Flying Fish Cove, Christmas Island: the phosphate industry on Christmas Island utilizes a cantilever loading system at the Flying Fish Cove wharf to export phosphate rock, a critical component of the island’s mining operations managed by Phosphate Resources Limited (PRL), operating as Christmas Island Phosphates (CIP) since 1990. This system involves two cantilever arms, each equipped with telescopic chutes and dust suppression systems, capable of loading 600 tonnes of phosphate rock per hour into ship holds. Phosphate rock and dust are transported from mining sites via a conveyor belt and covered air slide system to a bulk storage area at the wharf, approximately three kilometers away, where dust is bagged and palletized, and rock is loaded directly using the cantilever arms. This efficient loading mechanism supports the export of approximately 700,000 tonnes of phosphate annually to markets in Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, though the industry’s future is uncertain as mining leases are set to expire in 2034.

Ventimiglia (Italian pronunciation: [ventiˈmiʎʎa]; Ligurian: (Intemelio) Ventimiglia [veŋteˈmiʎa], (Genoese) Vintimiggia; French: Vintimille [vɛ̃tiˈmij]; Occitan: Ventemilha [venteˈmiʎɔ]) is a city, comune (municipality) and bishopric in Liguria, northern Italy, in the province of Imperia. It is located 130 km (81 mi) southwest of Genoa, and 7 km (4.3 mi) from the French-Italian border, on the Gulf of Genoa, having a small harbor at the mouth of the Roia River, which divides the town into two parts. Ventimiglia's urban area has a population of 55,000.

Flying Fish Cove, Christmas Island: large large steel cantilever loading systems were constructed to facilitate the export of phosphate, the island’s principal resource. These structures extend from the shore over deep water, allowing bulk carriers to be directly loaded from conveyor belts transporting phosphate from inland stockpiles. The cantilevers are a key element of the island’s mining infrastructure, reducing reliance on smaller vessels and streamlining shipping operations. The phosphate industry on Christmas Island, has been a cornerstone of the island’s economy since 1899. Low-grade rock phosphate is extracted, primarily for export as fertilizer to Southeast Asian markets, with over 16 million tonnes shipped since operations began. Employing approximately 300 full-time workers, the industry contributes around $30 million annually to the local economy, representing 40% of the island’s labor force. However, with mining leases set to expire in 2034 and a 2018 federal rejection of expansion plans due to environmental concerns, particularly regarding the island’s unique biodiversity and red crab population, the industry faces an uncertain future.
