Cement companies or traders
wanting to set up marine
cement terminals have different
options to realise a project.
Terminals with relatively low
throughput and expected short
life-time have to focus on small

capital investments. Terminals
with high throughput and long
lifetime consider larger invest-
ments and focus on keeping
operational and shipping
cost small. As a matter of fact
the technical solution arises

from an evaluation of the
specific handling costs per
tonne of cement.
