The CSL Atlantic and CSL Brisbane are hybrid self-unloading bulk carriers. The vessels were initially built with marine cranes serving each of the four holds for self-loading and self-discharging. To improve the discharging and provide a clean single-point discharge, the vessels underwent a ‘hybrid’ conversion. This meant the installation of shipboard hoppers, conveying systems and a discharge boom, as well as additional electrical generators to power the new equipment. With these features, the cranes grab from the cargo holds and discharge into a hopper adjacent to each hold. This reduces the cycle-time for the cranes and increases the overall discharge rate.

These vessels are suitable for granular free-flowing cargoes. From the deck conveyors onward, a hybrid self-unloader operates in the same fashion as a gravity self unloader. The cargo is conveyed out of the hoppers along the deck to cross conveyors or elevating systems that move the cargo onto the boom for discharging ashore. Location of the boom drives the complexity of transfers and elevating systems.

Pay loaders are used for cleanup of material in the holds that cannot be removed by the grabs
