The commission
Repair and refit a grain loader for the suction intake of grain after delivery by ship.

- sandblasting of the jib and anti-corrosion treatment of jib and cantilever suspension system
- fitting of new guide rails (2 units) for the trolley system
- inspection and overhaul of the welded joints
- replacement of the hydraulics
- replacement of the winches (3 units) for the trolley movements (raising and lowering) and the auxiliary hoist
- replacement of the steel ropes
- renewal of the entire power feed system
- renewal of ladderways, catwalks and handrails
- reassembly and commissioning.
