CML ramps up warehousing capacity

CML is planning to increase its warehouse space on the Zambian Copperbelt to meet a growing demand for bonded storage space, according to Richard Powell, who is based in Ndola. This will be in addition to the company’s current 1000sqm of bonded warehousing in Ndola and 5000sqm of general warehousing in Kitwe. According to Powell, additional bonded space can be added at relatively short notice. “We have a good relationship with the Zambian Revenue Authority and can have a bond in place within 14 days,” he says. Mining supplies bound for the neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are being stored in bond in Zambia and released when needed. “Cargo can be bonded for up to 12 months,” he says.
