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."

From our Ore to Your Door - Episode 8 - In Pit Screening
QMAG currently mines 4 million tonnes of ore per year, from six to eight different pits.
We choose pits based on their magnesite content and contaminant concentrations. There are always at least two pits mined simultaneously to provide the Parkhurst plant with enough material at suitable quality to support our full suite of products.
