port of Rouen by TotalEnergies. Located on the banks of the Seine in Grand-Couronne, the site is the result of a partnership with the port operator Sea Invest. Bulk carriers will unload wood pellets from Northern Europe.
On Thursday 22 September 2022, TotalEnergies inaugurated a site for loading and bagging the wood pellets that are used for heating. The new facilities are located in Grand-Couronne, south of Rouen, on the site of the port terminals operated by Sea Invest. TotalEnergies’ investment amounts
to approximately €1.5 million. The site can process 25,000 tonnes of pellets per year with the aim of reaching 50,000 tonnes within three years. The pellets are intended for private individuals and local authorities within a 200km radius of Rouen.
TotalEnergies’ screening and bagging unit completes the new 9,000m2 H10 warehouse built by Sea Invest on the Quai
de la Papeterie, a terminal that has been entirely renovated by HAROPA PORT| Rouen. The port operator already provides storage for pellets, imported from Northern Europe on board ships of 4,000 deadweight tonnes. Sea Invest has invested €5 million in the construction of the new warehouse. The partnership between Sea Invest and TotalEnergies strengthens Rouen’s biomass industry, which is also represented by the operator DockSeine. Last August, the port of Rouen received for the first time a ship loaded with 20,000 tonnes of pellets for industrial use.
THE FRENCH MARKET IS ALMOST SELFSUFFICIENT
Each year, TotalEnergies sells around 200,000 tonnes of pellets in France. This represents a market share of around 10% for pellets. “We are counting on a threefold increase by 2030 to reach 600,000 tonnes, which is equivalent to the consumption of 500,000 households,” says François Boussagol, Commercial Director of TotalEnergies France.
Eighty-five per cent of the pellets are sourced in France, making the national market virtually self-sufficient. France consumes about 2.5mt (million tonnes) of
pellets per year for a production of 2mt. Some 500,000 tonnes are therefore imported mainly from Finland, Sweden, Lithuania and Latvia. “The imported pellets come from sustainably managed forests,” says François Boussagol. Pellets emit 15 times less CO2 than domestic fuel oil and make it possible to use waste from sawmills.
The inauguration of the new facilities comes against a backdrop of strong tensions in the supply chains and a doubling of the price of pellets in one year. With international energy prices rising and fears of shortages, wood pellets have become scarce and prices have soared.
Demand is up to six times higher than last year, according to Propellet, the national association for wood pellet heating. For fear of running out, the French have built up large stocks, creating tension on the market.
This phenomenon is due to “the craze for this form of energy but also to the crisis in Ukraine which destabilizes the usual producers such as Belarus, Ukraine and Russia,” concludes Boussagol.
Reliable storage and handling of biomass materials
Biomass is a general term used to describe a variety of materials including wood chips, pellets, saw dust, milled switch grass, corn stover, etc., writes Dr. Jayant Khambekar, Senior Consultant, Jenike & Johanson. From a material storage and handling perspective, these materials can exhibit various handling challenges. Materials such as milled corn stover are very light and often exhibit nesting tendencies that result in discharge issues from hoppers and silos, whereas materials such as woodchips exhibit strong interlocking tendencies. Pellets may undergo attrition and generate dust, which can pose an explosion hazard. Municipal Solids Waste (MSW) is a feedstock which has flow characteristics that are similar to biomass materials. As such, MSW feedstocks also experience similar flow issues during handling. Whether it is gravity-reclaim stockpiles, silos or feed hoppers, or feed-systems to pressurized reactors, unless properly designed, they can experience flow problems such as flow stoppages, limited live storage capacity, feed rate limitation, etc. Similarly, if the feeder and transfer chutes are not designed properly, they can result in flow problems.
Figures 1 and 2 above show examples of biomass flow issues. In general, when flow problems like those described above occur, valuable generation capacity and production time are lost, excessive maintenance and housekeeping costs are incurred, and health and safety issues arise. These problems in the feedstock receiving area can be avoided by properly designing or retrofitting the storage and handling systems.
FLOW PATTERNS
Flow problems and their solutions can be best understood by first learning how bulk solids flow. As bulk solids discharge by gravity from a storage system, two types of flow patterns can develop: funnel flow and mass flow. Figure 3 shows a schematic of these two flow patterns.
In funnel flow, only a portion of the material is in motion during discharge, which flows towards the outlet through a channel that forms within the stagnant material. Funnel flow occurs when a hopper is not sufficiently steep and smooth to ensure flow along the walls and/or when the hopper outlet is not fully activated.
In mass flow, all of the material is in motion whenever any is discharged; there is no stagnant material. Mass flow occurs when the hopper is sufficiently steep and
smooth to ensure flow along the hopper walls. Shallow valleys (at the intersection of adjacent hopper sidewalls) cannot be present, and the outlet must be fully active.
As we shall see in the following section, the flow pattern in which a bulk solid discharges from a storage system strongly influences the flow problems that may occur.
CRITICAL PROPERTIES DESCRIBING FLOW BEHAVIOUR
For the reliable storage and feeding of biomass, the type of handling system used, including its geometry and materials of construction, must be designed to suit the flowability of the material. Whether it is mechanical-reclaim or gravity-reclaim, characterization of flow behaviour is necessary in order to design features of the system. This section lists various tests that can be performed to determine flowability. Flowability is influenced by moisture
flow stoppages due to mechanical interlocking of its particles. It is characterized by particle size, particle shape and elasticity behaviours.
Wall friction between a bulk solid and the wall surface of equipment is critical in determining the flow pattern as well as consolidation pressures acting on a feeder or reclaimer. It is measured as a function of consolidating pressure in accordance with ASTM Standard D 6128. Information obtained from this test is used to determine critical hopper angles for achieving mass flow. The wall material of construction and surface finish must match what will be used for design or analysis purposes.
Compressibility of a bulk solid measures the change in its bulk density as a function of consolidating pressure. It is used to determine storage capacity of equipment and to calculate material induced loads. It is measured in accordance with ASTM Standard D 6683.
ACHIEVING RELIABLE MATERIAL FLOW
content, fines content and storage time at rest, among other things. Hence, flow property tests must be run at representative handling conditions. Some of the most important properties associated with biomass flow behaviour are described below.
Cohesive strength of a bulk solid is used to calculate opening sizes to avoid flow stoppages due to cohesive arching and ratholing. It is measured as a function of consolidating pressure in accordance with ASTM Standard D6128.
Interlocking strength of a bulk solid is used to calculate opening sizes to avoid
Using the flow behaviour test results, a biomass handling system can be designed to achieve reliable flow. The storage system should be designed so as to minimize the consolidation pressures acting on the feeder or reclaimer. The compressibility and wall friction information obtained from flow properties testing can be used in this regard. Additionally, for gravity discharge systems where mass flow is required, the hopper angles must be steep enough to promote flow along the walls.
Material handling is a key component to successful biomass handling. Technology is available for analysing storage and handling systems to eliminate or minimize flow problems in existing facilities, as well as for designing new installations to avoid such problems in the first place. Conducting testing to understand flow behaviour is a key step in this process, to ensure that reliable storage and flow of biomass materials can occur.
PSB Inspection assures the condition of biomass cargoes
PSB Inspection was founded by Peter Bagchus as a 100% private enterprise in 2016, and has been fully operational since 1 February 2017. The company’s headquarters are based in the Rotterdam Port area, in the Netherlands. A team of 12 employees follows the slogan; “Giving up is not an option, we are always available for both our customers and any future customers!”
The team consists of highly experienced surveyors, offering high quality services in the field of inspection, sampling, sample preparation and analytical services. PSB Inspection employees have a broad spectrum of experience in the field of; weight determination of inland vessels, draught surveys of seagoing vessels, gauging, stockpile inspections of coal,
gas/toxid measurements, temperature controls of stockpiles and coal, biomass, alternative fuels, metal and mineral loads and wide inspections of seagoing vessels and inland vessels.
PSB Inspection is well-known and accepted by international producers/ consumers, international trading companies and industrial users of solid fuels. All activities are performed in accordance with the most recent International Standards ISO and/or ASTM standard and internal quality procedures. The company operates in Europe, Turkey, USA, South Africa (and is expanding on that continent to other countries), Latin America and the UK.
BIOMASS
Those at PSB Inspection are convinced it is
important to follow the market and consequently to continuously diversify its product flows and expand its service portfolio in line with the requirements of its customer base.
Currently, the uncertain situation worldwide requires creative solutions regarding the extraction, transport, and use of fuels. Where the largest market seen so far has been in coal, it is becoming increasingly important as a customer to become less dependent on the global raw material flow and supply, but to look for fuel production closer to home. Currently, the uncertain situation not only in the energy market but worldwide requires creative solutions regarding diversification in the use of (solid) fuels and transporting same. Coal is and will remain until further
notice the largest energy source, but it becomes more and more important that the world is getting less dependent, i.e. we need alternative energy sources coming from alternative supplying countries not only coming from the far end of the world but also closer to home.
A good example of this is the increasing worldwide demand for biomass. Despite the fact that there are question marks raised on biomass as a fuel, it contributes to the energy mix. This is important due to the globally growing energy demand — and it is also increasingly important to safeguard the planet to mitigate against climate change.
It goes without saying that the transport of biomass is also subject to the same sustainability criteria as other cargoes; rules are becoming more stringent, and climate change issues are ever more pressing. Basically, this strategy comes down to decreasing the emission of CO2 — it should be said that the raw (woody) materials which are used are residues of the forestry/timber industry, and these cause the emission of methane gas if they are left on the ground unused. This methane gas is 21 times worse than the emission of CO2 which obviously does
In the longer term, the aim is to use sustainable biomass and/or liquid biofuels for high-value applications in economic sectors, where there are few alternatives — for example, as a raw material in industry and as a fuel in heavy vehicles, aviation, and shipping. It should be noted that the latter is already happening but on a smaller scale than in the electricity producing sector.
To ensure that biomass becomes the most sustainable possible, several European climate agreements have been made about the raw materials to be used, production processes and use of these products, as mentioned above. In this way, the sustainability of imported biomass in the countries of origin is actively promoted and secured, i.e., it requires e.g., SBP or FSC certification gu aranteeing it complies with the regulations set and concluded in the existing agreements, not only in the EU but globally. Only then can we say that biomass is not only contributing to the current energy mix, but also helping to address concerns about climate change.

Stacker/reclaimer solutions from Bedeschi gain in international popularity
Over the years, Bedeschi has been reinforcing its position as a global player in the bulk handling industry. It offers a wide variety of tailor-made solutions to transport and store any bulk material like coal, iron ore, limestone, fertilizer, clinker, and many others, covering any capacity from 100tph (tonnes per hour) to 10,000tph.
Bedeschi is already renowned for its traditional stackers and reclaimers designed for sticky and difficult materials — and the most complete range of equipment for power, cement chemical, and mining plants. However, it can also offer special applications like the combined stacker/reclaimer bucketwheel, which has lately been the most supplied item of equipment. By the end of this year, the company will have provided over ten new
bucketwheel stackers and reclaimers, operating on coal and iron ore worldwide.
The combine machine, as well as stacking the material coming from the trailer, reclaims the same material from the bucketwheel. By reversing the travel direction of the boom conveyor, it carries the material to the central hopper. From the hopper, the material is then transported to the storage conveyor (the conveyor can be the same one used for the stacking operations, or it can be a dedicated conveyor).
Usually, these machines are designed for a stacking capacity higher than the reclaiming capacity: the reason being that during the stacking operations, there is no digging force of the bucketwheel. Therefore, the capacity can be increased to balance the friction force during reclaiming operations.
KEEPING OPERATIONS GREEN
Bedeschi has always been involved in safeguarding the environment and is committed to manufacturing the machines to the highest environmental standards, so that it delivers the most efficient equipment possible to its clients.
It is no wonder that Bedeschi’s machines are present in the most ecological steel plant in Europe. In fact, Bedeschi was awarded the contract to supply the stacking and reclaiming system inside the primary park (mineral and fossil) for Arcerol Mittal in Taranto, Italy. Inside the iron ore stockyard are installed three new machines for bulk handling with innovative characteristics. This solution is turning Taranto into a leading facility in stacking materials. The machines are conceived to optimize the quantity of the
materials handled inside the stockyard, maximizing the covered area and the piles’ height.
In the meantime, these will reduce energy consumption and improve the plant efficiency and reliability. Even if the yards are completely covered and insulated from the outside, environmental safeguards have been taken very seriously, and every effort has been made to reduce dust emissions from the beginning to the loading and unloading operations. In addition, the machine is equipped with a water system on-board.
This system, through a tank, a distribution system, and strategically placed nozzles, significantly reduces dust emissions
without raising the humidity level of the conveyed material. In terms of sustainability, this intervention is unique, and the plant aims to be one of Europe’s most advanced and environmentally friendly facilities.
The erection was done at site outside the dome and then the single machines were moved to their final work positions without interrupting the activities.
CASE STUDIES
Bedeschi can offer a wide variety of tailormade machines and applications in any type of storage, handling different types of materials as the following case studies show:
LONGITUDINAL STORAGE IN GUINEA
At the beginning of 2020, Bedeschi was awarded the contract to supply a bauxite storage facility for Guinea Alumina Corporation.
The plant is located in Kamsar (North of Guinea, Boke Region), and the scope of supply includes a stacker with a capacity of 3,000tph and a 420m-long storage belt conveyor. It is a stacker for handling bauxite both in dry and wet conditions, when the material becomes sticky due to the humidity.
The material is stored in two stockpiles of 160,000 tonnes each with chevron method. The machine has a capacity of 3,000tph and a 42m-long boom.
Fertilizer giant chooses Bedeschi to supply storage facilities in Morocco
OCP, a world leader in phosphates, has chosen Bedeschi once again as material handling partner for a new project: the Office Cherifién des Phosphates has in fact decided to rely on Bedeschi’s know-how for the EPC supply of three new automated storages: two for fertilizer and one for sulphur, for a global storage capacity of 300,000 tonnes of material.
The new equipment will be installed in the chemical complex of Phosboucraa, 30km from the city of Laayoune, in the South of Morocco.
The new project has a strategic importance for the development of the industrial axis known as the ‘southern axe’. The supply consists of material handling equipment for the storage of sulphur in import and the storage of fertilizer in export. In particular, the company will supply, among other things, three trippers, three reclaimers and six conveyor belts with capacities of up to 2,000 tonnes per hour.
The equipment will be similar to the one in the image, already supplied to OCP for the Jorf Lasfar plant in Morocco.
LONGITUDINAL STORAGE IN PERU
For a Peruvian mining company active in the extraction, processing and commercial ization of iron ore, Bedeschi manufactured one STK33/1000 stacker.
The supply includes a new stacker and yard conveyor which are part of the new expansion project of Shougang. They are installed in the San Nicolas beneficiation area, where the mineral is processed and stocked before dispatching.
The conveyor and the stacker are designed for a capacity of 1,800tph handling iron ore, and are in the commissioning phase ready to be handed over to the mine operators.
VERTICAL WALLS BLENDING STORAGE
Bedeschi supplied two BEL Cs and three STKPs for a mixed clay and coal park with a capacity of 470tph in storage and a capacity of 200tph in reclaiming.
This is a typical cement plant for the processing of wet and sticky materials. Bedeschi has long experience in the treatment of this kind of material.
The BEL C system, based on the creation of rectangular section piles, is composed of an interconnected system with a tripper, two bridge stackers and one overhead bucket reclaimer, to provide a complete remote automatic material stacking and reclaiming process. Thanks to
the BEL C system, it is possible to achieve a very high blending effect, comparable to or higher than the best frontal pre-blending bridge reclaimer.
MISCELLANEOUS STACKER CONTRACTS
Bedeschi has also recently awarded two
different projects supplying dry bulk stockyard equipment.
For one client, Bedeschi will supply five bucketwheel stacker/reclaimers to handle coal with a 4,000/4,500tph capacity. For another client, to which Bedeschi has already supplied four reclaimers to
implement the capacity of its existing plant, the company will supply three reclaimers — one for sulphur with a reclaiming capacity of 500tph, and two 1,500tph reclaimers for fertilizer.
These projects are in the commissioning phase.
indurad sensors for a streamlined stockyard
indurad develops and manufactures unique 2D and 3D radar sensors in Germany and is a market leader in industrial imaging radar solutions. Since its foundation in 2009, the company’s radar sensors have mostly been used to improve mining and bulk material handling.
During Covid-19, indurad has benefited from its global presence and by having its manufacturing facilities near its primary Germany-based supply chain. Through an extensive partner network close to customers and its own sales and service centres — in Chile, Brazil, Canada, US, South Africa and Australia — indurad was able to provide solutions to customers and service them almost without interruption.
Furthermore, during this time, the company invested in a focused development to mature its product portfolio. New radar sensors were developed, adding significant value by enabling user configuration and 3D views of material in the user interface which runs on
a web browser via an HTML5 page hosted locally on indurad’s processing unit. Two examples of this are the belt volume scanner (iBelt) and the silo material scanner (iSilo3D) which can now be commissioned by integrators or even customers. This significantly reduces the cost to customers as installation, travelling and commissioning times are reduced.
The iSilo3D system has recently been installed at several sites with fantastic feedback from customers, stating that it provides them “peace of mind,” “finally connects us with our inventory” and “First time we understand what’s happening in the silo and can optimize the process to reduce segregation.” The reduced price now allows these products to address further applications beyond mining, such as cement, biomass and alumina.
The most significant improvement in the software, however, was an upgrade of the stockpile scanning system — iStockpile4D. It is now also available with a material and
quality tracking tool that is considered a game changer for many operations. The system is based on a permanent 3D stockpile scan which is used to create a 4D Voxel-based model of the stockpile where time is the fourth dimension. This allows all data associated to the material (such as material quality, source, age, etc.) to be stored in a versatile database. It also permits the incorporation of data from cross belt analysers, other devices and even lab results into the 4D Model at any time, even weeks after the material was deposited.
Each of the Voxels has a dynamic height, which allows an increase in accuracy compared to other mathematical models. The permanent 3D scan also allows the software to measure pile compression over time. This means that the stockpile model represents the material quality distribution, while taking material changes into account (dewatering, compression etc.).
When the reclaiming begins, the iStockpile solution calculates the volume of the material to be reclaimed, including the assigned material quality. This allows operations to dispatch exactly the material quality the customer ordered without accidentally delivering a higher quality. Customer savings are in the millions of dollars here, as can easily be imagined. “Being able to deliver a robust ground truth across the full process chain from ROM piles, crushing, screening [up to] product stockpiles allows our customers to optimize the process control, logistics, reconciliation and working capital in the mine,” says Dr. Christian Augustin.
Solutions for effective and sustainable stockyard equipment
A stockyard is one of the indispensable aspects of a dry bulk terminal, writes Petar Karaivanov, Marketing and Communications Manager, Samson Materials handling Ltd. A properly run stockyard, with modern, efficient equipment, is integral to the success of a dry bulk handling facility. Millions of tonnes of dry bulk cargo are handled in stockyards each year.
A storage space has two basic activities: one is to stockpile the commodities and the other is to reclaim them. As a result, numerous aspects must be considered for a stockyard equipment review, here we will focus on two: equipment specifications — adaptv ability and flexibility; and environmental concerns.v
EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS —
ADAPTABILITY AND FLEXIBILITY
Naturally, equipment plays a fundamental role when we talk about efficiency of dry bulk cargo handling in stockyard management. The equipment that should be considered for a efficiently running stockyard is not limited to the actual storage choices (e.g. an open storage area or enclosed silos).
Utilization of versatile, mobile and highly adaptive equipment can radically improve stockyard performance. There are a number of solutions within the industry that are armed with increased mobility and versatility to handle different types of bulk material, giving stockyard managers an increased flexibility in choice of operations in return.
One of these solutions is a SAMSON STORMAJOR®. It is a flexible, costeffective mobile solution for radial stockpiling, barge and rail wagon loading. As well as featuring a radial outloading boom on a single chassis, it has the unique benefit of total mobility, providing universal applications and ultra-high performance. It has the flexibility to receive a wide range of materials directly from tipping trucks, shovels or even articulated dump trucks. The STORMAJOR® offers the performance of a fixed installation without the need for permanent infrastructure.
The benefits are significant and can drastically improve performance and profitability — flexibility in stockpiling and shiploading, high stockpile capacity, fast ship or barge loading, buffer storage with the
machine allows for even faster truck unloading, as a high average rate can be maintained, even when changing vehicles, easily transportable to site and immediately operational, accepts a large variety of trucks and loading options, flexibility in controlling material flow.
Secondly, the mobile Samson® Material Feeder is a highly flexible mobile truck reception unit/material feeder that can be supplied as a fixed unit or a mobile piece of
Samson
equipment, mounted on wheels or tracks.
The Samson® Material Feeder is a highperformance truck unloader with proven reliability for continuous process industries. It receives bulk materials directly from tipping trucks and loading shovels, providing a buffer storage capacity and a controlled discharge rate. Installed above ground, with no need for deep pits and expensive civil engineering works, it is a flexible alternative to traditional
underground hoppers.
Benefits of utilizing such equipment are no deep pits or underground hopper requirements, no civil works, giving flexibility of location. It receives directly from a variety of vehicles with a buffer holding capacity ensuring continuous outgoing feed. It handles dry and dusty materials but is just as adept at handling wet and sticky materials. Its reduced energy consumption and easy to maintain and service characteristics have made it a top choice for many industries and bulk cargo operators.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
The current landscape of bulk material handling continues to place new practical and low environmental impact demands on the industry in relation to ship loading/ unloading systems. Low environmental impact solutions have received increased attention from researchers, designers, and managers based on the fact that infrastructure facilities are required to facilitate various activities.
Many of the existing industry projects have a design life of several decades that must fulfil current and future demands by providing increased chance of returns on investments, but also contributes towards
sustainability through efficient use of resources and equipment. A number of environmental effects need to be taken into account for their influence on local communities and surrounding environment. Noise and dust are of key concerns, and as a result bulk terminal in particular are under increasing pressure from legislation.
CONCLUSION
Future bulk cargo stockyards must offer flexible and environmentally friendly import and export solutions for all bulk materials if they seek to increase the maximum potential returns of investments and increase the lifespan of equipment.
Ports handling dry bulk need to consider the vast differences between handling containers and the issues faced with bulk goods.
Distinctively tailored designs to match various types of material properties and customer demands will provide an adaptive approach and enhancement in quality of operations at a lower price in the long run.
The examples of equipment provided by SAMSON Material handling are equipped with adaptable and flexible features as well as dust filtration systems which brings the environmental impact close to zero. Thus,
ranking them among the top current experts in the fields of adaptability and low ecological impact of operations in stockyard dry bulk handling.

The role of the future: the new E-PrimeTracker 4.0
Anyone who has dealt intensively with the subject of belt misalignment on bulk material handling systems in the past knows the devastating effects. The multitude of solutions in the form of various belt guide rollers to remedy the misalignment
problems is also well known. Most of these are conical in design and sometimes, after short-term effectiveness, have proven to be the opposite in the long run, even having destructive potential in individual cases. In the present, many responsible persons will
The new E-PrimeTracker 4.0 was presented at bauma 2022 from 22 24 October.
have already heard of the PrimeTracker — a special caster that detects belt misalignment and automatically compen sates for it. This is why ScrapeTec Trading GmbH also positions its special roller as a ‘conveyor belt tracking assistant’.
PRIMETRACKER PRINCIPLE : CYLINDRICAL ROLLER WITH SKEW CORRECTION
In contrast to many previous solutions, the PrimeTracker is not conical but cylindrical. This subtle difference ensures fast and automatic correction if the belt does not run centrally, but crooked. The PrimeTracker’s mode of operation is as simple as it is ingenious: it is mounted centrally on an axis and can therefore ‘swing’ completely freely in any direction in order to react sensitively and directly to the slightest misalignment and, by correcting it, allow the conveyor belt to run optimally again.
If everything is in order and the belt is running straight, the PrimeTracker simply acts as an idler. Conical variants cannot do this. Thanks to these properties, ScrapeTec Trading GmbH can report a growing demand for the ‘Regulator’. This is because perfect belt guidance is essential, especially at transfer points on conveyor systems, to ensure that the seals work optimally and to prevent dust as well as spillage. This applies in particular to the AirScrape, the noncontact side seal from ScrapeTec. Its mode of action is only given at an optimum distance from the belt. The result is almost 0% dust and material loss. Whether
cement plants, mining companies or food logistics companies — more and more companies worldwide have discovered ScrapeTec dust protection solutions for themselves. PrimeTracker is just one of them.
THE NEXT GENERATION: E-PRIMETRACKER
WITH SENSOR TECHNOLOGY
ScrapeTec is now offering a further development for the future, which also means the future of industry in general: the E-PrimeTracker 4.0. Its self-regulating function on conveyor belts corresponds 1:1 to that of the PrimeTracker. The E stands for the electronic added value of this device, which ScrapeTec’s developers have integrated. This is because the roller is additionally equipped with robust sensors that record all relevant characteristic values such as belt position, belt speed or the condition of the belt splice and make them available for monitoring.
The advantage: if misalignment situations occur that could lead to a possible belt standstill, the operator is warned in good time and can take precautionary action. And even the worstcase scenario, such as a misalignment with belt lesions and impending belt breakage, is
indicated in good time. On the one hand, this warning is given via a colour display on the device, which shows the belt running situation from green to red. On the other hand, the information from the sensors can also be transmitted wirelessly to a monitoring system in which the control data is displayed. This is entirely in line with the idea of Industry 4.0, in which the aim is increasingly to digitize processes, thus making forward-looking measures such as condition monitoring and predictive maintenance possible.
lt also corresponds to the trend in the area of conveyor systems to leave the ‘archaic’ path of tolerating robustness with dust, dirt and material losses and instead implement solutions that sustainably protect people, the environment and technology.
WORLD PREMIERE : THE E-PRIMETRACKER AT BAUMA 2022
ScrapeTec presented the E PrimeTracker for the first time at bauma in Munich. Wilfried Dünnwald, owner of ScrapeTec and developer, is responsible for the presented further development of the PrimeTracker and presented the functionality first-hand at the trade fair.
During its 70th anniversary year, Longwater Gravel has taken delivery of the first two Hitachi ZW310-7 wheel loaders supplied by Hitachi Construction Machinery (UK). The Norfolk-based aggregates company added the new machines to its existing fleet of Hitachi wheel loaders — including two ZW180s, a ZW220-5, four ZW220-6s and three ZW310-6s — and three ZX210 medium excavators in July 2022.
The ZW310-7s have started working at Longwater Gravel’s 200-acre Coxford Abbey Quarry near Fakenham. They are being used for loading the hopper with the raw materials, general material handling work, creating stockpiles and loading a steady stream of trucks.
RELIABILITY AND SUPPORT
“We are constantly evaluating the performance of our machines and the relationship with our suppliers,” says Simon Smith, Longwater Gravel’s Operations Director. “These factors were equally important when deciding for the two new wheel loaders. Our Hitachis have been reliable since we bought our first ZW180 wheel loader in 2014. They work well and there’s minimal downtime, plus the support we receive from HCMUK is also excellent.”
The Longwater Gravel team believes that the Hitachi ZW310 is better suited to their needs than the smaller models, as they load faster and are more efficient in the stockyard. They also prefer to have two models of the same size at Coxford Abbey, as they are then able to interchange seamlessly between tasks and operators if required.
AVAILABILITY AND PRODUCTIVITY
Quarries Manager Rupert Jarvis has spent 13 of his 38 working years with Longwater Gravel: “As a manager, I like Hitachi wheel loaders as they have high levels of availability and productivity. And as an operator, they are reliable and robust — none of the other brands work as well as Hitachi machines.
UK’s first Hitachi ZW310-7s delivered to Norfolk quarry
“The ZW310-7 is a natural progression and a step up from the ZW310-6, with some notable improvements. It glides better, the suspension has been upgraded and the comfort in the cab has been enhanced. In addition, it is smooth, the controls and seat move together, and some of the components (such as the battery) are more accessible.”
IMPROVED ACCESS AND COMFORT
Similarly, operator Trevor Minns has been working with Longwater Gravel for 15 years. He has operated all of the company’s wheel loaders, with a preference for the larger ZW310-6.
“Having driven the old and new models
back-to-back, my first impressions of the ZW310-7 are that there are quite a few changes in the cab,” says Minns
“Hitachi has spent time and effort on changing some of the features that really matter to operators. For example, climbing the steps at an angle and opening the door to the left allow better access in and out of the cab.
“The new model also offers a more comfortable workspace with the synchronized movement of the controls and seat. There is excellent visibility, as I can see all round the machine, with any blind spots eliminated due to the positioning of the (heated) mirrors and multi-angle cameras.
“Everything’s fully adjustable, so I can set everything to my liking, and my favourite features are the ZW310-7’s more comfortable seat and larger armrest. Even though I’m frequently in and out of the cab on a typical working day, I can still spend two or three hours at any one time driving the machine — and never feel tired.
“There’s even better access for routine maintenance tasks, such as cleaning the exterior of the windows, and checking the engine and hydraulic oils at the same time — it’s the small details that make such a difference. The overall performance of the machine is impressive, as it’s faster, more powerful and has greater capacity for my routine tasks around the yard.”
Dry bulk terminals are used all around the world to handle large quantities of the bulk materials. Stockyards at the terminals are an invaluable part of the dry materials handling process. They can be used as materials buffers, and as a storage for dry materials that are incoming and outgoing. Storage of various bulk materials is a significant part of the handling processes within the overall logistic networks of the bulk material processing industry.
The equipment that is commonly used for a stockyard bulk handling is not limited to the actual storage facilities (e.g. an open storage area or enclosed silos and hoppers) but also concerns transshipment equipment such as stackers, conveyors and reclaimers.
The material properties influence the choice of storage options. Open storage options are common for materials like aggregates, coal or iron ores. Materials such as grain, sugar, cement, and wood pellets are often stored with enclosed storage systems.
Whether it is an export or import terminal, a stockyard is one of the basic elements of a dry bulk terminal where a variety of handling equipment is deployed. Bulk handling equipment has been the cornerstone of Buttimer Engineering since its inception in 1978, originally providing equipment exclusively for the handling of bulk dairy and grain products. There is more than four decades of experience in
the design and supply of mechanical handling systems for grain and agri-industry applications. From the fabrication of bespoke pieces of equipment to the design and installation of complete turnkey materials handling systems, Buttimer’s in house design team and on-site engineers have knowledge and practical experience of providing tailored solutions to various industry sectors including malting, brewing, food processing, animal feed milling and energy crops. The diversity and depth of Buttimer’s bulk handling expertise makes the company an ideal partner in the development and installation of dry materials handling systems.
Buttimer designs equipment and mechanical handling systems for a diverse range of products, including but not limited to: wheat, barley, maize (corn), rice, rapeseed and rapeseed meal, soya beans and soybean meal, coffee, food powders, wood fibres, pellets and other biomass.
Each system is designed to complement the characteristics of the dry bulk product handled, and the throughput and processing requirements of the client. Some processing applications installed include: Drying, de-stoning, cleaning, milling, blending, pelleting (cubing) and treating as well as belt or chain conveying, bucket elevators, hoppers and loading and unloading equipment to rail, road, ship or other logistics systems.
Systems can be designed with full dust
control, aspiration systems, ATEX and fire safety protocols to the specification of the grain’s characteristics and client’s process. Storage options include steel silos, concrete silos and flat-stores. Each dry bulk product, and client’s processing requirements will require a unique handling system; Buttimer works with clients to deliver processing, storage and out-loading system that meets those unique requirements.
Conveying equipment is considered vital in stockyards of terminals for handling a vast array of dry bulk cargos. These conveyors are designed from the ground up by Buttimer’s skilled engineers who work tirelessly to produce the highest standard products and service for clients. Be it a shuttle conveyor, mobile stacking conveyors or belt conveyor complete with discharge car, Buttimer is adaptable enough to produce a range of conveyors again depending on the needs and desires of clients. These conveyors are often capable of handling a capacity of up 2,500m3 per hour, and all bulk product commodities.
Buttimer Engineering has provided equipment for many terminals in Europe, for a number of high profile clients, such as a bulk terminal in Scandinavia.
The company was employed to carry out a range of design, fabrication, delivery, installation and maintenance work at Masnedo Bulk Terminal, Denmark. This industrial part of port is intended to handle grain cargo. Buttimer has completed and
Buttimer equipment is an invaluable asset in a bulk handling stockyard
provided equipment for the handling of bulk products. The project included: silos with a total capacity of 88,000m3, a dryer with wheat capacity of 100tph (tonnes per hour), 500 tonnes of galvanized supporting structure and almost 60 different types of conveyors with capacities vary from 300 to 1,000tph handling wheat.
The concept of terminal’s facility included a 100m-long storage facility and truck loading with weighing system, remote control system and also two intake hoppers with aspiration systems, two precleaning lines in front of dryer and a shiploading facility and also an expanded silo gallery.
The first stage of works was a flatstorage facility equipped with a belt conveyor assembled under the roof with a discharge car, which ensures a high reliability and control over the product. The storage is equipped with a weighing scales, that controls the whole process of collecting materials from the store, while the truck loading station is responsible for collecting material from the storage in buffer silo for loading previously weighed amount of grain. A great advantage of this system is a remote-controlled loading chute. The operator, with help of the remote control mounted on the belt, is
able to supervise the filling process of a tank truck. The chute itself also makes it possible to reduce dust in the loading area, because of the aspiration system.
The next stage of works concerned two intake hoppers for grain. The hoppers were designed in such way that no grain was to remain and it enabled a quick truck unloading. The intaking area has been equipped with the aspiration system across the entire width of hoppers along with fully automated cleaning of filter bags.
Erection of a dryer was the next step. Drying facilities reach up to 125tph. Before the drying process, there are two hoppers for grain storage with total capacity of 3,200m3. Bulk material properties determine the behaviour of the material during handling and storage. Parameters
such as internal friction and wall friction are essential to design a suitable silo or hopper for storage. There are also two drum scalpers and weighing scales for incoming quantity verification.
And finally, there is a shiploading facility with capacity of 1,000tph along with weighing scales. The pivotal factor of grain handling facility was the installation of storage facilities, eight silos equipped with silo discharge systems and screw augers. Silos are also equipped with a ventilation system to prevent any condensation to guarantee the quality of stored grain.
The new and modern grain handling facility and its functionality gives not only great storage capabilities but also operational capabilities that will result in a competitive advantage.
TMSA dry stacking method: ideal way to dispose of iron ore tailings
In the constant search for the best alternatives for the final destination of iron ore tailings — aiming at improving the operational safety of the facilities and all stakeholders involved, in addition to better harmonizing with the environment — solutions for the disposal of tailings in mining are now undergoing a broad conceptual readjustment.
The conventional method of tailings disposal is based on the use of dykes or containment dams. Using this method, the tailings are discarded in the form of pulp. This presents other inconveniences as well as the possible geomechanical risks
inherent to the design of this solution. Operating costs associated with dams are representative, as they need for constant monitoring, a highly specialized technical team, the preparation of recurring stability reports and an environmental liability that cannot be disregarded. These factors, together with the growing difficulties in obtaining permits for the raising of existing structures and the construction of new dams, have prompted the mineral sector to innovate.
The main driver of the industry has been the development of safer techniques, together with the use of new technologies in the disposal of tailings. Among the various options, dry stacking has proven to be a viable and safer alternative, mainly in the treatment of iron ore tailings. Despite the mining sector investing more and more in the dry stacking of mining tailings, mainly in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil, the so-called piles remain a cause of concern in the operational routine of a mineral processing plant, due to the risk of landslides. Projects need to be developed
following strict technical criteria, together with operating protocols and efficient inspections by customers.
In this context, TMSA stands out as one of the pioneer companies in Brazil in the application of this type of technology, assisting its customers in the constant evolution of their production processes, through a technical, sustainable and socially responsible approach.
Currently, four mining tailings filtering plants are in operation, which have modern TMSA equipment, intended for handling and stacking tailings. All plants are located in the state of Minas Gerais, with three units owned by VALE and one unit belonging to Mineração Usiminas (MUSA).
The first filtering plant, located at the
VALE mining complex in Vargem Grande, started operations in the first half of 2021. The equipment supplied by TMSA allows iron ore tailings to be piled up in a solid state at a rate of 1,200tph (tonnes per hour).
The other two dedicated plants, developed jointly with VALE, are located in the Itabira complex (Minas de Cauê and Conceição). They allow tailings stacking capacities at rates of 3,400tph and 4,800tph, respectively. The Conceição plant started testing with load at the end of last year, while the Cauê plant started at the beginning of 2022. Added to the two projects in the Itabira complex, TMSA supplied a total of 14 belt conveyors and several other auxiliary systems.
Also at the end of last year, the tailings filtering plant at Mineração Usiminas (MUSA), located in the municipality of Itatiaiuçu, started operating. In this project, TMSA was responsible for supplying a belt conveyor, equipped with a mobile tripper, intended for the disposal of filtered tailings at a rate of 1,200tph.
In addition to supplying the equipment in these projects, TMSA also developed the basic and detailed engineering of the belt conveyors and their respective structures, as well as providing supervision of assembly, commissioning and startup services.
The projects will enable TMSA’s customers to increase production capacity, raise ore quality and reduce reliance on dams. On the eve of completing 56 years of market performance, TMSA reaffirms itself as an important strategic partner for its customers, applying the best practices of sustainability, technology and innovation in the proposed solutions.
Tele Radio 12-step push-button PLd certified handheld transmitter
Tele Radio’s range of push-button handheld transmitters has been expanded with a widely applicable PANTHER T29-12, which is ideal for use in stockyard applications. This transmitter is PLd certified and can therefore control a total of 24 different functions at a high security level.
At the moment the new Panther
transmitter is limited available. Large-scale delivery will not take place until after the summer. Other novelties are the R27 receiver and the D5-21 repeater/active antenna.
With PLd, the push-button hand-held transmitter fully complies with the mandatory Performance Level d
certification, which corresponds to Safety Integrity Level 2. The combination of PLd with the Cat3 safety level makes the Panther T29-12 extremely suitable for work with a high safety risk, such as lifting and hoisting and especially the movement of heavy loads. The emergency stop function of the PLd/Cat3 level offers
additional safety.
An attractively priced PLd certified transmitter with eight buttons was already available in the Panther series, the PN T19 2. The new 12-button transmitter is also being marketed at a very competitive price. Thanks to the four extra buttons of the new Panther T29-12, it is now also possible to safely control machines and devices with more advanced control functions, such as recovery vehicles, excavators, agricultural applications, etc.
MORE THAN 150 HOURS OF WORK
The new channel is easily adaptable. Using the settings manager, the transmitter can be programmed as desired for specific
applications. Other functionalities concern the LED shift control and the radio power, for which two parameters have been added: powerMax and powerMin.
Thanks to more efficient energy consumption, the transmitter can run for more than 150 hours on the exchangeable and rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The Panther T29-12 has an IP65 protection value and is equipped with a robust housing with a bumper. Partly because of this, it is more resistant to falls and bumps.
INTERFERENCE FREE COMMUNICATION
Like the other transmitters in the Panther series, the new push-button hand-held transmitter operates on the 2.4GHz frequency that can be used worldwide. For interference-free and therefore supersecure communication, the transmitter contains advanced technology, such as DSSS. Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
technology divides the signal into smaller pieces over a frequency range, making it more difficult to intercept and interfere with.
RANGE
The new transmitter can reach a range of up to 700 metres. This maximum is of course dependent on the local circumstances and connected peripherals and accessories. It is also important from a safety point of view that if a transmitter is lost or broken, any other transmitter from the same product line can be used as a backup.
NEW RECEIVER AND REPEATER/ACTIVE ANTENNA ONTVANGER
R27 RECEIVER , MODBUS RTU
Handheld transmitters are connected to a receiver such as the new R27. This compact, puck-model receiver features
simplex communication with support for duplex and is intended for Modbus/RTU communication. It has protection degree IP67 and belongs to the range of non-PLd certified receivers.
D5-21 REPEATER/ACTIVE ANTENNA
In order to be able to transmit the radio signals from the handheld transmitter over great distances and/or obstacles without losing the signal, a signal amplifier such as the new D5-21 can be used. It also works on the 2.4GHz frequency and has a range of 100 metres (adjustable depending on the configuration). It can be programmed as an active antenna or as a repeater and is easy to set up for use in large buildings, sheds, ships and so on. With a Panther system, up to eight repeaters can be active at the same time.
Tele Radio Group is a multinational company that develops, markets and supplies universal, wireless remote controls and tailor-made wireless solutions for industrial use. The products contribute to a more comfortable and safer work environment. The first company, Tele Radio AB, was founded in Lysekil, Sweden in 1955, and has since developed to an international group with headquarters in Gothenburg, and twenty subsidiaries in Europe, Asia and the US.

Svendborg Brakes’ BSFI 200 & 3000 series braking systems for coal terminal conveyors, iron ore mine and port conveyors
Svendborg BSFI 200 Series and BSFI 3000 Series brakes have been chosen for use by WICET and by Roy Hill iron ore mine, both in Australia.
WICET CASE STUDY
BSFI 200 SERIES AND BSFI 3000 SERIES DUAL SPRING, HYDRAULICALLY RELEASED BRAKES
Svendborg Brakes was selected to provide conveyor braking solutions for use throughout the Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal (WICET) in Queensland, Australia. The $2.6 billion, state-of-the-art facility will initially provide 27mt (million tonnes) of coal per year for export.
The first stage of the massive complex includes a 920m-long x 240m-wide stockyard that can accommodate twelve 18m-high stockpiles for total on-ground storage of 1.85mt. Four reclaim conveyors, with 2,000mm belts running at 5.9m/s, each move 6,900tph (tonnes per hour). An overhead
gantry stacker is also utilized.
The port area features a jetty conveyor that transports coal 2km from shore to the shiploading wharf. Another conveyor moves the coal along the length of the wharf to feed the shiploader that has a
maximum loading capacity of 8,500tph. All elevated conveyors and overwater conveyors are covered with a wall on the windward side and a floor for dust control.
The large shiploader utilizes a series of cable winches that raise and lower the boom, extend and retract the shuttle along the boom, and raise and lower the operator’s cabin.
Svendborg Brakes was chosen as the predominant braking system provider for the facility based on its quality, reliability and proven history of successful coal terminal installations throughout New South Wales and Queensland.

ROY HILL IRON ORE CASE STUDY
BSFI SERIES BRAKING SYSTEMS WITH SOBO® IQ
IRON ORE MINE AND PORT CONVEYORS
Svendborg Brakes was chosen to supply braking solutions for conveyors at the Roy Hill iron ore mining, rail, and port project in the Pilbara, West Australia. When fully operational, the massive facility will provide 55mt of ore per year for export.
Braking systems, provided by Svendborg
Brakes, were installed on a variety of conveyors throughout the facility. An overland conveyor transports the ore from primary and secondary sizers to a radial stacker that positions the material in a large stockpile area.
A series of five parallel incline conveyors feed ore from the stockpile into five scrubbers, slowly rotating drums where the ore is mixed with water to remove undesirable impurities. A long infeed incline conveyor and a series of three parallel incline conveyors feed ore up into three tertiary cone crushers.
Svendborg Brakes was initially contacted by the mine’s engineering consultant based on previous successful collaborations spanning many years. The Svendborg Brakes team, working closely with the consultant’s engineers, designed braking systems to meet each of the specific conveyor application requirements. Each conveyor braking system consisted of spring-applied, hydraulically released BSFI Series caliper disc brakes, a SOBO iQ control, a SOBO hydraulic power unit and a disc.
BSFI Series brakes provide parking and emergency stopping functionality in case of power failure.
The brake spring packs are sized to suit the individual specific braking torque requirements of the specific application. The brakes feature indicators that detect and monitor brake pad wear and brake on/off status.

DemcoTECH’S stockyard design provides advanced environmental protection
Engineering and project management house, DemcoTECH Engineering, is seeing growing market demand for its stockyard technologies and systems that are both state-of-the-art to maximize productivity and efficiency of the operation, as well as environmentally friendly. This is in line with the fact that climate change, and its potentially disastrous effects, is one of the defining issues of our age, with industry facing considerable pressure from the public and legislators alike to minimize its impact on the environment.
In two stockyard projects, DemcoTECH Engineering provided leading engineering solutions, both for dust control and to prevent any discharge of polluted, dirty water from the stockpiling operation into the environment.
The expansion to the manganese export facility at Assmang Limited’s Cato Ridge Alloys plant in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa involved upgrading two existing rail tipplers, installing a series of troughed conveyors with transfer houses, from the tipplers to a new 80,000-tonne stockpile, an elevated travelling tripper, tunnel reclaim equipment and an automated road load-out facility. This EPCM project was a joint venture comprising DemcoTECH Engineering, which was responsible for the
materials handling system, and Kantey & Templer, who provided the civil works and all structural steelwork.
“In line with our commitment to assisting our clients minimize their impact on the environment, the elevated travelling tripper, which travels over the stockpile, supported in a gallery, was equipped with fine mist sprays for dust control,” says Paul van de Vyver, DemcoTECH Engineering General Manager. “In addition, the stockpile is located on a concrete apron to prevent any dirty water pollution into the existing environmental system, but is rather
sent to a dirty water system from where it is treated.”
The material from the stockpile is reclaimed with vibratory feeders from an underground reclaim tunnel below the stockpile, from where it is fed to an automated truck loading system.
“A sampling system on the reclaim belt allows for sampling of the final product being conveyed to the end client, ” says van de Vyver.
Another project DemcoTECH was awarded is for a stockpile and shiploading system from the SYS & McConnel Dowell joint venture (SMJV) for the sulphur handling for the refinery and petrochemical integrated development (RAPID) project and other associated facilities in Pengerang, Southern Johor, Malaysia. This system incorporates a similar concrete apron with a water pollution control system for the
stockyard, and includes an environmentallyfriendly pipe conveyor in order to eliminate any sulphur pollution. The RAPID project has been developed by Malaysian oil and gas company Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas), through the Pengerang Integrated Complex (PIC) project.
The turnkey contract awarded to DemcoTECH Engineering included design and engineering, procuring, fabrication, shipment, construction and commissioning of a granular sulphur handling system, which had stringent environmental regulations that had to be adhered to.
Sulphur prills are delivered by tip trucks into a hopper equipped with water sprays to contain the dust. The material is then stacked onto the stockyard, designed for reclaiming using a portal scraper reclaimer, which travels the full length of the stockyard. The scraper reclaim chain reclaims the material up an inclined concrete reclaim base in order to be able to deposit the reclaimed material onto the reclaim conveyor. This then feeds the 2.2km-long jetty pipe conveyor eliminating any spillage.
Both the stacking and reclaim system are fully automated, to be able to stack onto the stockpile as required, and automated to enable the material to be reclaimed as predetermined for the shiploading operation.
To further manage the operational accuracy and efficiency, weigh scales are located on the conveyors both upstream and downstream of the stockpile, thereby allowing the operational staff to manage both the stockpiling and the reclaim/ship loading operations in order to control material inventory.
“The operation to reclaim the material from the stockpile and convey it to the shiploader was also designed to meet stringent environmental regulations,” adds van de Vyver. “The pipe conveyor, for example, reduces the number of transfer points where spillage can potentially occur. It also prevents the sulphur and the environment from mutual contamination as the product is fully enclosed in the pipe conveyor.”
DemcoTECH was appointed as the client engineers for the multi- billion dollar 200 million tonne per annum iron ore import/blending/export terminal in Lumut, Perak, Malaysia. The scope of work covered the import and export systems, which included the stacking and reclaiming systems as well as the shiploaders and shipunloaders. “Contracted by the Brazilian mining group, Vale, we provided FEL 1, 2, 3 & 4 engineering and support services for
the Teluk Rubiah maritime terminal, which included purchasing the stockyard machines, conveyors and port shiploading and unloading machines rated up to 10,500tph [tonnes per hour],” noted van de Vyver.
South Africa-based DemcoTECH Engineering has a well-established and global track record in materials handling and stockpile projects, including tailings disposal systems at both the Letšeng and Liqhubong Diamond Mines in Lesotho as well the import export expansion facilities for Grindrod’s multi-product terminal at the port of Richards Bay in South Africa.

Liebherr presents new
Liebherr has unveiled the LH 26 M Timber Litronic, a new special machine for efficient timber handling. Thanks to its extremely compact design and exceptional manoeuvrability, the LH 26 M Timber is predestined for work in sawmills and timber operations with limited space. The handling machine impresses with extremely low fuel consumption and maximum performance at the same time.
Whether as fuel, construction element or piece of furniture: wood is a climatefriendly and popular all-rounder. For efficient timber handling, Liebherr offers a wide portfolio of powerful and efficient special machines that are ideally suited for typical work processes such as loading and unloading trucks and trailers, sorting logs or transport.
For these activities, good driving performance, high payloads as well as fast working cycles are particularly in demand. With the LH 26 M Timber Litronic, Liebherr is presenting a new timber truck that extends the existing portfolio downwards with an operating weight of between 23,500 and 26,000kg.
MACHINE COMBINES HIGH DRIVING PERFORMANCE , COMPACT DIMENSIONS AND MANOEUVRABILITY
The engine power of 125kW provides the system with a high torque. This means that the machine can be accelerated quickly. In combination with the high pump flow rate, fast and dynamic working movements and
Timber Litronic timber truck
thus the highest handling performance are guaranteed.
Thanks to its compact design, the machine is ideally suited for use especially in confined spaces. Due to the extremely small front and rear swing radius, the machine can be completely swivelled even in tight locations. The minimal contour of the right front in particular means that work can be carried out very close to the sorting string or pile, as this is always within the width of the undercarriage. This provides an excellent view of the working area, ensures additional safety and prevents collisions.
For high manoeuvrability, the LH 26 M Timber is equipped with all-wheel steering as standard. The all-wheel steering increases driving stability and thus improves directional stability.The automatic steering reversal, which is also standard, guarantees the correct steering direction at all times when driving forwards or backwards.
OPTIMIZED UNDERCARRIAGE CONCEPT AND EFFICIENT DRIVING OPERATION FOR TRAILER OPERATION
The electric swing angle adjustment in the traction motor provides more torque, maximum acceleration and higher tractive effort. This ensures a constantly high driving performance even on slopes. The optimal adjustment of speed and flow rate ensures convincing fuel efficiency even at maximum speed.
For longer distances, the combination of timber tractor and trailer is the optimal choice. Thanks to the powerful drive and the robust axles, trailers weighing up to 60 tonnes can be towed. The new undercarriage concept with two-point blade support significantly increases the handling performance in trailer operation. The two-point blade support guarantees maximum stability as well as high payloads when loading and unloading the trailer over the entire swivel range. This allows more timber to be handled per loading cycle and thus increases productivity. The blade can additionally be used for clearing work and thus increases safety in the timber yard.

Identifying and addressing conveyor idler issues
On any belt conveyor system that moves bulk materials, the belt must run straight and true to maximize its life, minimize fugitive material and safety hazards, and achieve high system efficiency, writes R. Todd Swinderman, P.E./CEO Emeritus/Martin Engineering . There can be many consequences of a mistracking belt, but all result in higher costs and increased maintenance. Even a slight belt misalignment can lead to a variety of issues, from small annoyances to full-blown catastrophes.
The most obvious effects include spillage and dust that require personnel to do cleanup, which is unproductive work that introduces risks from activities in close proximity to the moving conveyor. Spillage from non-centred cargo often gets into idlers and pulleys, reducing bearing life and causing them to seize, leading to friction damage on the belt and potentially starting a fire.
A misaligned belt can also come in contact with the stringer, causing fraying, shredding or splice damage. Great lengths of valuable belting can be destroyed with surprising speed, and even the support structure itself can be damaged. A compromised bracket or support can cause a catastrophic idler failure, which could damage other components of the system and require extensive downtime to repair. Further, there is potential for injury from a damaged belt or loose idler not to mention the increased exposure to injury from too frequent a need to clean.
“I’ve been working around conveyors for 20 years, and I’ve seen thousands of belts,” observed Martin Engineering Process Engineer Dan Marshall. “I’ve seen just about every problem that can be caused by a mistracking belt, but one thing I’ve never seen is a belt that runs true right out of the box. All conveyors, no matter how well designed and built, have some belt wander.”
A wide variety of circumstances can lead to mistracking, and operators have tried many things to correct the alignment. Some have elected to place an obstacle such as a block of wood in the belt path, so it won’t travel too far out of line. This occasionally improves the situation, but more often it’s just temporary and the belt will eventually slice through the obstacle.
Many operators have realized that pivoting an idler is a quicker and more effective way to steer a belt. This common approach is called “knocking an idler,” striking it with a hammer to move it

slightly and realign the belt.
Equipment manufacturers have also designed components to help align a belt, and these solutions can be successful in specific applications. They include specially-shaped rollers, angled idlers and devices that apply pressure to the belt edge to push it back in line.
“While these mechanisms can improve a belt that’s consistently off-centre in one direction, they do

more, decide better.
not react to dynamic belt movement, meaning that they don’t correct intermittent belt wander,” Marshall continued. “To combat such changing conditions, engineers designed the tracking idler. Unlike the edge correction approach, the device senses belt movement in either direction, and pivots the idler slightly to steer the belt back into position. It doesn’t apply a great deal of force to the edges, which can damage a belt and splices. When the belt is running true, it remains centred, and when it senses a misaligned condition, it gently corrects the belt.”
Unfortunately, to accommodate limited space availability, tracking idlers typically have short sensing arms. This requires a fairly large belt displacement to create a small movement of the idler. While these designs do tend to improve tracking, there are limits to how much correction they can deliver, and short sensing arms can actually pinch a belt if the idler pivots too far. To combat this, some operators choose to “tie off” a tracking idler to limit its movement. While the practice can help preserve the belt, it doesn’t address significant mistracking.
To overcome the limitations of existing belt alignment devices, Martin Engineering has invented and patented a Multi-Pivot
Belt Tracker, which employs sensors, pivoting idlers and geometry to align a wandering belt. The sensors avoid pinching the belt, and the engineered geometry amplifies any detected misalignment to create a greater pivot.
Multi-Pivot Belt Trainers use longer arms than other designs, positioning the guide rolls further from the pivot roller, as well as closer to the belt edge. The closer proximity allows guide rolls to sense very slight misalignments and make immediate
corrections. Rather than waiting for a powerful mistracking force, the longer arms require considerably less pressure to move the pivot roller. The result is better correction with no pinch points and less wear on conveyor and tracking equipment, for longer and more efficient service life. Specific designs are available for both the load-carrying belt path and the return run.
“Installing trackers is the economical solution, but operators should do a full analysis and consider also addressing other
causal issues,” Marshall added. “By focusing solely on belt alignment, plant personnel may miss other opportunities to increase production and relieve some of the burdens on their system.”
Keeping the belt centred and moving quickly is the key to high production, controlled operating cost and a safer workplace. “Misalignment causes downtime and costs money,” Marshall concluded. “But nothing causes more downtime and expense than a destructive belt fire or other catastrophe as a result of inattention to mistracking problems.”

Hitting below the belt
Explaining the underhand methods used by conveyor belt manufacturers in South East Asia to increase their market dominance
Conveyors are a major part of any bulk handling stockyard, writes Leslie David. As any big brand owner in the world will tell you, impersonation, counterfeiting and plagiarism are a constant problem. The higher the level of brand recognition and the more of an association the brand has with premier quality then the higher the chances that an unscrupulous manufacturer somewhere will try to take advantage.
Growing over 10,000% in the last two decades, counterfeit products exist in virtually every industry sector. Even now, it seems, in the world of industrial conveyor belting.
Coinciding with that time, the biggest single source of rubber belting imported into Europe is from South East Asia, the vast bulk of which is from China. As with the approach they use for virtually every other market, the strategy is based on mass volume manufacturing at a barely acceptable (and often unacceptable) standard of quality at hugely subsidized prices. Much of the European-based conveyor belt manufacturing capacity has disappeared as a result, creating an unhealthy reliance on low-grade imports.
Indeed, with only one exception, European manufacturers now supplement their production with imported belting.
That one exception is Netherlandsbased Dunlop Conveyor Belting which, despite the best efforts of its competitors in Asia, has continued to prosper thanks to an unwavering market strategy of selling premier quality belts that are exclusively manufactured in its own facilities. The ‘unique selling proposition’ that it uses in the face of the extremely low prices being offered by Asian manufacturers and their importers is one of ‘lowest lifetime cost’.
To support its arguments, Dunlop provides a wealth of technical evidence based on
laboratory testing and real-life examples in the form of numerous case studies that demonstrate how its belts can quite easily last for up to four or five times longer than low grade import belt. To understand the technical reasons why there is such a vast difference in longevity and performance, it is first necessary to understand the methods used by Asian manufacturers that enable them to offer prices that, for apparently similar specification products, are so much less than their European-based competitors.
THE ART OF DECEPTION
It is a common misconception that
The exception to the rule –all Dunlop belts are manufactured in The Netherlands.
Cost-cutting opportunity — rubber represents 70% of the volume and 50% of the cost.
products imported from China are of a similar quality but simply cost less because labour costs are much lower. The reality is that in the case of conveyor belts, the very high level of automation nowadays means that labour costs do not make a significant difference to the ultimate selling price. As a rule, the labour element represents around 10% of the total cost whereas the materials used to make a conveyor belt can constitute up to 70% of the ultimate cost and are available on the global market. As with just about any product, price ultimately determines the quality. Logically, this means that if there is a big difference in price then there must be a comparable difference in the quality of the materials used.
It is the quality of the rubber covers, in particular the ability to resist wear and tear, which has the biggest influence on the durability and operational lifetime of a conveyor belt. Rubber usually forms at least 70% of the volume mass of a conveyor belt and more than 50% of the cost. It is therefore the single biggest cost-cutting opportunity.
Because of its adaptability, most of the rubber used to make conveyor belts is synthetic. Dozens of different chemical components and substances are used to create the numerous different synthetic rubber compounds needed to cope with the different demands that may be placed upon them. These chemical components and additives are very costly so a combination of using low-grade chemicals at the absolute minimum levels or in some cases not using them at all, all contributes towards the manufacturer’s ‘lowest possible price’ objective.
CONVENIENT OMISSIONS
Perhaps the best example of these
Shorter lifespan – belting imported from Asia is very rarely ozone and UV resistant.
‘convenient omissions’ concerns ozone and ultra violet light. From a product longevity point of view, there is no question that all rubber conveyor belts need to be fully resistant to the damaging effects of ozone and ultra violet light. This is because at low altitude ozone becomes a pollutant.
Exposure increases the acidity of carbon black surfaces and causes reactions to take place within the molecular structure of the rubber. This has several consequences such as surface cracking and a marked decrease in the tensile strength of the rubber.
Likewise, ultraviolet light from sunlight and fluorescent lighting also accelerates deterioration because it produces photochemical reactions that promote the oxidation of the surface of the rubber, which results in a loss of mechanical strength. Once again, laboratory testing consistently reveals that belting imported from China and Asia in general is very
rarely, if ever, ozone and UV resistant. This is almost certainly because the antiozonants that should be used during the mixing process of the rubber compounds is seen to be an avoidable cost.
UNREGULATED
Manufacturers based in Asia are not subject to REACH regulation or EU regulations concerning the use of potentially hazardous chemicals that pose hazards to human health and the environment. This includes those that may have category 2 carcinogenic classifications as well as Persistent Organic Pollutants. This means that they are free to use unregulated raw materials that cost much less on the global market compared to their regulated counterparts, even though those materials may be prohibited or have strict usage limitations within Europe.
Asian manufacturers are not subject to EU regulations concerning the use of dangerous chemicals and pollutants.
One of the biggest concerns involves short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs). These are commonly used by Asian manufacturers to reduce production costs by accelerating the vulcanizing process. REACH regulations clearly stipulate that SCCPs should either not be used at all or at least only used on a very restricted basis because of their category 2 carcinogenic classifications. Their presence can usually be identified by the unpleasant smell of the rubber whereas good quality rubber usually has very little smell at all.
A key component contained in every black rubber conveyor belt is carbon black. It makes up around 20% of a typical rubber compound. The important role that it plays should not be under-estimated. For example, it prolongs belt life by helping to conduct heat away from the surface area of
the belt, thereby reducing thermal damage. It also acts as a reinforcing compound. Belts offered with significantly lower prices are virtually certain to contain carbon black that is of a much lower quality that has been produced much more cheaply. For example, by burning scrap car tyres without, of course, the hindrance of compliance with environmental regulation.
Other methods used to minimize rubber costs include the use of recycled rubber of highly questionable origin and cheap ‘bulking’ fillers such as chalk, which is used to replace part of more expensive rubber polymers.
HIDDEN SAVINGS
Although they may be the same basic specification, there are often huge differences in the quality of the fabric plies between one belt and another. This is because cheaper, lower quality fabrics are used where the more costly nylon transversal weft material is kept to a minimum. Although the required tensile strength may be achieved, rip and tear resistance is noticeably reduced and the elongation (elasticity) is too low. A fact confirmed by countless laboratory tests of belts imported from Asia is an even more blatant deception involving the use of totally polyester (EE) fabric plies in a carcass that has been sold as having the much more common EP carcass (polyester/nylon mix) construction. The whole basis of using fabrics that contain a mix of polyester and nylon fabric (EP) is that it has the best balance of mechanical properties including allowing a conveyor belt to run straight and true, to trough, to flex round pulleys and drums, stretch, provide sufficient transversal rigidity, longitudinal strength and much more besides.
Lower-grade carbon black can be produced cheaply by burning scrap car tyres.
Not what they seem — the use of totally polyester (EE) fabric instead of polyester/nylon mix (EP) in order to cut costs can cause significant problems.
The use of totally polyester (EE) fabric compromises a whole range of essential mechanical properties*. The biggest danger is that a polyester weft can cause low transverse elasticity, which reduces both the troughability and impact resistance of the belt as well as causing tracking issues. In addition, less weft in the belt can also reduce rip resistance, fastener strength and the ability to handle smaller pulley sizes. The seriousness of the detrimental physical effects should never be under-estimated.
The fabric plies are a major cost component in any multiple ply conveyor belt. However, polyester (EE) fabrics cost around 30% less than EP so using cheaper polyester fabric is a big help when trying to
*Author’s note: The use of fabrics made entirely of polyester (EE) has its place in certain belt types and constructions. However, in those cases the declared specification of the belt should clearly be EE and not EP.
achieve the perception of a lower ‘like for like’ price*. As far as the manufacturer using these underhand tactics is concerned, they know that it is highly unlikely that the end-user will ever have laboratory tests carried out that would reveal their trickery and dishonesty.
EVERYTHING IS FAKE BUT YOUR MOTHER
Dunlop places considerable emphasis on being contactable and accountable for the quality of its products and backs it up with the reassurance of a 24-month warranty. The company sees this as an important advantage over its rivals, especially those based in Asia. It has been a hard and longrunning battle but in recent years there have been strong indications that the market is turning away from low grade import belts and realizing the far greater value of using premium, long-life belting. As if in answer to this trend, one Chinese manufacturer, Zhejiang Fuda Rubber, has
Not the real thing - ruined and worn out multi-ply belting imported from China.
stepped up the level of dishonesty by audaciously claiming to be a manufacturer of Dunlop conveyor belts. To support this deception, it has actually adapted a Dunlop Conveyor Belting quality guarantee certificate by adding its name and logo at the top and their ‘signature’ and stamp and company details at the bottom.
It seems hard to believe that something like this could happen but should we really be surprised? After all, 70% of all counterfeit goods seized globally come from China. The Chinese often joke that in China, “everything is fake but your mother” and “we can copy everything except your mother.” It may be a joke to them but it is certainly no joke to honest manufacturers such as Dunlop and indeed end-users that have effectively been tricked into buying what they believe to be genuine Dunlop quality belts, only to discover to their cost that they bear no comparison in terms of performance, safety and longevity.
Andries Smilda, Dunlop Conveyor Belting’s sales & marketing director, is understandably outraged. “We will not stand by and allow this kind of cheating and deception to take place. Apart from anything else, we will use this example to highlight the lengths that belt manufac turers in Asia will go to in order to sell their belts to unsuspecting customers. If anyone in the market was unaware of their dishonest practices we will now do all we can to make sure that they know otherwise”
SPOT THE DIFFERENCE
Compliance with CE quality standards is increasingly being stipulated by purchasers
CE mark, China export.
of industrial conveyor belts even though conveyor belts are not a product category that is subject to specific directives that are required to be CE marked. The letters ‘CE’ used in the CE Marking are the abbreviation of French phrase ‘Conformité Européenne’ which literally means ‘European Conformity’. By placing the CE marking on a product, a manufacturer is declaring conformity with all of the legal requirements to achieve CE marking. The manufacturer is therefore ensuring validity for that product to be sold throughout the EEA, although the mark does not mean that the product was made in the EEA. The danger is that some conveyor belt manufacturers use CE marking to create an illusion of quality and safety based on the understandable assumption that goods with CE marking is proof that the product meets EU quality standards even though no such standards exist.
Unfortunately, Chinese manufacturers have ingeniously created a very similar mark that the majority of consumers may mistakenly believe is a genuine CE mark of European conformity but in reality actually means ‘China Export’, meaning that the product was manufactured in China.
CONSEQUENCES
The consequences of these dishonest activities are much more far reaching than many might realize. As the market share of Asian belt manufacturers grows, Europeanbased conveyor belt manufacturing capacity is diminishing. As I touched on earlier, this
is creating an unhealthy reliance on lowgrade imports and with it the loss of options for those end-users who genuinely need to use high-grade belting for their most demanding applications as well as those where fire safety is paramount.
Genuine European-made quality belting can easily last for up to four or five times longer than belting imported from Asia. The first big benefit to end-users is a vastly reduced ‘lifetime cost’ together with increased productivity as a result of far fewer stoppages for repairs and replacements. There are also direct consequences in terms of the impact on the environment. Firstly, belts with increased longevity mean that the amount of belting that first has to be produced and which is ultimately sent to the scrapheap could easily be halved. Yet another important environmental benefit of sourcing European-made belts is the vastly reduced carbon footprint created by the transportation of a few hundred kilometres within Europe compared to the several thousand kilometres that belts have to travel from Asia.
I would like to think, especially in light of the underhand practices and fakery that I have described, that end-users in Europe and Africa and the Middle East will question the sense of relying so heavily on Asian manufacturers for their supply of conveyor belts in the future.
