As a jointventure
logistics
management
service, Nucleus
Mining Logistics and Cargo
2 Congo intend to launch
a consolidation service
between their warehouse
in Olifantsfontein and the
Democratic Republic of
Congo (DRC) towards the
end of July.
“This joint venture,”
Nucleus MD Iain Clark told
FTW, “involves Nucleus
Mining
Logistics,
Cargo 2
Congo,
a major
transport
operator to
and from
the DRC and
Zambia, along
with our
DRC partner
Comexas
Afrique, a
key player in logistics and
customs clearing in the DRC.
“This consol service is
something we have been
planning for some time,”
Clark added. “But it was
when Comexas opened a
new bonded facility in
Lubumbashi, the mining
capital of the DRC,
that it became a truly
advantageous service to
offer the market.”
All three companies
have been operating into
and within the DRC
for many years,
he said. “But combining our
different areas of expertise
we can now put together a
seamless solution.
“The advantage for the
shippers and consignees is a
reliable, fast-transit
consol service
where they also
benefit from the
fact that the
cost is based
only on what
capacity they
utilise,” Clark
added.
