33,400 tonne Bauxite Shipment Despatched from Bell Bay Port, Tasmania
Sydney, Aug 20, 2020 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Australian Bauxite Limited (
ASX:ABX) has completed the shipment of its most recent sale of 33,405 tonnes of cement grade bauxite from its Bald Hill bauxite mine near Campbell Town northern Tasmania.
Ship loading at Bell Bay port commenced at 1100 hrs 17th August and completed at 2100 hrs 19th August. The ship departed at 2300 hrs last night. Port operations were completed on schedule.
ABx acknowledges the professionalism and teamwork of QUBE Ports stevedore services, Monson Shipping agents, Briar Maritime ship surveys and TasPorts that made it happen.
ABx has remained focussed during the COVID-19 pandemic and secured sales contracts for fertilisergrade bauxite and cement-grade bauxite that totalled more than $2.5 million.
Mine production by Hazell Bros contractors and transporting to Bell Bay port by Dave Wagner & Son Pty Ltd was completed within budget before the recent cold spell in Tasmania and benefited from low fuel prices. The customer was also able to take advantage of shipping opportunities. The coordinated strategy has worked well for all concerned. ABx has long-standing relationships with experienced contractors that meet the strict specification targets and community expectations.
