Project Description

The Government of Malaysia is funding a new bulk port and industrial park, which caters to energy intensive industries.� The Port of Samalaju will serve a number of energy intensive facilities being attracted to the Samalaju Industrial Park, a new complex being developed adjacent to the port.� These facilities are predominately associated with the high grade metals and chemicals industries, including aluminum, high-strength steel, plastics/vinyl, etc.

The initial development of the port is primarily a four (4) berth jetty for Handymax size vessels. The berths are arranged in-line, along the roughly 0.90 kilometer jetty.� To handle the assortment of dramatically different commodities, five (5) import conveyor systems and one (1) export conveyor system are being executed.� The conveyor belt system includes multiple stackers and portal scraper reclaims to stockpile commodities; a high capacity, four (4) station, truck loading terminal; and a conveyor system interchange facility to the planned Samalaju Industrial Port conveyor distribution system.�

Energy Associates evaluated the dry bulk commodities projections and the port�s requirements to conceive the concept for the belt conveyor system.� A multitude of proprietary equipment, design options, features, etc. were evaluated in a series of twenty plus (20+) project reports including the design basis, cost estimates, and power requirements.� The system features multiple flow paths for each subsystem, system redundancy, and different technologies to suite each commodity. Shown below is a view of one berth illustrating the interface of a shiploader and a ship unloader with the conveyor belt system at berth No. 3.� The conveyors on the jetty are arranged in a compact arrangement for the 0.9 kilometer long jetty.� Energy Associates prepared the technical tender specification, tender data sheets, and bid drawings for KTA to adapt to the tender documents.
