After the liquid terminal, we headed past the Cargill Feedmill.

This is Interflour, another flour mill. It used to be known as Prestasi flour mill until the recent name change.

We are now sailing in the West Port channel.

This is the Soon Soon soybean extraction plant. Soybean is possessed here to produce soybean meal for the feed industry and crude soybean oil which is mostly exported back. In Western countries, the main product is the oil and by-product is the meal. Ironically, it is the other way round in Malaysia as the main oil for human consumption here is palm oil instead of soy oil.

These are the port’s pilot boats.

These two huge structures are grab unloaders. When a ship docked, the arm will be lowered over the ship’s hold. The grab will moved to over the hold and dropped down, open and grab the bulk cargo usually cereals but can also be raw sugar. It then lifted up and moved back to over the holding hopper which can be then discharged into the the conveyor to be sent to the mills or directly into trucks which will carry the goods to warehouses.

At this point, we reached the farthest point of our journey and we turned back, partly because of the failing lights and partly because we have to make sure we have enough petrol to take us back. I don’t think Kurau can roll us that far.

We waved goodbye to West Port and we started our return journey.
