Mining & Resources
Mining & Resources
Heavy haul, out-of-gauge and remote site logistics.
The Scenario
A Pilbara iron ore producer needs to move 20 tonne crusher liners from Shanghai to Port Hedland. The parts are over-dimensional, the mine is FIFO and equipment downtime costs $1.2M per day.
The Challenge
Mining logistics demands heavy haul capacity, port handling, charter options for urgent parts and absolute reliability. Downtime is measured in millions.
Our Approach
- Break-bulk and flat-rack ocean bookings with on-wharf heavy lift
- Charter air freight for AOG (aircraft-on-ground) and crusher wear parts
- Heavy haul road transport with pilot vehicles and permits
- Mine-site bonded storage and FIFO worker logistics
- Quarterly rate reviews and capacity lock-in with carriers
