Building mining gateways
The mining industry relies on BBC Chartering’s fleet portfolio for its break-bulk, heavy-lift and project cargo capabilities as it provides shippers and charterers with flexible tonnage, high lifting capacity and regular connections to destinations that are designated mining gateways, or just starting to develop as such.
BBC Chartering helps to ship:
- Bulk minerals
- Mining equipment needed for the exploitation, expansion and maintenance of mines
- Other cargo relating to materials handling, port infrastructure and hinterland infrastructure; such as conveyor technique, harbour cranes, railroad equipment and trucks
Cargo handling for international mining projects
In resource-rich Australia, BBC Chartering’s services have been used for most major mining developments or upgrades in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia in recent years. The ports of Dampier and particularly Port Hedland have been our gateway, especially for iron ore developments in the region.
