There are several ways to empty a coal bulker or any Bulk Carrier.
The most elegant is the self unloader, it has (efectively) a hatch on the bottom of each compartment and when the hatch is opened a belt underneath carries the product, coal in the example, out of the ship onto the reciving system.
The next way is by special excavator, Just like an earth mover but specially designed to work on Bulk ships, it digs the coal out.
