GENMA Deploys Floating Transhipment System to Guinea

The system streamlines operations by allowing barges to load at the pier and meet larger ships in deeper water. It utilizes a configuration of two deck cranes, two large hoppers, a belt conveyor, and a ship loader to bridge the distance between vessels. The cranes feature stepless speed control for millimeter-level placement, while the box-type boom minimizes sway during heavy sea conditions. To combat the corrosive marine environment, GENMA applied multi-layer anti-corrosion coatings and sealed critical components, ensuring the equipment remains stable and operational despite constant wave movement.

Maintenance and operational continuity remain a primary focus for the deployment. The system features self-lubricating joints and integrated hydraulic power units to reduce potential leak points. GENMA supports this infrastructure through existing service centers in Morocco and Kenya, with a Boffa-based warehouse scheduled to open mid-year. With full integrated testing complete, the hardware is now moving to West Africa to facilitate consistent, high-volume bulk cargo transfers.
