How AMECO’s Hybrid Shiploader Slashed Port of Suape Loading Times by 60%

How AMECO’s Custom Shiploader Slashed Port of Suape Loading Times by 60%, Boosting Efficiency and ROI

The Customer’s Problem

Facing growing demand and pressure to streamline sugar exports, the Port of Suape in Northeastern Brazil planned to build a new sugar terminal capable of handling 500,000 tonnes of refined sugar annually. The goal was to attract larger ships and increase the port’s cargo capacity while maintaining flexibility to handle both bulk and bagged sugar and other raw materials in the future.

Suape needed a solution that could scale with their operational needs and deliver reliable performance. The challenge was to ensure that their terminal shiploader could offer maximum flexibility while maintaining high efficiency and safety standards.

The AMECO Solution

To meet the complex demands of the Port of Suape, AMECO engineered a custom hybrid loading arm capable of supporting two descending chutes: a cascade chute and a telescopic pipe. This innovative design allows seamless transitions between handling bulk and bagged sugar, ensuring maximum operational efficiency and adaptability.

AMECO’s ship-loading solutions (TSL product line) are designed to handle massive amounts of bulk material for ships up to 100,000 dwt with:

•Maximum precision and safety through human expertise and sensor-based automation.

•Advanced environmental controls to minimize dust and noise emissions.

•Cost-effective operations supported by a maintenance-friendly design that reduces OPEX.

What set AMECO apart from the competition was our ability to leverage a rich set of real-life operational data to create a solution that met Suape’s current needs and positioned the port for future growth.

“The hybrid shiploader from AMECO revolutionized our operations, significantly reducing loading times and allowing us to meet our targets with ease.”

— Leonardo Cerquinho, Port of Suape
