Ocean going vessels are now being loaded using the newest Ship Loader design in the BRUKS Rockwood portfolio. The machine installed at the Kinder Morgan / IMT terminal in Port Sulphur, LA was successfully commissioned in January. The loader has a design capacity of 5000 TPH. Utilizing traveling, slewing and luffing features, the machine is capable of efficiently loading vessels in place. This design drastically reduces dock time and manpower requirements while providing maximum vessel size flexibility. This impressive machine was delivered and commissioned in less than one year’s time! The successful installation is a result of positive collaboration between the Kinder Morgan and BRUKS teams.
