Managing bulk terminal operations

IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY of operations is a central element of a manager’s primary role to maximize the profitability of a bulk terminal.

In the Unloading of bulk cargoes – choosing the right system is vital, and the title of the presentation that Lodovico Bernardi, Director Asia Pacific, Bedeschi SpA, will give.

Handling cargo with a high moisture content presents well-known dangers to the safety of bulk carriers. In a CASE STUDY, drawn from his experience dealing with the problem, Garry O’Malley, Operations Director, Teesworks and Chairman of the ABTO Technical Committee, considers this from the shoreside perspective.

Choosing the right Shoreside transport and storage systems will make all the difference to the efficient operation of a bulk terminal. Conference Chairman Professor Mike Bradley, Director of The Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology at the University of Greenwich and Chairman of the ABTO Members’ Advisory Panel will explain how and why.

Each year at the annual ABTO Bulk Terminals conference, we focus on the issues selected by terminal operators they most want to hear about and discuss.
