On the first day of February this year a bulk carrier Panamax type m/v "Alam Pesona" with a cargo of over 73 thousand of tons of power coal called at the MTMG - Maritime Bulk Terminal Gdynia. This is the first visit in 2012 of such a large vessel in Gdynia bulk terminal, which thus started a kind of parade of large bulk carriers, which are going to call at MTMG - Maritime Bulk Terminal Gdynia in the current year ...
Unloading of such a large amount of coal - over 73 thousand tons - was a practical test of the capability of the terminal crew as well as the equipment - especially a new 124-ton mobile crane Liebherr LHM 550 Litronic type purchased in December 2011. The capacity of the new Liebherr crane is over 120 tons on the hook, and 75 tons on the ropes grab, and the maximum range - 48 metres. The crane is equipped with a grab with a capacity of 33 cubic meters - thus two capacities of the grab are enough to load the whole wagon with coal. The crew of MTMG - Maritime Bulk Terminal Gdynia, passed the winter test with flying colours and thanks to their excellent reloading capacity of up to 20 thousand tons per 24 hours, the cargo handling time has been significantly reduced, and thus the length of stay of the vessel at the terminal. In other words, the unloading of the vessel of "panamax" type at the MTMG takes about three days now. This is yet another success of the MTMG crew , whose good work contributes to the growing importance of mass terminal in Gdynia on the Baltic Sea ...
