STST @ DD Shipping

Ship-to-Ship transloading @ DD Shipping.

Most cargo operations take place between a ship and a land-based terminal. Nevertheless, some cargo is moved midstream or even in the open sea by a floating crane from one ship to another ship.

Usually the receiving ship is called the 'daughter' vessel while the delivering vessel is called 'mother' vessel. STST activities are very efficient due to the absence of intermediate storage.

At the DD Shipping-terminal in Puurs, an E-Crane installed in 2004 is regularly transloading peat from an 8000-tons ship into a smaller self-propelled river ship.

The fact that this is done by a land-based E-Crane makes this operation very unique.

  E-Crane supports VTI Brugge

VTI Brugge: Inspection by E-Crane engineer Sven De Vriendt of electrical cabinets.

E-Crane has worked together the past year with the 7th grade of the technical school VTI Brugge on a project for our 700 Series E-Cranes.

We made two electrical cabinets available for a school project with only the hardware components installed inside. The students of the science and technology school needed to make the connections between the different components by using the electric circuit diagram.

Everything was under supervision from their teacher Mr. Paul Verschelde who is very pleased with the cooperation. He said "The last year students get in this way a perfect experience with the real industry and latest technologies!". Afterwards the electrical cabinets were tested with the supervision of engineer Sven De Vriendt from E-Crane.
