The Logistics
The Terminal will take coal from up to two barges simultaneously by using 4 of the Terminals 5 cranes. One crane in spare for overhaul and moving equipment around. The coal from the barges will either go to the Terminals cargo holds, or directly through the hoppers and conveyor system to the Off-take vessel. When loading an Off-take vessel the coal can be taken either from the Terminals cargo holds, or from barges, or from a combination of the two.
The Terminal is designed to load a Cape size vessel without having to move either vessel during the loading.
Financial Benefits
Competitive Blending, Storage and Transfer rates. Saving on barging due to higher utilization. Number of barges can be reduced for the same quantity transported Improved blending efficiencies at point of loading Faster turnaround with loading rates of abt 60,000t/day Reduced freight rates by use of larger vessels and faster turnaround Reduced Demurrage
