Metalock Engineering

Having ascertained that the slew ring on its 20 year-old cement unloader was in need of replacement, the management of Forth Ports, Leith called in Metalock Engineering to machine the 3.28 metre diameter slew ring surfaces to a high degree of flatness. This enabled a new slew ring to be fitted and restore the unloader to efficient use.

GreenSeas has already been successful in its home waters in Trinidad and Tobago where the “Litter kills Marine Life” campaign saw the placement of rubbish bins along Tobago’s heavily polluted public beaches.

Forth Ports contacted the original manufacturer, BMH, Sweden, to obtain the necessary spare parts and also seek recommendations for a company to remachine the badly worn slew ring location faces.
