Self-Unloading Technology

The use of purpose-built self-unloading bulk carriers has meant enormous savings in capital costs due to the simplicity in designing construction of our client’s shoreside facilities. The ship’s design has afforded clients maximum efficiency and minimum cost both for their ocean transportation requirements and their shoreside handling of their raw materials from the ground to the factory. This innovative design has been especially beneficial to the U.S. building material industries.

The company is in position to design both self-unloading ships and port facilities for new clients with long term contracts.

The Skaarup Organization owned and operated bulk carriers with multi-decade contracts for the transportation of millions of tons of dry bulk cargoes, including iron ore, coal, grain, stone aggregate, gypsum, salt, coke, sulphur, phosphate rock, woodchips, and steel. For over 60 years, its unparalleled reputation and performance in bulk transportation have added advantages in competitiveness to its clients.
