Railcars enter the Rotary Car Dumper to unload sulphur onto conveyor belts.
About 100 ships visit us each year to load sulphur for international destinations.
Our terminal is interlaced with conveyors that move sulphur from train to storage or directly to waiting ships.
The shiploader pours sulphur from conveyor belts directly into a ship's hold.
Sulphur is shipped in one of four shaped varieties, according to customer preference.
Most of our sulphur is destined for Asia, where it is used for fertilizer production.
Moving sulphur to and from storage is the job of the automated Stakrake.
