ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for loading bulk material into a ship has a carriage movable alongside the ship, an elongated outrigger tube having an inner end on the carriage and an outer end and provided internally with a longitudinally extending partition subdividing the tube into an upper compartment and a lower compartment, and an elongated tensioning element extending longitudinally above the outrigger tube, connected to the outer end thereof, and supporting the outrigger tube. An endless outrigger conveyor belt has a U-section upper stretch riding in the upper compartment on the partition and a lower stretch riding on an inside wall of the outrigger tube in the lower compartment. The outrigger belt is driven to advance the upper stretch from the inner end to the outer end. A looped endless supply belt deposits bulk material onto the upper stretch of the outrigger belt at the inner end of the outrigger tube. A tubular outlet chute has an upper end pivoted on the outer end of the outrigger tube and a lower end positionable in the ship.
