Anhydrite and gypsum transhipment operation
Magnetite concentrate transhipment operation
Cape Preston, Western Australia
Case study
- A CSL transhipment shuttle vessel (TSV) loaded magnetite concentrate at Cape Preston, Western Australia, before shuttling the cargo to an ocean-going vessel (OGV) anchored offshore.
- The TSV positioned itself alongside the OGV without tug assistance, using its bow and stern thrusters.
- Equipped with gravity-fed self-unloading system and ship-loader, the TSV discharged the cargo directly into the OGV’s cargo holds at rates of up to 4,000 tonnes per hour.
