Logistics for Mining Projects
Mining moves pieces that rarely fit in a container: mills, hoppers, plant structures and indivisible components weighing tens of tons. Each shipment is planned as an individual project, with a rigging study, verification of destination berth capacity and assessment of the inland route before space is booked.
We also manage the continuous flow of spare parts and consumables that keeps the operation running, with periodic consolidation at our Houston and Port Manatee warehouses.

Specialists in Oil, Gas and Industrial Logistics
Mines are usually far from the port and connected by roads with weight limits, bridge clearances and tight turning radii. We study the inland route before closing the ocean booking, because a piece that reaches the port but cannot travel to the mine generates a cost far greater than the freight itself.
