Mines are the starting point of the commodities’ supply chain. LD Ports & Logistics have developed and implemented specific mining logistics and transshipment solutions adapted to the Mining industry. LD Ports & Logistics’ focus is to design, build and operate efficient and innovative technical answers to cope with today’s mining logistics issues; these solutions will help unlock value and make brownfield and greenfield projects both operationally feasible and economically viable.

Such solutions are based on our extensive mining logistics skills acquired over years of experience in complex areas of operation such as Indonesia, India or Colombia.  Our integration of design, building and operations capabilities gives us the ability to customize logistics solutions to each individual operation; for example, barging might require shallow draft barges or self-propelled barges to accommodate river bends etc. This unique ability to manage integrated maritime mining logistics projects - from design to execution of operations on the field – allows us to create highly customized maritime solutions for the mining groups we operate with.

Our involvement in designing and delivering operations  gives us the confidence to approach mining companies as long-term partners. We believe in the reliability and economic efficiency of our solutions and are able to co-invest with our clients in the solutions we develop. This partnership approach aligns incentives between User and Operator and ensures promises are delivered.

We have become experts of “mine to ship” logistics operations. We have developed highly reliable services in transshipment and barging aiming at enabling exporters to continue developing their mining activity without having to make costly infrastructure investments. Depending on the maturity and operational constraints, as well as the volumes produced, these mining logistics solutions include a range of floating transshipment units such as: high-capacity floating cranes, transhippers and effective barging solutions such as 12,000 to 15,000 DWT large capacity tugs and barges or self-propelled barges with high-fuel efficiency.
