NORDEN has signed its first port logistics project in Australia with existing dry cargo freight customer, the Australian developer and operator of iron ore mining projects, Kimberley Metals Group (KMG), further expanding the partnership.
With the new project – situated in the port of Wyndham in Western Australia – NORDEN will provide additional assets for the existing transhipment operation, loading iron ore from the port onto barges and on to the ocean-going vessels.
“We are excited to continue the growth of NORDEN’s logistics activities by entering into an agreement with KMG, taking our existing partnership to a new level by combining our freight services with our expertise within logistics to optimise KMG’s entire port-to-port supply chain,” says Anne Jensen, COO at NORDEN.
The contract also entails a fixed-term charter arrangement with an option to extend. The first barge is expected to launch in July this year.
Further expanding NORDEN’s integrated customer solutions in a new region
With this entry point in the Australian logistics market, NORDEN continues to identify and evaluate opportunities to further grow its integrated logistics and freight solutions among new and existing customers in Australia.
“The new agreement is a natural next step on NORDEN’s strategic journey within logistics, servicing customers on a deeper level and becoming even more relevant to them, continuously using the strong synergies across NORDEN’s integrated freight solutions,” Anne Jensen concludes.
