The Block Shipping system is the method used to plan and co-ordinate the weekly movement of grain from prairie elevators to export terminals and to mills and maltsters within Western Canada. The main objective of the system is to support Canada's grain marketing program by ensuring that the right kinds of grain, in the required quantities, are moved into forward positions as efficiently as possible. In achieving this objective, the Wheat Board also must ensure that all farmers in Western Canada are given equitable delivery opportunities. 1, record 2, English, - movement%20of%20grain

Le régime de zonage du transport est la méthode employée pour planifier et coordonner le transport du grain hebdomadaire des silos des Prairies vers les silos d'où le grain est exporté et vers les minoteries et les materies de l'Ouest canadien. Le but premier du régime est de servir de support au programme canadien de commercialisation du grain en assurant l'acheminement aussi rapide et efficace que possible des classes de grain voulues et dans les quantités demandées. Tout en poursuivant cet objectif, la Commission canadienne du blé doit aussi voir à répartir équitablement les chances de livraison entre les exploitants agricoles de l'Ouest du Canada. 1, record 2, French, - transport%20du%20grain

However simple its beginnings, each transaction results in a formal legal document of several pages in length.(...) There are five key terms in every grain transaction : quantity, quality, shipping period, price and port(s) of loading or discharge. These are almost always agreed on before any written documents are prepared. 1, record 7, English, - shipping%20period

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

They may receive grain directly from farms or farm storages but also from distant collecting silos. They distribute locally as do distributing silos.

For purposes of grain transportation, the railway network in the grain growing area of Western Canada is divided into 49 segments. Each is known as a shipping block. There are 27 blocks on Canadian national, 20 on CP Rail, and two on Northern Alberta Railways. A block is a grouping of railway train runs established so that a railway can, within a block, provide flexible train service from week to week to the various branchlines. There may be two shipping blocks on one geographical area, one for CP Rail and one for Canadian national. 1, record 15, English, - shipping%20block

The Lake Shippers’ Clearance Association is a non-incorporated mutual association that operates as a clearance house for grain documents, somewhat on the principle of a bank clearing house. It was established in 1909 to co-ordinate shipping at Thunder Bay and direct ships to the various terminals, and its members are many of those companies that are actively involved in shipments of grain out of that port. 3, record 17, English, - Lake%20Shippers%27%20Clearance%20Association

The network of 48 shipping areas or blocks into which the grain producing area of western Canada is divided. Each block represents a train run or railway subdivision or a group of such subdivisions on which are situated a number of shipping points within a fairly homogeneous production area. The shipping blocks are the units within which the Canadian Wheat Board allocates shipping orders among the companies operating elevators within the block. The elevator companies assign the orders to their elevator managers within each block, and this assignment governs the spotting of cars at the elevators for the loading of grain authorized by the shipping orders. 2, record 18, English, - Block%20Shipping%20System

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 19, 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 19, French, - transilage%20du%20grain

When a carload of grain is to be shipped, the batching mechanism on the office control panel is set at the number of hoppers needed to load the car. The system is then set to cycle. First, the butterfly in the annex bin opens and grain is conveyed by the intermediate conveyor to the garner. Grain from the garner flows into the hopper scale filling it to its initial setting; then the garner gate closes. At the same time, the gate of the hopper scale opens, releasing the weighed grain on to the conveyor; this conveyor takes the grain to the shipping leg where it is elevated and loaded into the car.
