Two new loads. parallel transfer.
Simultaneous launch.
MMTP simultaneously shipped two bulk carriers for export:.
From 65 thousand tons of cast iron of Orel - to Turkey;
From 29.5 thousand tons of wheat from the agricultural regions of Russia to North Africa.
The port handled grain for the first time in its history, and cast iron for the first time in 30 years.
Simultaneous delivery includes two different delivery technologies.
For cast iron, cranes and manipulators were equipped with multi-jaw grips, and in the harbor workshops special buckets were made for careful loading of ingots.
The wheat was supplied from hopper wagons through a bunker and mobile conveyors directly to the warehouse - without intermediate storage in the warehouse.
The port tested both programs at the same time, showing in practice how its universal capabilities can be used for different cargoes.
For now, the deliveries are pilot. The partners will make a decision on regular deliveries after the flights are finished and the transport economics are evaluated.
