PORT CRANES – OFFICE TOGOLAIS DES PHOSPHATES(PHOSPHATE MINE OFFSHORE) – TOGO
The phosphate mine belonging to the “Office Togolais des Phosphates” has 2 offshore cranes at 1.6 km in the sea. These cranes are linked to the inland stock department by means of a conveyor. These cranes are very mobile and weigh 325 tons each. The OFFICE TOGOLAIS DES PHOSPHATES produces 3,300,000 tons of phosphates per year. An average of 5 ships per month are being charged at this offshore port.
These two cranes and the conveyors were heavily corroded, and it had been decided that they had to be protected by an anti-corrosion system providing cathodic protection: ZINGA was chosen.
