Taiwan Power orders coal unloaders

Two Siwertell screw unloaders, each designed to discharge coal at 2,200t/h, have been ordered from the MacGregor Group for the Ta-Lin Power Station in Taiwan. Favoured over traditional bucket chain and wheel constructions, the ships that they will unload will be in the range of 80,000 dwt to 150,000 dwt.
