'''Ship Loading Systems''' are also used with [[Ship Unloading Systems]]. Sometimes they are simply called as ship loaders. Ship loaders have specially designed loading spouts that reduce dust and spillage to a minimum. The design is compact and lightweight, and capacities have so far reached up to 3,000 tph for ships up to post-panamax size. | |||
==Typical Principle of Operations== | |||
The vessel is loaded from the involved tanks by the pumps of the tank farm via a calibrated and temperature-compensated measuring system. The measured values are logged automatically through loading computers and manually through tape printers. The loading quantity is pre-selected and loading stops automatically. The hydrocarbon vapours developing during the loading operation can be returned to a vapour recovery system involving the tanks. | |||
