We are delighted to announce the delivery of the first two HarbourPilot Fixed Units to Western Australia for the Mineral Resources Onslow Iron Project (formerly known as the Ashburton project).
The Ashburton Project is set to unlock stranded deposits in the West Pilbara region of Western Australia, using Mineral Resources' innovative and proprietary equipment designed to process and move bulk commodities at lower costs and with a reduced environmental footprint.
Our fixed units will provide high accuracy heading and RTK position for navigational assistance during the transhipment of iron from the transhipper to the Capesize bulk carriers anchored 22 nautical miles (40 kilometres) off the Pilbara coast.
Transhippers are a critical component of Mineral Resources' dust-free mine-to-ship transport solution, as they will be fully enclosed to prevent dust pollution in Onslow from the company's operations.
Two of our engineers, Kevin and Dom, spent a week in Onslow installing and commissioning the HarbourPilot Units on the transhippers.
This project, which commenced last year for us, has been completed in a fantastic timeframe, enabling us to deliver a reliable solution that exceeds our customer's expectations. We thank Mineral Resources for choosing our cutting-edge technology for this significant and extraordinary project.
