The ports of the Baltic States began to use the new cargo loading system
Publishedо 5 December, 2017
Introduction of the container handling technology of bulk materials will become a new stage in the development of the terminals. It allows to improve significantly the efficiency of cargo handling. The port of Riga became the first one in Europe, where this system was used.
New technology allows to handle bulk cargo with usage of standard containers and the minimum equipment at all stages of transportation. The cargo may be stored at the terminal without unloading in the same container in which it arrived to the port, and unloaded on the ship from this container with the use of container lift equipped with turret system. Resource saving is almost 50%. This processing of bulk materials is an environmentally friendly technology, as the cargo is poured into the hold, not on the top of it, which reduces the amount of dust in the air, and less handling of the load is made.
