Mining Logistics
Organising the transport of ore, from the extraction site to the loading point.
Supply chain
From the pit to the ship
D Logistics & Port Services organises bulk mineral transport in Guinea: mining logistics, river and coastal transport, barge chartering and port services, for the supply chains of the mining and extractive industries. One chain, from the mine to the ship.
What the network makes available
Thirty-five barges and five cranes available for a shipment. We charter the vessel that suits the volume and the schedule, not the one that needs filling: an unavailable operator is replaced, it does not push back the campaign. The equipment belongs to the network’s operators, and the distinction matters to whoever finances, insures or audits a cargo.
- 35barges
- 8,000 teach
- 280,000 tper rotation
- 5cranes
These figures are the network’s capacity, with every barge mobilised at once. What a campaign actually carries depends on draught, the rainy season and the port’s loading windows: that is the calculation we run before committing to a deadline.
Five trades, one chain
Together they cover the whole journey. Separately, each can be contracted on its own: take the full chain, or just the link you are missing.
Barge Chartering
Mobilising river and coastal capacity from the partner network, to match volume and schedule.
Port Services
Coordinating quayside operations: formalities, berthing windows, loading sequence.
Cargo Handling
Loading, discharging and transferring bulk, with the network’s cranes.
Logistics Coordination
The thread that ties mine, terminal, port and vessel together — and that warns when one link runs late.
The journey of a shipment
Four points, and as many places where a cargo can stop. Holding them together is the work.
Mine
The ore leaves the extraction site. This is where the pace of everything downstream is set.
Terminal
Haulage to the river loading point, and holding when the window is not open.
Port
Berthing, formalities, slots. It is the one point on the route nobody commands alone.
Vessel
Loading on board. Where responsibility passes, according to the Incoterm agreed in the contract.
Our role
To connect mining producers, logistics operators, terminals, ports and international buyers, so as to secure a supply chain that is reliable, competitive and optimised.
