17,556 DWT log carrier M/V "RED SEA SPIRIT" belonging to Belden Shipping of Singapore was converted into a mechanical/pneumatic self-loading/unloading cement carrier in 1998 with a total unloading capacity of 300 tons per hour.

A Multinational Cooperation

Gemak Shipyard of Turkey has completed the whole conversion. The cement handling equipment was supplied by BMH Marine of Sweden and the design was provided by Shiptech Pte.Ltd. of Singapore.
