Self-Unloaders

CSL Frontier

The Americas and Caribbean

CSL Frontier is a 47,761 DWT Handymax self‐unloading bulk carrier with four cargo holds, strengthened for heavy cargoes, loaded through eight hatches. This vessel currently operates on the coasts of the
Americas.

The discharge is gravity fed through the moving hole feeder gate system via two longitudinal conveyor belts feeding to a central C‐loop that lifts the cargo onto the telescoping boom conveyor and ashore.

Discharge rate is variable to a maximum of 3,000 metric tonnes and 2,500 cubic metres per hour for volumetric cargoes.

Using the flexible boom and precise control of the discharge rate makes the vessel suitable for discharge to almost any receiving facility including enclosed hoppers, barges and trucks. The vessel is double hulled, including bunker tanks, and utilises a bow thruster and high‐lift rudder to give excellent handling characteristics.

MV CSL Frontier is wholly owned and operated by CSL.
