DSV moving FCL & BBK cargo for a carbon-in-leach recover project in Guinea

Guinea Mine recovery project

Carbon-in-leach recovery: Precision logistics that restore mining operations in Africa

How DSV delivered time-critical logistics for a major CIL recovery project in Guinea

Precision, speed, and reliability - see how DSV turned a critical mining challenge in Guinea into a seamless recovery through expert project logistics.

After a carbon-in-leach (CIL) tank failure halted operations at a major mining site in Guinea, DSV South Africa was called in to support the urgent repair and recovery effort. This was an emergency situation, as the incident at site impacted the processing and hence production output of the mine. We faced tight deadlines in securing BBK vessels and exploring various options for structural steel to be shipped to Guinea.

The project involved transporting critical steel structures, piping, and mill components from South Africa to Guinea, on tight timelines with no margin for error. Our project logistics experts coordinated every step, ensuring materials were delivered safely and efficiently to help the client restore production as quickly as possible.
