> Unloading at the Quay

The Arco Dee is tied up to the Wharf and is in the process of unloading.
The Bridge is at the bows. A mobile gantry runs along the length of the ship and contains a jawed scoop to lift material from the hold and a hopper which moves within the gantry to collect the material from the scoop. The material is then discharged from the ship, at the stern, via a conveyor belt.
