It runs multimodal movement—port operations, rail, and road—to connect mines to ports and smelters with services like loading, unloading, storage, and handling. Its joint venture between Trafigura and IFM Investors combines commodity-trade logistics with infrastructure investment, giving it owned assets and an integrated network. Its goal is to enable reliable, safe, and efficient global trade in base metals through an end-to-end, multimodal supply chain.
