Shipping Partner Visit - ANL
Read what QMag's Head of Supply Chain and Logistics Mark Christmas experienced during our recent trip to Japan, where we visited and overall of 15 customers and partners:
"I was fortunate to have a ship tour in Kobe port, Japan organised by our great shipping partner ANL (CMA CGM). During the tour I witnessed containers that were packed at our Parkhurst facility being offloaded from the CNC Lion after a journey of 4200 nautical miles, or approximately 7700 kilometres. It was great to see the process of offloading and reloading of 400 to 500 containers within 24 hours.
I was reminded of how little room there is between containers when loaded and how bulged containers can impact vessel packing and cause delays while they reposition the bulged container. I also learned that the ships crew can spend up to four months away from family sailing the world. Certainly a group of dedicated people committed to keeping the world moving. I found out that there are no lifts in ships of this type, and to get to the bridge I walked up 8 stories (16 flights of stairs) to see the full ship and ongoing operations. What a sight indeed.
A great experience with lots of learnings."

State of Origin - QLD vs NSW
Ah, the State of Origin—where New South Wales and Queensland go head-to-head in a rivalry fiercer than a kangaroo on caffeine! It's the time of year when families are divided, friendships are put on hold, and everyone suddenly becomes an expert on rugby.
From our Ore to Your Door - Episode 3 - Mine Planning
With the geological models from drilling and sampling, we create the Kunwarara mine plan. This plan identifies the most suitable, quality magnesite available in sufficient quantities to feed the beneficiation plant.
