Heavy lift AAL delivers 'mobile' grain shiploader to Vancouver
LEADING multipurpose heavy lift operator AAL has completed a series of shipments to Port Metro Vancouver of an innovative "mobile" grain shiploader to be installed at the Port's Pacific Terminal.
The largest component was over 66 metres long and weighed 250 tonnes and, once assembled and operational, will allow loading of postpanamax ships.
The shiploader was transported from China along AAL's Pacific Service between Asia and North America and aboard the 31,000-dwt AAL Singapore.
Responsible for logistics and planning was Ontario-based Convoy Logistics Providers Ltd (CLP), appointed by bulk material systems expert EMS-TECH who designed and commissioned the shiploader.
Said AAL's Pacific Liner Service general manager Felix Schoeller: "The cargo comprised of a newly manufactured shiploader, dock conveyor and transfer tower - part of a wider infrastructure development that will boost grain throughput by millions of tonnes a year."
AAL is one of the world's leading breakbulk, project cargo and heavy lift shipping operators, providing a unique dual tramp and liner service with multiple classes of modern multipurpose heavy lift vessels, ranging from 12,000, to 31,000 dwt.
