Bruks Siwertell wins contract for port of Luzon

Bruks Siwertell has won a continuous screw-type ship unloader contract to support the malt and grain handling operations at the port of Luzon, a major grain handler in the Philippines.

The Siwertell ST 640 M-type ship unloader will offer a continuous rated capacity of 800t/h and will be delivered fully assembled to the port via heavy-lift ship in Q3 2025.

“We have a number of Siwertell systems serving various dry bulk handling operations in the region, and our ship unloaders are especially well known for the unique advantages that they offer to grain handlers,” says Ola Jeppsson, Sales Manager, Bruks Siwertell.

“We are delighted to continue serving the grain handling sector, and with several new terminals planned in the Philippines, we are hopeful that many more operators will benefit from the unique capabilities of our ship unloading equipment,” he adds.

The new installation has been designed with the region’s climate in mind. “This is a climatically challenging environment,” Jeppsson explains. “Port equipment in the area has to be robust enough to withstand seasonal typhoons and earthquakes. Furthermore, this new ship unloader will be installed on a particularly exposed jetty, and will be able to discharge vessels from both sides.”
