Description: OLDENDORFF CARRIERS operates one of the world's largest floating coal transshipment terminals, the 'ISKEN', in the Bay of Iskenderun in Turkey. The terminal, which was also conceptually designed by OLDENDORFF CARRIERS, was put into operation in November 2002, together with two hopper self-unloaders (HSUs) and two pusher tugs. Around 3.0 million tons of coal are being discharged by this system each year, mainly from Capesize vessels arriving from Colombia and South Africa. The receiver is the modern 1,300 MW power station at Sugözü nearby, which is operated by Iskenderun Enerji Üretim ve Ticaret A.S. |
