Investment in modernization of Dien Cong port

On March 8, at Dien Cong Port (Da Bac Logistics Company), tons of coal were poured directly onto the ship by the MR1 (mobile) coal filling machine system. This is the first modern coal filling system put into operation at the Company. The MR1 coal filling machine system was invested by Da Bac Logistics Company with more than 19 billion VND (under the Dien Cong port technology line renovation project).

Accordingly, the scale of the automatic controllable filling machine system moves on 2 tracks with a journey of 130m, reaching out to the port by 12m, lifting the pouring head 8m high. The advantage of this filling machine system is quite flexible, instead of every time when pouring coal, the vehicle has to move up and down continuously as before, now it only needs to dock at a suitable fixed position, the pouring machine system will move along the track to pour coal down. The coal filling machine moves continuously and flexibly, thus shortening the coal filling time from 15-30 minutes/vessel (compared to the fixed pouring chute), ensuring safety, and quick release of vehicles docking at the port of entry.

The Dien Cong port technology line renovation project has a total investment of more than 92.7 billion VND, implemented from June 2020 until now, and has basically completed important items. Along with the MR1 coal filling machine system, the Company also invested in a coal conveyor system from the coal warehouse to the wharf; misting system for dust suppression; power supply; communications, surveillance cameras; renovating the wharf area from 1,000DWT to 2,000DWT to arrange equipment along the port. Up to now, the construction items have been invested synchronously to help the Company rationalize the technology chain and improve the port's operational productivity. At the same time, saving production costs, minimizing coal loss, protecting the environment, meeting the needs of coal delivery for customers.
