By tradition, grain ships have been loaded using shipping spouts hung from high galleries on the jetty. Thus, the larger or broader the ship's beam, the higher the gallery. With the advent of even larger bulk carriers, it is becoming fashionable to load grain ships using jetty-mounted ship-loaders with loading booms reaching out over the ship's hold. These ship-loaders, when equipped with telescopic vertical discharge spouts, emit less grain dust since grain is discharged deep down in the hold. 1, record 8, English, - loading%20boom

Les bateaux à grain ont traditionnellement été chargés à l'aide de goulottes reliées à des appontements qui surplombent la jetée. Ainsi, plus le bateau est large, plus l'appontement doit être élevé. Avec l'apparition des vraquiers, cargos encore plus larges, on tend de plus en plus à utiliser des chargeurs de bateaux installés sur la jetée et munis d'une flèche de chargement qui s'avance au-dessus de la cale du bateau. Lorsqu'ils sont équipés d'une goulotte verticale télescopique, ces chargeurs de bateaux soulèvent moins de poussière de grain puisqu'ils pénètrent très profondément dans la cale. 1, record 8, French, - fl%C3%A8che%20de%20chargement

Overtime operations will be permissible on Saturday and Sunday nights(from 5. 00 p. to 11. 00 pm). This overtime will be normally worked for the purposes of loading vessels, in preparation for shipping, or for shipping related activities(e. g. inspection of grain or retreatment of grain). The working of overtime for non-shipping purposes during these periods will be kept to a minimum. In circumstances where the loading of a vessel is near completion, the workforce agrees to work beyond 11. 00 pm for a period not exceeding 2 hours to complete the loading of the vessel. In certain emergency situations, such as the turning of grain required for immediate shipment, or the repair of equipment which has broken down, the workforce agrees to work beyond 11. 00 pm until the emergency is rectified. 2, record 9, English, - turning%20of%20grain

L'air de ventilation passe plus facilement près des parois que dans l'axe central de la cellule. Dans cette zone, le grain est en effet plus tassé, plus chargé en poussière fine et la hauteur y est plus importante du fait du "talus naturel". Pour remédier à ce défaut, il faut éliminer la colonne centrale de grain en effectuant un transilage. Le grain peut être remis dans la cellule ou mieux, introduit dans une autre. Si cette solution n'est pas envisageable, il faut adapter des éparpilleurs aux tuyaux de descente afin d'atténuer quelque peu ce défaut. 3, record 9, French, - transilage%20du%20grain
