Thank you Jim and Denis.

Nice one, Clyde! I like how what could have been an ordinary boring bulker is overloaded with various additional features here, especially that conveyor belt line that goes all around the superstructure! :D

Best regards,

Yes Cody, HYBRID SELF-UNLOADERS are interesting! "Well-suited to self-load and carry out off-shore transhipment operations, hybrid self-unloading vessels use a mechanism, usually grabs, to raise the cargo and deposit it into a hopper onboard the vessel. The cargo is then carried by a series of conveyors on deck to the boom for a single point discharge."

Thanks for the heads up about CSL Thevenard

Great shot, Clyde. CSL Reliance is looks like a very interesting vessel.
PS. CSL Thevenard will be back in Australia soon as Acacia and under a different flag.
