A self-discharging cement carrier combines marine transportation with an integrated dry bulk handling system for loading, transporting and unloading cement. This allows cement to move efficiently from production facilities to terminals and construction markets.
Follow the voyage of Swadaya Lestari I from loading port to final destination and discover how onboard bulk handling technology supports every stage of the journey.
Loading the cement
Before departure, the vessel and its onboard systems are inspected and prepared for operation.
Cement is then transferred into the cargo holds through a controlled and enclosed Airslide Loading System, creating an efficient material flow during loading.
Once fully loaded, Swadaya Lestari I leaves the port and begins her journey to the next destination.
From transport to self-discharging
At sea, reliable equipment, onboard technology and an experienced crew work together throughout the voyage.
Upon arrival, the vessel prepares its self-discharging system.
The onboard pneumatic E3-Cargo System transfers cement directly from the cargo holds towards the terminal silos through an enclosed and energy-efficient unloading process.
Because the unloading equipment is integrated onboard, the vessel can discharge its own cargo directly into the receiving facility.
One integrated cement handling process
From loading and transportation to pneumatic unloading, each stage is part of one complete material flow.
For Swadaya Lestari I, the Airslide Loading System and E3-Cargo System work together to support reliable cement handling throughout the voyage.
Once discharge is complete, the vessel prepares for its next journey.
From loading port to final destination, every stage is engineered for reliable material flow.
