Corridor
Cargo Agency Engineered
From the mine to market, we provide end-to-end visibility, stockpile control, and strategic logistics planning for bulk commodities.
In the high-volume world of bulk trading, visibility is currency. LBH Africa delivers comprehensive corridor solutions in South Africa and beyond, managing the intricate flow of cargo from the pit to the port.
We go beyond simple transport; we act as your strategic 3PL logistics partner. By combining physical presence at key sidings and terminals with advanced data analytics, we ensure that your delivery schedules align perfectly with vessel arrival times, minimizing storage costs and demurrage risks.
Stockpile Management & Monitoring
We provide physical oversight where it matters most, at the aggregation point.
Inventory Control
Real-time monitoring of stockpile levels at ports and inland terminals to ensure dispatch volumes match what is on the ground.
Reconciliation
Daily tallying and verification to prevent “paper versus physical” discrepancies that lead to commercial disputes.
Quality Protection
Oversight of handling procedures to minimize degradation and contamination of sensitive minerals.
Corridor Management
We specialize in optimizing the flow through Africa’s toughest trade routes.
Maputo Corridor
Is a great example of how we strategically plan for coal, chrome, and magnetite exports through Mozambique.
Route Optimization
Dynamic planning that shifts volume between road and rail based on current border conditions and port congestion.
Bottleneck Removal
Our teams identify constraints – whether at a border post or a tippler – and intervene before they stop the chain.
Data Analytics & “Portable Agent”
Modern logistics requires modern tools. We bring the control room to your pocket.
Portable Agent
Our proprietary technology delivers live stats and vessel updates directly to your device.
Actionable Intelligence
We don’t just report history; we predict future capacity. Our data helps you plan stockpile replenishment to match vessel laycans.
Collateral Management & Risk
For traders and financiers, we provide the assurance needed to secure capital.
Collateral Oversight
Independent verification of stock levels for financing purposes.
Risk Mitigation
Proactive management of security risks, weather delays, and regulatory compliance across cross-border movements.
Why Clients Trust Our System
Mine to Market Visibility
We eliminate blind spots. You see the movement from the moment it leaves the mine gate until the bill of lading is issued.
Boots on the Ground
Unlike digital-only platforms, we have physical staff where we operate who walk the yards and verify the data.
Profit Protection
By synchronizing logistics with shipping schedules, we help reduce dead freight claims and port storage penalties.
FAQs
What is the difference between Logistics and Corridor Management?
Logistics is the movement of goods (e.g. trucks and trains). Corridor Management is the strategy, storage, and planning of that movement to ensure efficiency and profitability.
Do you offer 3PL logistics in South Africa?
Yes. We act as a full 3PL logistics provider, managing transport, warehousing (stockpiling), and clearing on behalf of cargo owners.
How do you track bulk stockpiles?
We use a combination of on-site physical tally clerks and digital reporting tools to monitor ingress and egress at the terminal, ensuring daily, accurate balances.
Can you help with trade finance verification?
Yes. Banks and traders trust our independent reports and stockpile verification services for collateral management purposes.
