Road mobile ship unloaders offer a flexible way of delivering cement to several harbours
Road mobile ship unloaders were extremely popular in the 1980s, particularly around the Mediterranean as tourism-related construction boomed. The unloaders offered much-needed flexibility in distributing cement. After unloading the vessel, the unloader can leave the berth, allowing other harbour operations to continue without interruption. Today, this flexibility which enables delivery to several harbours, is one of the key advantages when serving the Russian market.
