Global engineering innovator, Cavotec MSL, is to supply a range of advanced cable reel, control and steel chain technologies to the ThyssenKrupp group for installation on iron ore ship-loaders at Port Hedland in Western Australia.

“This is a wide-ranging and complex order; pulling together our
expertise in cable reels, cabin and console technologies, radio remote
control units and steel chain engineering,” says Cavotec Australia
National Sales Manager, Mike Stoney.

The equipment is set for delivery to China in 2010 for subsequent
installation on four new iron ore ship-loaders at Port Hedland.

The deal includes cable and hose reelers, Brieda operator cabins and
consoles, Cavotec Micro-control radio remote control systems and
Brevetti steel slew chains. The radio remote control units are FieldBus
enabled, allowing for direct interface with the machine control system.

“All these elements will be delivered according to specific customer
requirements – a challenge we are happy to meet,” adds Stoney.

Equipment used at Port Hedland’s iron ore handling facility needs to
withstand the uniquely abrasive and viscous nature of iron ore dust.

The ThyssenKrupp deal follows another major order for Cavotec from Port
Hedland. In April Cavotec announced the largest ever order for its
MoorMaster™ automated mooring technology for Port Hedland Port
Authority. MoorMaster™ moors vessels in seconds, eliminating the need
for conventional mooring lines and tugboats, and dramatically reducing
the risk of serious injury to shore-side personnel and ships’ crews.

Cavotec MSL is a leading global engineering group, supplying innovative
and environmentally friendly systems to the maritime, airports, mining,
and general industry sectors.
