Interesting video but would have liked to watched til the end until it's completely empty and maybe pan round so we can see where it's unloaded that would have been far more interesting to watch
The slats cover the conveyor belt during the voyage. These are ore ships that transport rock or stone to mills. The slats control the rate at which the ore lands on the conveyor. Other wise the conveyor would bog down under the thousans of tons or weight on them
Thank you very much for keeping the camera at a distance so we are able to see what all the workrs are doing and what effect each ones actions have on the pile. Many thanks.
Looks like the bar is actually tethered so that they could mechanically pull on it. Tethering the worker won't help since the danger here is falling rock, not moving belt. There's a person on the belt start/stop button at all times.
@@MaximKachurovskiy No. Literally the only reason there is and ever could be for the bar being tethered is so that they can get the bar back when someone gets buried.
@@MaximKachurovskiy No, I see nothing except a way to keep the tools when the workers are inevitably buried. I don't even see workers, a boat, or ore. Just a cable holding a tool
Ignore the countless workplace hazards, no breathing masks, no glasses, no conveyor gaurds, literally standing ontop of a moving mass, the pinch points, no you're right this was 'satisfying to watch'
@@alexanderwoolley1623 all I meant was the rocks falling into the the little conveyor belt and the way it was collapsing down. THAT IS what I was on about.

They rip open the convayor from underneath. Attach a new long piece to the opposing end. Loop it around and make a new closing line where the old meets the new. But it takes a long time.
You mostly dont replace them if not totally worn out. Its kinda easy to repair the broken part on spot, and worth it if you have a load of stones and the rest of the belt looks good. Plus I think they inspect the belt pretty well before they dump.
The largest lumps almost always end up at the bottom on the outside which in this case means they are furthest from the conveyor. I also deal with bulk commodities in my work!
It's a feature of how differently sized particles 'flow' within a mass; the bigger particles, being the most cumbersome and thus least able to flow, will typically end up at the bottom and to the outside of a pile if they're being agitated, because the smaller particles can best follow the path of least resistance. In fact, if you start out with a mass that's evenly distributed and agitate it, they'll naturally sort themselves in that fashion.
Holy cow..! these gentlemen’s aren’t “spring chicks”.., they be hustling around that deck., pretty spry., (that is the first 2 in the frame. Great video, Thank you.
Does anyone know what those objects are, that they are pulling out of the ore and stacking them? 🤨 They appear to be wooden boards with a metal loop on the top. He has a keen eye at finding them. I wouldn't have seen them all in time to pull them all out. 😀 Also, all that grit probably act like sand paper and wear out the conveyer and it's bearings quickly. 🤔
These are covers for the conveyor. The guy in the front uses a winch to take them off one by one. Then he drops them on the belt. And every time he does, the guy in the back knows there is a cover coming.
@@DdW85 👍 Thanks, I see that now. He is progressively exposing the conveyer belt to more ore as it is emptied out. If all the ore was on the belt, the motor couldn't handle all the weight and seize the motor on the conveyor belt. 🤔
Appears to be a guy working the winch line (which is used to hook and pull the boards) and working the conveyor stop. Can see he pauses the conveyor when needed. They appear to have thoroughly wet down to control dust, definitely some sprain/strain/trip issues but apart from that there's nothing too wrong with what they're doing. Not terribly efficient for quantity shift but pretty decent for low labour cost.
@@allanwalker5305 Eh, it helps, but the primary use for the water is to suppress dust, or all of these guys would have been chocking on it. I've worked in heavy industry for a fair bit of my life and despite how it may look, dust is by far the number one danger in what they're doing. Most of the governments are only just starting to come around to the fact that fine microphage dust is far more deadly than asbestos. Asbestos, you can swim in the stuff all your life and maybe be fine. Maybe only cut a few holes in a sheet and get mesothelioma. Like a bad lottery. Silicate dust, it's exposure. No chance or luck to it. You breathe the stuff in and your lungs can't expel it, can't "eat" it. The fine microphage particles build up where they can't be expelled and your lung walls grow over them. Rinse, repeat. Anyone with enough exposure is done, it's a timebomb deal.
They have ropes for the workers to hold on to, they just don't need it. You can see them use it on other ships with steeper sides but this one is fairly flat considering.

I always have to shift people from the (aft) BACK to the bow area, to even out weight, just to be able to get UPpP & on plane when on my 24' BOAT !!! Combined, 4-5 people, may weigh 500-600 POUNDS, THIS boat is 3000 x 2000 = 6 MILLION pounds 🥴☹😥😂 IMAGINE trying to get that movin along 😂😥☹🥴😯🤣🤣👍
Stainless steel is an alloy. The original ore is iron as is all steel once the iron ore is processed and it is pure steel then certain other metals are added to turn it into steel with other minerals and metals are used to create the various grades of stainless steel. Most graded of stainless are no longer magnetic like iron and steel are.
@@AMBASSADORHOFF you are welcome but I really just touched the surface. I grew up in a steel down and the steel mill was a major revenue stream for the entire area. While neither I nor any of my family ever worked in the mill, I just have always had an almost insane desire to always learn about stuff and how raw materials get to the finished product. It’s probably because an old saying of my mother’s “ the day you stop learning is the day you die.” So I have a great desire even at 67 to learn something each and every day.
That's stainless steel ore. What you don't see in this video is a few hundred Chinese men at the other end of the boat shining up all those rocks so that the steels comes out nice and shiny.
There's a reason the young guys doing the work, the old guys have already seen what happens when the load lets go unexpectedly and buries someone into a puree.
Interesting video but would have liked to watched til the end until it's completely empty and maybe pan round so we can see where it's unloaded that would have been far more interesting to watch
I agree.
Get out more

Thanks. That was strange! I had to stop and read the comments just to figure that one out. Now it makes sense
Thanks
I was wondering why there is so many slats and also wondering why the or didn't bog down the conveyor thanks for answering both questions
I didn't get it 😕

Are all of you being sarcastic?
Thank you very much for keeping the camera at a distance so we are able to see what all the workrs are doing and what effect each ones actions have on the pile. Many thanks.
I didn't know I wanted to watch but now I'm almost finished with the entire video. Random. Those are some really hard working guys. Damn
I like how the pry bar is tethered so if the worker gets buried they can get the bar back.

Man I wish I had a cushy, safe job like these guys.
Respect to Host and Amazing Channel 👍✌️🇨🇦
For 'automated unloading' it is amazing how labor intensive it is.
This is China, they have enough people
@jonas : your "safety line" is actually a steel cable on a winch to pull the logs out from under the ore
was gonna say...oh how nice they tied it to the boat so they kinda know where to look for him when the pile collapses and buries him lol.
The guy pulling the slips needs a raise.
Love this kind of video and they show everything. Almost everything. ❤
These people are being used as slaves how is it nice to look at. They have no safety in any way except their tools.
I agree with other commenters. Really enjoy the video but I want to see the end. Completely cleared.
I wonder how much trouble it is to get the ore off if the conveyor breaks? It certainly doesn't look easy to replace!
You're absolutely right I bet.

@@skulcandykid thats if the belt lacing is still good
When the mechanic arrives, the first thing he says is "you guys are gonna have to clear out all this material before I can work, you know."
*That unloading looked more difficult than other unloading jobs., as the rock ore wasn't playing ball to get onto the conveyor belt.*
Seriously hard job today, would like to see more of this.
They're hiring .😁
Hello from Texas wish we had some gravel like that for the ranch road. Wednesday afternoon in far East Texas 5 miles from Louisiana.
The largest lumps almost always end up at the bottom on the outside which in this case means they are furthest from the conveyor. I also deal with bulk commodities in my work!

Great video,
Thank you.
Never saw the beginning of the unload before, lots of hard work
One skid steer or mini excavator would spare 3 people and in the long run will most definitely save lives
Some hard work, thanks for creating the video.
These guys earn their beers for the day.
Merry Christmas everyone, I enjoy your videos Yang
Who would have thought unloading ore from a ship would be recorded and played on TH-cam? Even weirder, who would have thought I’d like watching it.
I bet these guys are banned from the sushi bar, where they can't help themselves from standing astride the conveyer pushing food around.
You can tell that the workers are not unionized. Their bonus is going home at the end of the day.
One worker the rest just dancing around
Amazing work fellas if I could I'd buy you all a beer 🍻
Very interesting. I always wondered how they did that. Thanks for sharing!
Great video ! 👍
"Hey Rick! Remember that time we died in an avalanche on a ship?" "Hell yeah I do Steve! Good times."
Awesome!! Fun to watch
the kid only shovels rocks onto the belt when it's full.
6 minutes in
wtf am i watching?
Edit:
14 mins in
That second guy makes the first guy look even better
Thats conveyor must have one hell of a head/tail pulley on it. Power
While it probably is a big motor, it likely has a gear reduction
That's how conveyor gear boxes work, at least the ones in the quarry i've been aroun

Love the guy in the white T Shirt hair is it braided. A lot of men wear braids in America
The guy walking across the bar at 16.36 😂 mental
Workplace safety is obviously not a priority there! Where is this, and what type of ore is it?
That is pretty cool!
4:27 about bloody time the right tool for the job, jeez.
You load sixteen tons and what do you get
Some pebbles in your welly on a slippery deck.
(with apologies to Tennessee Ernie Ford)
oddly satisfying
I wonder why they didn't use a skid steer loader to manage how the ore gets pushed into the belt?
The inside of the barge is steep on the sides. Would be difficult for a skid steer
Hosing it with water is easier and far cheaper at a guess.
belt loops on sweat pants....that guy is a legend
Reminds me of every auger accident I've ever heard of.
I wouldn't want to meet that big guy in a back ally of a bar.
I'd like to see the video of the barge that came up beside this one being discharged.
SHOULD HAVE BEEN 1hr LONG
Hypnotic.

I don't see many feminists in bulk cargo unloading.
They are a lot smarter than those who do.

You know when the tools are worth more than the workers life when the tools have a safety line.
The safety line is a winch you can see as tension builds up when the pull a slat

So this is where we get the large from! I had no idea.
Simultaneously interesting but oh so disappointing that workers lives are so readily expendable.
Re uploaded video.
All they need is a hand held industrial vibratory rod....that would keep that pile moving......
awesome job
Brave, skilful men!
And this how the phrase "Kick Rocks" got its humble start.
Why do you not push the sides onto the converyor at the same time? Instead of leaving a large line in the middle with both sides to clean up?
Looks like that's what the water hoses are for. You can't manually push a 12 ft high pile of rock. But that water will eventually undermine it.
Now this is how you get a leg up on the pile.
Was macht Mister Wichtig mitten im Bild ?😂
If they offered me such work, I would never agree to it. It is very dangerous and tiring. I wish you good luck
If the alternative is to starve, you would agree to it.
@@julianstafford7071 Yes, I do not agree, but there are many professions and jobs instead of this hard and dangerous work
I wonder how many of the wooden thing we're buried and got thru to the discharge?
Somebody operates the conveyor and probably observes what's going on in the cargo hold and stops the conveyor if a slat gets through unnoticed.
I bet a few get through, there's probably a stowage with spares onboard.
I thought that pile would never get smaller
