At the discharge port the vessel will most probably berth on a rising tide, and it may be crucial to discharge a quantity of cargo to lighten the vessel before low water to prevent grounding. This is especially true when discharging to a shore facility with a limited takeaway capacity, as, the shore facility restrictions or any breakdown may not permit the vessel to discharge.
Rapid discharge unit trains delivering coal to a power generation facility were not completely unloading. The coal carry back was significant and costly. The smart solution, with a quick return on investment, were NAVCO Railside Car Shakers. NAVCO Railside Car Shakers are permanently mounted vibration systems designed to speed the loading and unloading of bulk material from railcars. Railside car shakers are effective in loosening material from railcar walls during unloading
Once there, it is released onto the discharge boom, which is slewed to either port or starboard up to 65 metres from the side of the ship, and then is offloaded to the shore, either directly onto a stockpile or into a receiving facility. The Hybrid Selfunloading vessels discharge using a mechanism, mostly cranes.

20/10/2010#0183;#32;Those are called Rapid Discharge Hoppers, they dump through the gates visible on the bottom of the cars. If locomotives are detached at the unloading locations then they will not be going through the dumper. Not many rotary dumpers can accommodate locomotives passing through because of the need for the dumper to clamp down on the car or cars to be unloaded.
