Leaders in mine to market services.

As part of a firm commitment to innovation, NSS has revolutionised stevedoring in Regional Queensland by integrating its operations with innovative, lightweight container rotator technology (Rotabox^TM).

The Rotabox^TM enables NSS to handle bulk materials in the port using specially designed half-height containers. This allows NSS to provide a full 'Pit-to-Port' solution to their clients.

NSS provide a full 'Pit-to-Port' solution to several Queensland operators including Inova Resources (Osborne Mine) and Sun Metals Limited – transporting copper concentrate and zinc ferrite, respectively.

Rotabox^TM benefits include:

• Simple and safe to operate and maintain
• Designed for use of conventional ships cranes, shore cranes or reach stackers
• Light weight – eight tonne (plus container weight)
• Significant reduction in product loss across both the supply chain and export chain
• Integrated automatic lid lifter – container is sealed from load point to in-the-hold
• Uses conventional half-height container
• Sealed containers eliminate material rehandling
• Free from fugitive dust emissions – environmentally friendly; assists in the achievement of high environmental standards
• No product loss or degradation issues
• Increased flexibility with berth selection – not dependant on a ship loader and conveyer system
• Allows multiple loading points on geared vessels
• 31 tonne payload of ore or concentrate
• Lower operating costs and no wharf shiploader clean-up costs
