Yes, **the vessel with IMO 9406037 (currently named *NEW BORN*) can unload directly to trucks on the ground**, assuming the port infrastructure supports it.

### Here's why:

---

### ✅ 1. **It is a geared bulk carrier**

* The vessel is equipped with:

* **4 deck cranes** (each with \~30-ton lifting capacity)
* **3 grabs (clamshell buckets), each 10 m³**

That means it **does not need shore-based cranes** to handle cargo, making it self-sufficient for loading/unloading bulk cargo such as:

* Grain
* Coal
* Fertilizer
* Cement
* Scrap
* Other dry bulk

---

### ✅ 2. **Unloading to trucks is a common operation**

When such ships are berthed at ports **without hoppers or conveyors**, the typical unloading process is:

> **Crane grabs cargo → swings over quay → drops into a hopper or directly into truck beds**

* If there’s **no hopper**, the crane operator can **drop directly into tipper trucks**.
* Sometimes temporary **mobile hoppers** are used to help reduce dust and improve accuracy when feeding trucks or conveyors.

---

### 🧱 Requirements at the Port:

To unload directly to trucks, the port must provide:

* **Flat and reinforced quay** to handle truck traffic
* Adequate **maneuvering space** for trucks near the ship
* **Dust control** systems if handling fine material
* Possibly **mobile hoppers** (optional but helpful)

---

### 🚫 Limitations or Considerations:

* **Not ideal for all types of cargo**: fine powders or hazardous materials may require enclosed systems
* **Weather**: operations can be disrupted by rain/wind if not protected
* **Slower than using dedicated port equipment** for large volumes

---

### ✅ Bottom Line:

Yes, this vessel is **designed to operate in ports without advanced infrastructure**, and **can unload directly to trucks** via its onboard cranes and grabs — a standard practice in many bulk terminals and developing ports.
