I’ve worked as a knock down man in one of these ships here in G TEXAS. The smell is a head ache, the pay isn’t all that great. But when there’s a good team doing it it right then as a knock down man I don’t have to go down into the hatch at all. And if it does rain and the fertilizer gets wet then good luck breaking it apart. Also no trucks are used here, they use a conveyer belt, the crane drops it into a hole and it goes into the warehouse.

They need some need loader operators asap! Yu dont need speed to push up 😂
I know your supposed to handle that with care, but it looks like so much bloody fun..
The loader drivers should look into snow pushers for the loader with the boom arm. There would be less spill over and it might get stacked a little higher.

I do security at a port in Portland. Last year the company loaded up a ship with grain. Then found out it was the wrong grain or whatever. They had to bring in a Crain on a barge and unload the ship. I saw so much grain be leaked out onto the water with ever scoop. I work graveyard. It took then 24 hours a day for like 6 days to complete the unload. My God. What a horrible mistake. 6-11-19

Tomasz Klisz a loader works much better in the ship because the bucket is wider. Bobcat works better cleaning a barge than a loader do to small bucket size and more nimble

At the same time, food scraps go to landfill - nutrients get contaminated in leachate, smaller doesn't even capture CH4 from it. That cost could be very much avoided.

Having done this job as a truck driver, which is certainly one of the most tedious jobs I've ever done . The trouble with using a vacuum and conveyor's is the sheds are located all round the port some could be a mile and half away and some storage sheds might even be off site in some of the old airfields around Immingham. The crane's also unload other cargoes such as steel or unprocessed chrome which cannot be vacuumed up. So the system they use is probably the best and cheapest available for the varieties of cargo they handle.
That seems like such a slow way to unload.
