My dad was Director of Port Facilities for Conrail many years ago. One of his facilities was the former Reading Railroad Port Richmond Terminal on the Delaware River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Conrail secured a contract to load scrap metal ships in much this manner. One of the problems they ran into was dropping scrap from deck height instead of lowering the bucket to the bottom of the hold. This resulted in a lot of friction and heat being generated, to the point that the scrap was heating up to combustion temperatures. They had a heck of a time figuring out how to lower the temperatures and extinguish the fires that erupted. Putting water on board wasn't an option due to the potential of capsize. I don't recall what the fix was. My recollection is that the railroad chose to not renew the contract due to the liability concerns, plus the expense of having to "delicately" place the scrap in the hold.

When loading scrap up here in Canada, the scrap metal gets on the dock already loaded in dump trucks. The truck backs up into the tub, dumps the scrap and leaves, and the tub gets dumped into the ships hold. Lots of dump trucks means the second the tub hits the dock, it gets loaded.

Yes, that was what I was waiting for. Looks like someone had to go there to release the chains in the tipping end but you can barely walk in that pile of scrap so I wonder how it was done. I don't see any remote release mechanism for the chains.

Conveyor can only handle small items, plus scrap has sharp edges and corners and can easily destroy a conveyor belt. Electro magnet can only lift a couple of tons, grapple's better.

There should be large front loaders filling the hopper, not a grappling claw. Or a conveyor running material from the ground to the cargo hold on the ship. This is the least efficient way of bulk material loading I ever seen.

Don't know why they don't use front end loaders on dock, for clean up. Fastest way to fill a tub with scrap is with a dump truck. In and out, one and done. Bulldozer in hold just won't work. Scrap hooks/binds itself together, trying to push it, is like trying to push the entire pile. When your talking 30 metric tons hanging off the cranes hook, speed isn't a good/safe thing.
