Unloading a 300 meter coal bulk ship. Bucket crane with massive bucket close to the wheelhouse 

I was thinking the same thing! I used to do the same when I was a kid.

Absolutely!! That is what my channel is all about my friend.

Often they lower down a wheel loader, and it scoops up the rest in one pile. Sometimes a bulldozer.

Spent 15 yrs driving loading shovels in all size ships, during unloading, coal, grain, animal feed salt etc..

Grab discharge is usual for bulk coal discharge. I worked in UK merchant navy back in 1980's and watched many thousands of tonnes of coal, grain, bauxite and phosphates loaded and discharged... Maximum discharge rate Isaw was a full 7,200MT of coal discharged in 6.5Hours. Grain is sometimes discharged using suction, just like a huge vacuum cleaner - some vids on youtube.

I think my friend, the operator, said that the grip capacity of this machine is 40 cubic meters, not 300 cubic meters, and the load it unloads per hour.

300M is the ship length which makes it a Panamax Bulker. Thus weight of cargo maybe about 80,000MT.

Também sou portuário avulso aqui no Brasil ( espírito santo )

Several yards by the looks of it it will take all day

40 m3

Grab is probably 10MT so about 9m3. Reply below says 40m3 which would mean about 53MT of coal per grab which I don't think is correct. Biggest grab I ever saw was 20 or 25MT in Amsterdam - I was Radio Officer in UK merchant navy 1970s/1980s and was on a coal carrier ( a "collier") in Amsterdam loading coal from a much larger bulk carrier and the port was using the 20/25MT grabs. Took about 6 hours to fully load about 7,200MT of coal...

That's not steam, it's dust.

Jesus Christ. Some people are dumb!

😂 you people been saying the same shit for 40 years and every prediction hasn't happened 😂 YOU'VE BEEN WRONG FOR 40+ YEARS 🤦‍♂️🤣

Who's new climate are you referring to ,you live on the same planet as the rest of us

Coal is great stuff.

That’s fuel for EV’s you tree hugger

Well, go away and watch something else. Try and be positive.

Well done. Nice to see.👍

an operator's shift lasts for hours yk?
