CALL FOR PAPERS

The recent thrust to privatise ports along India's extensive coastline is a forceful economic reason to focus on the coastal transport of dry bulk commodities like cement, chemicals, minerals, petrochemicals, grains, oilseeds and related products.

The loading and unloading of dry bulk, break bulk and containers for distribution to local and far markets is an exacting task, considering the volumes to be handled and the environmental controls required.

This conference deals with state-of-the-art systems and equipment in port handling and is structured to highlight latest worldwide developments in this area.

The Indian government has recently initiated a major port infrastructure development program, integrating the major ports and using the national waterways, to provide low cost transport distribution systems.

This is an absolute 'must-attend' event for all companies that import/export material overseas, ports and port infrastructure agencies involved in the logistics of ocean transport, port handling and dockside storage.

We invite you to present papers on the following topics; please do not hesitate to add/modify these titles to suit the area of your expertise:

1. Ship unloaders for bulk materials.

2. Grain loading and unloading systems.

3. Dust free ship loading of fine bulk materials.

4. Mobile Cranes: latest trends in design and operation.

5. High capacity belt loaders.

6. Telescopic Loading spouts for ship loaders.

7. Dockside belt conveying systems for loading and unloading bulk cargo.

8. Bulk cargo import and export terminal operations.
