An increase in the number of mega mining projects throughout the world has placed pressure on port operations and inland freight distribution networks. Multi-commodity port handling adaptability and inland accessibility has become a cornerstone in port competitiveness. Portside enables ports to add value and increase profitability via logistics integration. With the emergence of global logistics companies, the mining sector has increasingly gravitated towards integrated services and capabilities strategies (design, build and operate).
Portside sees this shift as an opportunity to increase port market share. Most ports are perfectly placed to provide integrated logistics solutions, given their relationship with both the inland distribution networks and the maritime industry.
As a company, Portside works with the ports and with mining companies to identify and implement efficient and cost effective pit to port solutions.
