Integrated
Logistics Solutions
End-to-end bulk handling services designed for the unique challenges of West Africa's mining sector.
Offshore
Transshipment
In West Africa, particularly Sierra Leone and Guinea, shallow coastal waters often prevent large Capesize vessels from docking directly at ports. SBH bridges this gap with specialized offshore transshipment solutions.
Our fleet of tugs and barges transports bulk commodities from river terminals to deep-water anchorages, where floating cranes load ocean-going vessels (OGVs) with precision and speed.
Iron Ore Focus
Facilitating exports from major sites like Pepel and Freetown, handling millions of tonnes annually.
Bauxite Expertise
Supporting Guinea's bauxite boom with efficient river-to-ocean logistics solutions.
Stockpiling &
Logistics
Efficient export operations require reliable buffer storage to mitigate supply chain fluctuations. SBH manages large-scale stockpiling facilities that ensure a continuous flow of cargo to export vessels.
We operate stackers, reclaimers, and conveyor systems to optimize yard management, ensuring rapid vessel turnaround times and minimizing demurrage costs.
