The loading system is composed by No. 2 lines. Each is composed with a travelling ship loader mounted on rails and equipped with a tripper conveyor to elevate the material to the loader boom. The tripper is fed by a dock conveyor, which extends for 300 m and is positioned parallel to the parked vessel. After a single hold of the ship is filled, the loader is moved to the next operating zone travelling at a rate of approximately 40 meters per minute. The loading capacity for each line is equal to 2200 t/h and each shiploader is designed to satisfy the required loading capacity permitted for each wheels, on the exiting rails installed on the pier.
