How do you empty a bulk ship of coal?
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.
Is fuel consumption for bulk carriers same as for container ships?
Fuel consumption is dependant on the power required to operate the ship. This is a function of the vessels design speed and resistance or drag. A container vessel travels at much higher speeds than a bulk carrier and since an increase in speed will lead to a cubed increase in fuel consumption, it takes a lot more fuel to travel at this higher speed. However, the drag of a bulk carrier is much higher than that of a container vessel of the same dimensions since the container vessel has much finer lines under water. Basically, if the two vessels are travelling at the same speed then the container vessel will consume less fuel but since containers vessels are suppposed to travel at twice the speed of a bulk carrier. the bulk carrier in practice consumes less fuel providing the two ships are the same size,
