⚙️ Materials Commonly Handled by RRCGs

RRCGs are versatile and handle a variety of bulk materials, including:

  • Coal
  • Iron ore
  • Limestone
  • Bauxite
  • Fertilizers
  • Cement clinker
  • Salt
  • Pet coke
  • Agricultural commodities

🚀 Efficiency and Operational Advantages

RRCGs offer several benefits that enhance port operations:

Continuous Operation: Designed for 24/7 usage without the need for external power sources.

  • Battery Efficiency: Operates on 24V DC power from two 12V batteries, with a single charge lasting approximately 7–8 days.
  • High Throughput: Capable of handling large volumes efficiently, reducing vessel turnaround time.
  • Safety: Wireless operation minimizes the need for personnel in hazardous zones.
  • Adaptability: Suitable for various materials and vessel types, enhancing operational flexibility.

📈 Growth in Bulk Material Handling

Indian ports have seen a significant increase in bulk cargo handling:

  • In May 2024, major Indian ports handled 72.04 million tonnes of cargo, marking a 3.75% year-on-year increase. (Data Source: Metalogic)

The adoption of RRCGs has contributed to this growth by improving handling efficiency and reducing operational delays.
