This is designed so that each haul matches each shut, so each section is loaded separately. The boom is for unloading the ship, again each ship can haul over 14,000 tons of material.
This one is unloading a chemical that is combined with the type ore found here, it is mixed to form pellets, which make shipping the ore easier.Don't ask me how it all works as it was not fully explained, just mentioned.
This one is in Wisconsin.
It just amazes me that there were so many loading facilities in the harbor, the tonnage shipped per year was hard to believe, the number has escaped my feeble mind, sorry,
