Bruks Siwertell secures strategic ship loader order from Sky Logistics in Egypt
(Posted on 15/02/25)
Bruks Siwertell has secured a new order for a Siwertell ship loader from Sky Ports, Egypt, part of the Sky Logistics Group. The ship loader will play a pivotal role in supporting Egypt’s cement export industry, serving key markets in the Mediterranean, Africa, and beyond.
The screw-type Siwertell type-1B ship loader, with a rated capacity of 1,000t/h, is destined for a new multipurpose terminal in East Port Said, which has been developed to grow the region’s economy and align with its ‘green’ port ambitions.
“Siwertell technology is renowned for its excellent environmental protection credentials, and for its reliable, efficient operational performance,” says Per Hansson, Operations Director, Bruks Siwertell. “The order marks a significant milestone in our growth strategy for the region, and underscores Bruks Siwertell’s commitment to expanding its global presence, particularly within Africa, where we have one other ship loader scheduled for delivery in 2025.
“We are increasingly called upon to be part of large-scale, regional infrastructure projects, and have a reputation for delivering quality, dynamic, tailored solutions that offer a competitive advantage against established suppliers,” continues Hansson. “Our mobile solutions are also increasingly specified for cement and fly ash markets, indicating strong potential for future collaborations.”
Sky Logistics chose Bruks Siwertell for its reputation. The Siwertell ship loader offers: fully enclosed, dust-free cement handling; low power consumption compared to alternative technologies; high rates of efficiency and fast vessel turnarounds; and a versatile screw-type conveyor system, which can operate at various inclines and angles, enabling it to serve a range of bulk carrier types, including open hatch vessels of up to 60,000 dwt in size.
The ship loader will be assembled onsite and is scheduled for delivery at the end of 2025.
It will come equipped with a tripper arrangement that will be integrated into the operator’s jetty conveyor gallery, and will also feature advanced digital technology, such as the Siwertell SmartView IIoT tool for enhanced operational monitoring and support. A comprehensive five-day training program will also be delivered.
