Multipurpose ship loader for Richards Bay Bulk Terminal
The Richards Bay Bulk Terminal has taken delivery of a new multipurpose ship loader as part of its capacity creation initiatives.
This investment of over R124-million is expected to contribute to improved loading rates at the terminal, as well as to aid in the handling of increased volumes of strategic export commodities in line with forecast demand.
“This ship loader introduces an opportunity for maximum use of underutilised berth capacity and it comes at a crucial time when the economy is recovering,” Richards Bay Terminals acting managing executive Thulasizwe Dlamini says.
He adds that the existence of the loader was especially significant as cover for when similar equipment undergoes scheduled maintenance.
The ship loader boasts a capacity of 3 000 t/h at a density of 1 900 kg/m3.
Moreover, its design meets all the legal dust emission requirements determined by an environmental impact analysis.
“The loader forms part of three capacity-related initiatives that will see us handle more export chrome, magnetite and coal volumes.
