Beira dry port helps reduce costs

The logistics costs of
exporting bulk and bagged
minerals from Zimbabwe
through Beira have been
reduced by the pooling of
resources within the J&J
Africa group.
Independent Beira
Logistics Terminals
(IBLT) is working with
the J&J trucking arms
in Zimbabwe and
Mozambique to provide
cost-competitive and
reliable transport,
storage and shipping
services from the mine
to the quayside
in Beira, says
Aleksandrs
Kucerovs,
general
manager of
IBLT.
The
result has
been an
increase
in the
volume of
bulk exports and imports
handled by the dry port,
which has all the equipment
required to stuff or strip
containers with bulk bags
on site.
IBLT also handles the
movement of bulk bags
to and from the port,
as well the loading
and offloading of
trucks in a secure,
bonded area.
