Nukumi

[Guest]

Has anyone seen any reports on how the single point loading system is working with the Nukumi? I seem to recall reading in a shipbuilding trade publication from the late 1970s that there was some consideration given to installing such a system to be used by self-unloading ships to load at some of the conveyor equipped ore docks but this was abandoned as too limited in scope to offset the carrying capacity lost by the weight of the equipment. This would have been when I was in my early teens so my memory may not be exact in detail about this proposal and if it was focused on the Great Lakes or ocean trade. So I was just wondering how CSL is finding this arrangement on their new vessel and if it is possible that such a system could be adapted to a wider range of commodities.
