KENCANA MURIA JAYA

2024-11-06

KMJ first started to operate their E-Crane in 2019 at Muara Berau outer anchorage in East Kalimantan close to Samarinda. As a result of the successful operation during the first couple of years, in early 2022 the decision was taken to invest in a second identical floating E-Crane. Both crane barges were built in Batam, after which the cranes were installed in the same shipyard and towed to Kalimantan. Experience shows that the floating E-Cranes can comfortably be used in wave heights of up to 2.5m while rope cranes in the same area need to cease operation at wave heights of 1.5...

BAYAN RESOURCES

2024-11-06

DESCRIPTION OF E-CRANE Two 2000 Series E-Cranes are operating at Balikpapan Coal Terminal, owned by Bayan Resources.

The E-Cranes typically unload coal from 8,000 DWT deck barges into two hoppers (selection of hopper depends on swing angle ). Design capacity of each crane is 1,500 tons per hour and up to 400,000 tons per month is being unloaded with one E-Crane. Both cranes are also...

Georgia Pacific is a world leader in the production of tissue, pulp, packaging and building products. The new E-Crane is used for unloading jumbo barges of wood chips into a hopper on the pier. The E-Crane is stationary on the dock, but its long outreach allows it to reach across the entire 78’ width of the woodchip barges at both high and low water elevations. The E-Crane replaced an old-style ship unloading crane, which...

Global Materials Services

2016-11-29

Description of the E-Crane In 2002 and 2003, two E-Cranes were installed at Global Materials Services in Venezuela. Both material handling E-Cranes are installed on a floating platform on mile 182 of the Orinoco River in Puerto Ordaz. The E-Cranes unload barges of bauxite into two hoppers also mounted on the floating platform. Global Materials Services is contracted by the bauxilum company, which mines bauxite in central Venezuela. The bauxite is loaded into barges and shipped 350 miles downstream to Puerto Ordaz where the E-Cranes offload the material. This raw material is processed...
