To meet the needs of companies dealing in mining and transporting minerals, Wilhelmsen Ships Service set up a specialist Minerals Team comprised of individuals from different parts of the organisation with knowledge and expertise in specific aspects of bulk transport.

“It helps our customers to bring together specialist knowledge from different parts of the world,” explains John Sim, Sales Director of Asia Pacific and head of the Minerals Market Segment. “We have hand-picked a specialist team with specific knowledge and capabilities located in most of the major ore locations in the world. We can bring them together when needed to meet ore importers. It is invaluable for our customers to have the opportunity to get first-hand knowledge of the challenges they will face.”

“All this would be pointless if it did not add value to our customers operations,” said John. “By pooling information about the best shippers, brokers and traders, we can ensure that we give the best advice to our customers. We can streamline the process, speed up delivery and help avoid the pitfalls that can cause expensive delays.”

In addition to offering advice from the minerals specialists, Wilhelmsen Ships Service will be showcasing Ships Agency expertise, specifically for the bulk cargo sector. We also anticipate strong interest in the cargo-hold cleaning offer, especially from coal transporters who frequently change from clean cargoes to dirty cargoes and need to clean the holds quickly and effectively at sea.

Meet us at Coaltrans India 9-10 March, at Renaissance Hotel, Mumbai, Stand no 17.
