Any idea of how long it takes to load this ship?
I know nothing about ships or shipping but if the load time becomes a significant part of the overall transit time, you may be better off with two smaller ships.
I’m guessing they load at multiple stations at the same time given the size - on the carrier we loaded the stations on a side plus two topside but had a hefty crew for this I’m assuming multiple cranes or conveyors likely from both sides with barges & cranes on the seaward side and conveyors and cranes landward.
My question is how many ports are there that can accept her to load as you wouldn’t want to load her in a deep anchorage because then it would be barge and crane only and take forever.
