A slow unloading process? Yep, kind of like watching grass grow..... lol There sure were a lot of Conveyer Systems moving the material from Point A to Point B. Your guess about it being some sort of Aggregate being unloaded from the Algoma Verity, sounds good. As for the material from the Parity needing to go into an enclosed building and the dust showing from it, I'm guessing 'Salt'? Your excellent drone views sure do capture the whole operation nicely. It's interesting to see the diversity of cargo coming into your port. Thank you for your time and effort and sharing.
The material going into the builfpding was probably going into a device called a stacker reclaimer. These devices create long triangular cross section piles by laying thr material down in long strips. These are the taken out ar 99 degrees to how they were layeddoen.
I could be wrong but pretty sure that is urea it’s a type of fertilizer….the fertilizer company I work for gets it there and stores it there….it’s usually stored in one of the warehouse there at the port but sometimes they run out of room and have to unload on the ground and cover it with a tarp
Nice video captain ANDY. As to what the material might be I would think just a call to the company and ask them what the product being unloaded might be. If you know the name of the company they might even have a website.
Seeing the crane bucket, numerous material bins and multiple ramps reminds me of a giant game of mousetrap! PS - thanks for an interesting video! PS2 - do any of the viewers know what material is being delivering from bulk carrier?

Thanks for your comments and appreciate your time watching! MM
Great Drone Video.Thanks Captain Andy.
Glad you enjoyed it! MM
Thanks captain Andy
Very welcome! MM
All I can think of is maybe gypsum? The storage areas look similar to ours here in Jacksonville Fl. Nice video Andy, thanks!
Gypsum was transported here in large quantities when Georgia Pacific was producing sheetrock here. MM
Very interesting. Looks like there is some loss of product from the Parity based on the cloud coming off of the transfer to the conveyer.
Great point. The wind seems to carry some of the product away! MM

The Minorcan Navy never lets me down! MM

I really appreciate it when the Minorcan Navy steps up helps all understand what we’re seeing! Carry on!! MM
Interesting stuff Andy. Amazing what those ships can carry.
Yes they are. MM
Interesting to watch, Thank you.
Thank you too! MM
