Lion Bulk Handling (a Lion Marine Group Devision) has proudly received a new order to deliver a state-of-the-art self-discharging cement carrier, featuring their highly energy-efficient E3-Cargo System. This innovative system will be installed on an 8,000 DWT vessel with a discharge rate of 300 tph and a loading rate of 800 tph via their Airside Loading System.
 
The E3-Cargo System stands out as the most energy-efficient bulk handling solution for cement carriers, relying solely on compressors and blowers for unloading—no mechanical conveyors required. The system enables smooth pneumatic or mechanical loading via a Ship Loader into a central point, distributing material evenly to the ship’s holds using airslides, valves, and drop-off pipes. This ensures safe, efficient loading and unloading in all weather conditions.
 
Project Timeline & Engineering Excellence
 
  • The first phase, set for completion by the end of this year, includes the complete design of the loading and unloading systems in close cooperation with the naval architect. All engineering will be carried out using advanced 3D design software, allowing for greater visualization, improved accuracy, faster modifications, and better collaboration. These 3D tools also streamline prototyping and manufacturing, leading to more reliable, cost-effective results.
  • The second phase; to follow final yard negotiations, will include vessel construction, system installation, sea trials, and full commissioning in partnership with the shipyard.
Lion Bulk Handling design, manufacture and commission bulk handling systems for marine, offshore, port and terminal applications.
 
With more than 55 years of design and engineering experience in equipping dry bulk ships, barges, supply vessels, ship loading and unloading equipment, drilling rigs and floating terminals, Lion bulk handling has hundreds of excellent references from all around the world.
 
Whether you’re constructing a new vessel, converting/retrofitting an existing ship, requiring bulk handling training or a feasibility study, or simply need spare parts, Lion Bulk Handling is your partner for bulk material handling solutions.
