Port and
Maritime Logistics
In maritime and port logistics, effective process management is essential for ensuring smooth transport operations and minimizing costs. Companies must monitor the flow of goods and operational performance in ports to optimize loading times and reduce delays.
Our weighing systems support this sector by enabling precise monitoring of goods during loading, transport, and unloading. This improves operational efficiency, helps control costs, and ensures compliance with industry standards.
Common industrial scales used in maritime and port logistics:
› Truck scales – used to weigh trucks transporting containers and bulk goods such as coal, metal ores, grains, or chemicals. They enable precise load control and ensure compliance with international transport regulations.
› Rail scales – used in transshipment terminals to weigh wagons carrying goods to and from ports. They allow both static and dynamic train weighing, supporting efficient rail logistics management.
› Belt conveyor scales – used to monitor the flow of bulk materials transported to and from ships. Commonly applied in terminals handling raw materials such as grain, coal, metal ores, or fertilizers.
› Container scales – specialized weighing systems for accurately determining container mass before loading onto a vessel. They comply with SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) requirements, which mandate container weighing before maritime transport.
› Crane and hook scales – enable the weighing of heavy loads during cargo handling operations. Used in ports and terminals to monitor the weight of loads lifted by cranes and gantries.
Examples of Applications
› Container weight control in compliance with SOLAS regulations – precise weighing of cargo before loading onto a ship.
› Monitoring port handling operations – weighing bulk materials such as coal, grain, fertilizers, and chemicals.
› Optimization of truck and rail transport – mass control of vehicles transporting goods to and from ports.
› Automation of logistics processes – integration of weighing systems with traffic management systems in port terminals.
› Mass control of raw materials transported by conveyors – monitoring material flow in bulk terminals.
› Safe transport of oversized cargo – weighing heavy structural components and machinery before loading onto vessels.
