Product handled through our warehouses include manganese and chrome. It is delivered to the warehouses in bulk and containerized in TEU’s and FEU’s. Presently, around 33 800 metric tonnes of product is containerized per month and transported to the various ports for shipping, either by road or by rail. This is destined for the Far East, Middle East and Europe.

At our warehouses we handle our own cargo, as well as cargo on behalf of our clients. Our four strategic locations are:
We have established working relationships with selected companies to handle forwarding and clearing on behalf of our clients. Both importers and exporters can be assured that forwarding & clearing is handled through highly reputable companies to provide this service efficiently and cost-effectively.
Product is shipped with major international container shipping lines, servicing a wide range of ports. While we mostly take cargo to the Far East, India, Middle East and Europe, we have the flexibility to arrange shipping to any port worldwide. Schedule reliability is a priority to ensure that our shipping service is timely and secure.
Cargo facilitation is only one aspect of our dedication to a full service delivery. We are also committed to act as collateral managers for our customers’ product – this entails taking responsibility for the safety, security and quality aspects of cargo handled.
