Head of Media Relations and Communications, Mr. Osman Lahai said that this new floating crane is an addition to the ‘Pride of Marampa’, the existing Floating Offshore Transhipment Platform. This means that the crane will augment London Mining barging fleet and increase the capacity to deliver the annual target of over 5 million metric tonnes of iron ore concentrate.
