Is this seriously the unload process? Seems like it would take too long. For this type of material, i would think a suction-type of operation would be continous and therefore faster. Time is money.
It's a little funny to me that no one has mentioned that the bulk carrier was empty. If it had product in the cargo holds. The water line would be just about to the anchor chain.
LOA stands for "length overall" and measures your vessel's length, including any spars that protrude from the hull or platforms on the stern. LOA differs from LWL, "loaded waterline length," and LOH, or "length of the hull." I think the vessel in the video is m/v MSC Irina. LOA 399,95 meters.
