Discharging -
Pneumatic: at 450 Mtons/hr via 3 lines (150Mtons/hr per line) of 10 Inches each located about 70 m from bow on starboard side. Discharge rate is based on 150 m Horizontal and 30 m Vertical with 3 soft bends of 90 degrees.
Average rates are based on clean shore pipes with free flow and no back
pressure, rates exclude stripping time.
Mechanical: at 150 Mtons/hr via bulk chute located on Port Side and about
