What is the CCC? The Connected Coil Carrier is a modular roller gutter system developed by us, in partnership, which involves the use of an electric fork-lift truck that can lay down and clear up the recycled plastic gutters. Upon which it is possible to transport steel coils of various sizes in a sustainable way. Watch our short film for a more in-depth explanation:

A list of the benefits and savings offered by the CCC:
- No dunnage (planks and wedges used to secure the cargo) is required for stowing coils and rolls of steel wire. An average vessel once used 1 tree’s worth of wood to secure a cargo.
- Quicker handling when loading and unloading vessels and, as a result, greater capacity in the loading dock and unloading sites.
- Fewer, or no, stevedores or dockers required, i.e. greater safety during loading and unloading which, in turn, leads to lower personnel costs for the client and recipient.
- Less damage during loading, unloading and shipping, i.e. increased customer satisfaction.
- Less damage to the vessels, loading surface and hold
- Increased safety in relation to stowage and stability of the vessels.
- Multifunctionally deployable due to its internal storage system






Safety:
The ingenious design of the CCC means that wooden wedges and planks are a thing of the past, so dockers or stevedores can remain at a safe distance during loading and unloading of cargo. This reduces the risk of personal injury.
In the event of a collision, it has been shown that the coils sustain little or no impact and the entire CCC system, including the coils, remains in place.
Distributing the coils over the CCC in the right way helps the stability and, as a result, the safety of the vessel as a whole.
Sustainability/the Environment:
We make the CCC (gutter) from recycled plastic and avoid using dunnage, saving about 40 hectares of woodland yearly.
Efficiency:
Using the CCC speeds up vessel loading and unloading, benefiting both customer and shipowner. We eliminate the need for personnel to stow cargo with wooden wedges and planks. After unloading, we save time by avoiding the collection and disposal of used materials.
Multifunctionality:
The system can be stored safely, allowing the vessel to load a different product after a voyage carrying coils. This improves the logistic availability of our flee: on the next trip, the hold will be available to carry raw materials or ore, for instance, to the following recipient. After unloading the bulk goods the hold is sprayed down and left clean, free from residue from the previous cargo. Then the shipowner can lay out the CCC system once more. The vessel is again ready to receive a cargo of coil.
