Pit to Ship Solutions, part of the Intermodal Solutions Group, débutsat WAMPEX this year, showcasing its innovative containerised bulk handling systemat the West African Mining and Power Expo. WAMPEX takes place at Accra Convention Centre, Ghana, from 28 to 30 May 2014.

The company designed specialised dust-free containers to transport commodity products directly from mining sites to bulk ships’ storage hulls. Stand-out features include a 40-ton payload, compared to 32 tons for most bulk mining containers, a patented water and dust proof lid lifter design, and the ability to deliver product dust free. The containers can also be used as storage sheds.

“We completed a major project for Exxaro in 2012 to move iron ore out of Point Noire, Republic of Congo, involving 1 350 of these specialised containers,” says ISG’s Chief Financial Officer Julie Boden.“The containers were delivered six weeks ahead of schedule and the client was very happy with our service. Other similar projects like transporting copper concentrate for OZ Minerals has made us a benchmark in the industry,” adds Boden.

“We believe WAMPEX will introduce us to the very different demographic that is West Africa. We are very eager to gain greater market exposure for our containerised bulk handling system in the region; we want potential users to understand the massive productivity and financial benefits offered by our container system.”
