New contracts for Schenck Process inthe United Kingdom and JordanSchenck Process has secured two major

contracts for Redler mechanical convey-

ing equipment for use in ports in United

Kingdom and Jordan.

The contract in Liverpool, United

Kingdom is for Peel Ports and is an exten-

sion to the animal feed storage facility valued

at several million pounds. Schenck Process

is acting as the M&E contractor for the bulk

materials handling equipment and this will

be interfacing with the existing system and

supplying new high capacity 800t/ph chain

conveyors, a long high level belt conveyor

plus a MaxiStore and reversing shuttle con-veyor complete with the site wiring, controls,

installation and commissioning.

The project in Jordan is for the new

grain terminal at the Port of Aqaba in

Jordan. The contract valued at 4 million

is a significant award with this being the

third grain silo project secured in the past

12 months within the Middle East region.

The order is for five packages including

the chain conveyors, belt conveyors, belt

and bucket elevators, magnetic separators

and bulk weigh scales with other business

opportunities available within the project

for Schenck Process.

Noise reduction project finally givengreen light in VancouverHaving received the necessary project

permits from the Vancouver Fraser Port

Authority (VFPA), Canada, Cargill can now

move forward with its noise mitigation

project, first announced in April 2012.

The multi-phase project supports efforts

to reduce noise impact levels caused by

Cargills grain terminal located on Vancouvers

North Shore and will consist of the installa-

tion of two fan exhaust silencers, eight dust

collector silencers as well as sound absorbing

barriers along the north side of the facility.

The project also includes the re-distribution

of ventilation fans to reduce noise levels for

the nearest residences.

We are looking forward to moving on

to the next phase of this project, said GerryDickie, general manager at Cargills North

Vancouver grain terminal. We understand

the positive impact that these improvements

to our facility will have on reducing the noise

levels experienced by the surrounding com-

munity, and we are thankful to the VFPA for

approving our plans.

We are very pleased to be supporting

Cargill as it invests in its operations and the

community through the noise mitigation

project, said Duncan Wilson, vice president

of corporate social responsibility at Port

Metro Vancouver. Together with our ten-

ants, terminals and partners in industry

we continually coordinate investments to

preserve the quality of life that communities

have grown to expect in the busy and grow-

ing region of the Lower Mainland.

Record grain exports at MelbournePort TerminalFebruary 2013 was a bumper month

for grain exports at Emerald Grains

Melbourne Port Terminal, Australia.

The grain handling facility has reported

its strongest month of exports since it

opened in 2000. During February, more

than 185 ,000 tonnes of gra in passed

through the fac ilit y and on to eigh t des-

tinations across Asia and Afr ica including

China, Japan and Mozambique.

Glen Collision, general manager stor-

age and handling, Emerald Grain said the

record month was thanks to improved

efficiencies across Emeralds supply chain.Emerald has a long-term lease of two

locomotives which transport grain quickly

from Emeralds storage sites in New South

Wales and Victoria and through to the

port.

Melbourne Port Terminals previous high-

est month of exports was 145,000 tonnes

in July 2012.

The terminal requires grain export-

ers to deliver a minimum 50 percent of

grain via rail to help increase throughput.

Emerald has also introduced an efficient

truck-schedul ing sys tem enab ling 4,000

tonnes road del iveries per day, said

Collison.

The system assists with the flow

of traffic through Appleton Dock and

means logistics companies enjoy a much

faster turnaround. Everyone along

the gra in suppl y chain benef its from

port efficiencies. Growers see better

returns on their grain, exporters can

meet their shipping slot requirements

and international customers have access

to high qua lit y gra in from south eas tern

Australia.

Most grain leaving the port over

February was exported in bulk (load-

ed directly into the ships hull) while

around 20,000 tonnes was packed in

containers.

Some African destinations dont yet

have the capacity to receive grain in bulk.

Melbourne Port Terminals container pack-

ing facility means Emerald still has the abil-

ity to reach this important export market,

said Collison.

Emerald took control of Melbourne Port

Terminals operations when it acquired

storage and handling group Australian Bulk

Alliance in March 2012.

The facility has 48,000 tonnes of on-site storage and the capacity to export

more than 1.2 million tonnes of grain

per year.

GrainCorp able to transfer bulk graincapacityAustralias competition watchdog, the

Australian Competition and Consumer

Commission (ACCC) has agreed

GrainCorps plans to allow customers to

transfer grain capacity to other users in its

port network.

This change will result in a more effic ient

use of port terminal capacity by reducing

the chance that capacity will go unused at

peak times, said Joe Dimasi, ACCC com-

missioner.

A similar system is already implement-

ed by other operators including CBH and

Viterra.

At present GrainCorp handles the major-

ity of grain shipping from eastern states

on a first come first serve basis. Its hoped

that the new system, which comes into

effect on April 23, 2013, will help reallocate

capacity to its most economically efficient

use. The revised protocols are available onGrainCorps website.

First birthday for CBH and Watco railpartnershipOn March 30, 2013 the CBH Group and

Watco reached their first year anniversary

working together to move the states grain

harvest on rail.

Colin Tutt, general manager operations,

CBH Group, said that since CBH and Watco

ran their first rail service from Kwinana

twelve months ago, nearly 5 million tonnes

have been moved on rail.

Together, we have moved 3.5 million

tonnes into Kwinana port and Metro Grain

Centre, and 1.5 million tonnes into both the

Geraldton and Albany ports, he said.

We have

been through a

transition period

during these first

12 months while

the new locomo-

tives and wag-

ons were slowly

brought online.

We are extreme-

ly pleased with

the volume of

grain that has

been moved on

rail, especially in

the wake of the

record 15 million

tonne crop of the

2011-12 season.

This perform-

ance will improve

over time to

provide Western

Australian grow-ers even more

efficiency and

lower freight

rates.

Watco WA

Rail provide rail

logistics serv-

ices to the CBH

Group including

trai n crewing,

planning, sched-

uling and track-

ing, rolling stock

maintenance and

inventory con-

trol.

Watco WA

Rail chief oper-

ating officer Jim

Griffiths said

that while there

have been some

tee thing iss ues

and challenges in

operating on the

WA tracks , over-

all the efficiencyof the fleet is

performing very

well.

In some

instances the new

locomotives and

wagons can in pull

up to 25 percent

more grain to port

with each journey,

so while we are

limited by track

infrastructure, the

increased load

capacity helps us

to better achieve

tonnes to port,

he said.
