Welcome to the CSL news page. It's a good place to keep up to date on company news and to read our corporate newsletter, the CSL World Online. CSL's self-unloaders operate with a mix of high-tech and nature's invisible force, gravity. Basically, the cargo falls by gravity onto conveyor belts beneath holds; the flow is controlled by hydraulic gates. The belts bring the cargo toward the stern of the ship where it's transferred to a loop-belt system and lifted toward deck level. Once there, it is released onto the discharge boom via a hopper. The boom is slued to either port or starboard, depending on the customer's receiving facility, and the cargo is off-loaded.
