The conveyer loader is a marvel of engineering, and it floats! Just an FYI for the uninformed, bauxite is the ore aluminum is made (smelted) from, and aluminum is the most prevalent metal in the world.
@@ojusrawat - I was thinking longer than that, considering the size. Once, we loaded 16 000 tons of corn in Manzanillo, Mexico and it took 2 weeks. It was done ''by hand '' It came in sacks which were then cut open. Most of us didn't mind, as we were alongside. Went ashore every evening. BTW. I sailed 42 years, now retired. Personally, I prefer bulkers. Long port stays and long voyages. Less stress. Keep away fron container ships. Too stressfull. 46 days voyage, love it. Peace.
42 years !!!! that's quite a long career at Sea. Nowadays, loading Operation on bulkers (cape size, panamax, valemax) is quite fast. I have experienced full loading at Port hedland, Aus in less than 24 hrs. Indeed long voyages are peaceful by all means. Thanks for dropping by. Cheers !!!
@@ojusrawat - Yes, 42 years is a long time. I could have continued 5 years more, but I had enough, as it was only container ships I was sent to, which were getting larger and larger, the crew getting smaller and smaller and we were getting older and plder. If the company (Maersk) could operate their ships by remote from the head office in Copenhagen, they would gladly do it. Watch out for those large waves.

How long did it take to load fully ??
Hello Affonso, total loading operation took 7 days as the loading rate was slow.
