CRANES AND CARGO HANDLING
AST year was a successful one for BMH Marine, which found several new customers around the world for its Nordströms cement-handling system. In November, it was awarded the contract to supply a Nordströms system to be installed on a 20,200dwt newbuilding at Labroy Shipbuilding & Engineering Pte Ltd, in Singapore. This cement handling system has a loading rate of 1000tonnes/h mechanical and 2 x 400tonnes/h pneumatic. Discharge rates are 4 x 300tonnes/h pneumatic, and up to 450tonnes/h when unloading mechanically. The contract is the customer's third order for a Nordströms system to be installed in a 20,200dwt newbuilding in Singapore.

Previous contracts were signed in July 2004 and January 2005 (as reported in our February 2005 feature).
In Poland, BMH Marine won a contract in June from SMT Shipmanagement & Transport Ltd to supply a Nordströms system. This equipment was ordered for a 23,000dwt bulk vessel to be converted into a cement carrier. Capacities are 1000tonnes/h for loading mechanically and up to 600tonnes/h for unloading pneumatically. Delivery is scheduled for early 2006. In May last year, China Harbour Engineering Co (Group) also placed an order with BMH Marine for the supply of a Nordströms material-handling system for one floating
offshore transhipment barge and two 10,500dwt self-unloading barges.
These
barges, to be built in China for Whyalla Transhipment Inc, will have an unloading capacity of 5000tonnes/h each. The cargo to be handled is iron ore.
Increased capability on CAD/CAM software
CRANE and deck cargo handling module has been released by Autoship Systems Corp for its Autoload 6.0 software.
A This
module allows a user to simulate the process of loading heavy or oversized cargo. Graphical stowage of cargo on deck is also included in this new plug-in.
Using the crane module's set of functions, the user is able to move cargo from the berth to its position onboard the vessel, utilising the module's drag-and-drop capability.
Two
Sandnes, a 28,400dwt re-modelled vessel built by Sietas Schiffswerft, Germany, and delivered to Reederei Hans-Jürgen Hartmann in 2005, is equipped with a Nordströms gravity-type self- unloading system for handling aggregates, with a rated capacity of 3000tonnes/h.
choices are possible: cargo can be hooked to the crane, and then either graphically dragged to its final location on the vessel, or coordinates of the final cargo location can be typed in. Vessel stability and strength are automatically updated.
