Oman: Northern Ireland’s Telestack has won a Euro5.7m deal to supply a mobile shiploading system to the Port of Salalah. The system will be used to load limestone, gypsum and cement clinker and will be operational later in 2018, according to the Irish News newspaper.

Kenya: Samson, a subsidiary of Aumund Group, has delivered four hoppers with ATEX certification to the Port of Mombasa operated by the Kenya Port Authority. The new equipment will be used to import clinker, coal and gypsum to the site. Peak rates of 700t/hr per hopper are expected to considerably improve the import capabilities of the port.
The hoppers are decked with inlet grills with suction capacity, a reverse-jet cleaning system, air compressors, a flex-flap filtration system creating a pressure differential between the inner and outer hopper areas and dust filters on three sides of the hopper. The hoppers are mobile with powered travel and crabbing functionality which lets them be positioned alongside a vessel for unloading and which will allow them to be manoeuvred off the quay and freeing up space when not required. Samson says that these are the first ecological hoppers to be provided with ATEX certification.
This equipment was sourced to fulfil the aims of TradeMark East Africa - Kenya Port Authority Port Resilient Infrastructure Programme to improve port facilities whilst minimising the environmental impact of port operations.
