Discharge and storage
Unloading began on the evening of the day of arrival. After a weekend break on Saturday afternoon and Sunday, the MS Betty was fully unloaded by Thursday, 27 June. The unloading process took a total of 83 hours.
Using a floating crane, the wood pellets were loaded into a hopper. They were then transported by truck to the warehouse. At the warehouse, wheel loaders and conveyor belts were used to continue the handling process. Finally, the wood pellets were equipped with temperature sensors, which can be monitored online around the clock.
The use of the wood pellets
The wood pellets are used as an additional fuel in coal-fired power plants.
When the wood pellets are required, we deliver them in units of approximately 2,500 tonnes.
