Siwertell supplies Mersey
A new high capacity screwtype ship unloader has been ordered for Seaforth Grain Terminal in Liverpool from BMH Marine. In future bulk carriers of up to 75,000 dwt will be discharged at the terminal with unloading capacities of up to 1800 tons/hour.
Gottwald Port Technology concluded its business year 2004/2005 on 30 September with record figures.
The heavy duty Siwertell unloader ST-790 D will handle grain and maize. In addition soya beans will be handled at up to 1700 tons/hour. The efficiency of the design is also expected to result in a significant improvement in Seaforth’s overall throughthe-ship unloading rates.
The state of the art electrical control system of the unloader comprises an information technology module known as the Siwertell Monitoring system with remote support function, as well as an Anti Collision module automatically overriding the operator in case of a potential collision with the ship, and a Semi Automatic Unloading module generating an operator-friendly atmosphere and a safe, efficient and environmentally friendly operation.
