Oldendorff Carriers is converting one of its existing kamsarmax bulkers into a transloader at a shipyard in China.

The German shipowner said the 88,266-dwt Tete Oldendorff (built 2006) has already entered Chengxi Shipyard to begin the work.

The process will involve the installation of three generators, three side mounted Liebherr MPG cranes on deck together with hoppers, conveyor belts and unloading booms.
