13 Mar 2026

Bruks Siwertell has secured an order from Westports Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. for a high-capacity, rail-travelling Siwertell ship unloader. The order represents the first Siwertell unloader installation in Malaysia and establishes an important new reference deployment in Southeast Asia’s port and dry bulk handling sector.

The scope of supply comprises one rail-travelling Siwertell ship unloader, type ST 640-M, engineered to serve up to Panamax-sized vessels. The system will be delivered fully assembled and transported by heavy-lift vessel to its location at Westports in Malaysia. Delivery is scheduled for summer 2027.

Designed for versatility and operational efficiency, the unloader will primarily handle soya bean meal, while also accommodating wheat, maize, soya beans, and raw sugar. Depending on material characteristics, the system offers a rated capacity of 800–1,000 t/h.

Westports selected the Siwertell solution for its combination of high continuous capacity, strong environmental performance, and proven capability to efficiently handle heavily compacted dry bulk materials. The fully enclosed, screw-type unloading technology enables controlled, dust-free operation while delivering high reliability and consistent performance, even under demanding conditions, which also meets Westports’ sustainability impetus.

This order marks an important milestone for Bruks Siwertell, strengthening its presence in Southeast Asia and further expanding the global installed base of Siwertell ship unloading technology.
