Another Batch of GENMA Transshipment System & Intelligent Offshore Transshipment Cranes Shipped to Africa

On 28 May, a complete GENMA offshore bulk transhipment system and two 100-tonne intelligent offshore transhipment cranes were secured aboard a semi-submersible vessel on the Yangtze River in Shanghai and cast off for West Africa. The equipment will head straight to the front line of Africa’s mineral exports, serving as an efficient, reliable “floating terminal” that solves the logistical challenge of loading deep-water vessels unable to access shallow ports.

The transhipment system – comprising deck cranes, hoppers, a belt conveyor and a ship loader – enables non-stop transfer of ore from small barges to ocean-going vessels in deep water, sharply improving loading efficiency. The two offshore transhipment cranes shipped alongside will further boost quayside handling flexibility and coverage. All three units have completed no-load commissioning and will move directly to load testing upon arrival in Africa.

Built for harsh offshore conditions with high salt spray and heavy seas, the equipment features anti-corrosion protection and a low-centre-of-gravity, high-stability design for safe, efficient operation in challenging sea states. On the service side, GENMA already operates service points and spare parts warehouses in Tangier, Morocco, and Mombasa, Kenya, with another warehouse in Boffa, Guinea, due to open this year – ensuring local support is always within reach.

GENMA remains committed to delivering efficient, reliable material handling solutions worldwide. This shipment will further enhance mining logistics performance across the region.
