JSI Alliance’s heavy-lift vessel moves Bedeschi shiploader to Ruwais
It was business as usual for the JSI Alliance members as the heavy-lift vessel Fairplayer recently transported a Bedeschi shiploader. The vessel loaded the 370-tonne unit at Jebel Ali and delivered it to Fertil in Ruwais, UAE.
The transport has been made easier with the vessel’s capabilities. The shiploader measuring 23,000 cubic metres, with a size of 39,35 metres by 16 metres by 36,7 metres, was lifted onboard the heavy-lift vessel using its two 900-tonne capacity cranes.

Upon arrival in Ruwais, the vessel offloaded the shiploader.
This shiploader was manufactured by Bedeschi for fertilizer and granulated urea. The design capacity of the machine is 1.200 t/h and it will be running on rails, with a towed tripper to divert the product from a wharf gallery conveyor onto a transfer belt, and then to a loading boom belt.
The tailormade shiploader will be luffing and slewing to facilitate all loading operations required at the terminal.
