Self loading and unloading system for bulk carrier ships (mechanical)
Metso minerals
Metso's self-unloading ships provide you with the best and most reliable systems.
Our self-unloading systems permit discharge into shoreside hoppers, conveyors or stockpiles. The only requirements are mooring dolphins and a place to unload. Our self-unloaders have proven their versatility in a host of specialty applications, including use as transfer platforms and ballasting of oil drilling platforms and underwater cables.
The Metso self-unloading systems reduce turnaround time from days to hours. A cape-sized vessel with a discharge rate of 10,000 tph can be completely discharged in 10 to 20 hours, compared with 4 to 6 days by other unloading systems.
Port, crane and labor costs are reduced through its use. Hold damage, inherent with the use of traditional unloaders, is eliminated, usually lowering insurance premiums. In addition, our self-unloading systems maximize ship productivity by allowing return shipments to get underway sooner.
Comprehensive pre-commissioning system training and worldwide after-sales service are provided with every self-unloader we sell.
