The Logistics Department manages the Phu Bia Mining’s employee transport, concentrate haulage and in-bound freight and consumables activities in Laos, Vietnam and Thailand.
The operations
Within Laos, PBM operates its own fleet of prime movers and trailers for in-country haulage. Approved 3PL partners are engaged to provide haulage support in both Thailand and Vietnam. Concentrate is transported from our Phu Kham Copper-Gold Operation through to the Sriracha port in Thailand, with General Freight, commodities and Dangerous Goods then backloaded on the trucks for delivery to Laos. This also includes concentrate warehousing and shipment management at the port facility in Sriracha. PBM Logistics prides itself on exceptional product stewardship including the safe storage and transport of concentrate from gate to port through to the delivery of product from pit to port that meets customer specifications and in-country requirements.
Ban Thouay, a strategically located logistic centre located 124 kilometres from the Phu Kham Operation, facilitates the transfer of goods between contractor-operated trucks and company-operated trucks.
The Logistics team operate a warehouse within a Freezone located near the Laem Chabang port in Thailand. All inbound international freight and Thailand domestic freight is consolidated at the warehouse before being dispatched by road to PBM operations in Laos.
