• Resumen

  • Mining companies have been given several solutions to reduce transport costs, including no need for tugs, which reduces onshore infrastructure, and keeping vessel sizes in a range of 22,000-60,000 dwt that would mean project development is faster, easier and cheaper.The reduction of transport costs for the mineral sector through the use of high-capacity marine cargo-handling solutions was a key topic of this year’s annual Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention, held in Toronto in March. The newest generation of TSVs reduce the operational costs for miners by limiting capital expenditures on shoreside infrastructure, and on the maintenance dredging of harbors to accommodate deep-draft vessels. The firm emphasizes that it can support mining companies from the pre-feasibility study phase of projects throughout the life of a mine.In the initial stage, CSL will conceptualize solutions to transhipping for a customer, providing a detailed analysis of productivity, throughput, lead time, risk and cost.
