Bjuv, Sweden – Cargotec has signed a cargo handling contract with the Lithuanian stevedoring company Bega to supply electro-mechanical equipment for a grain and animal feedstuffs export/import terminal at the port of Klaipéda in Lithuania. Fertiliser and other bulk cargo may also be handled in the future.
The contract calls for a ship loader, belt conveyors, slide gates and diverter gates, a variety of scales, rail wagon/truck loading systems, dust filters, electrical switchgear, power and control cables with installation material and a process control system including human/machine interface and supervisory control and data acquisition system. Cargotec is also responsible for all the associated detailed design work.
The system will have two intake lines rated at 500 tonnes grain perhour for receiving grain from rail wagons and trucks and conveying it into two flat storage buildings with total storage capacity of 160 000 cubic metre. Another intake line with a capacity of 1000 tonnes grain per hour will convey grain and animal feedstuffs from ships into the two storage buildings. Ships will be unloaded using an existing grab crane.
For transferring material from the storage facility to rail wagons and trucks there will be one line with a capacity of 500 tonnes grain/hour, and for transfer into up to Panamax size ships via a ship loader there will be one line with a capacity of 1500 cubic metre per hour. The second ship loader is foreseen to be installed in future
Following the delivery of equipment in April/May next year, there will be a construction and installation phase of about four months with the plant scheduled to be ready for operation by September 2011.
