The logistics contract has involved BWS chartering three dedicated,  multiple-use vessels, along with a fleet of newly-built containers which will be used to ship cargo from Brisbane, Australia and Port Kelang, Malaysia, to supply the customer’s mining operations in Papua New Guinea.

“We value the guidance and personal service that we receive from Dominic and his team, who very much remain our trusted legal advisors for such matters,” he added.
