Shipping Ore Processing Concentrators in the UK

Understanding Concentrator Shipments

Concentrators for ore processing are often heavy and oversized. Shipments typically fall into these categories:

• FCL (Full Container Load): Suitable for concentrators fitting within standard container dimensions.
• OOG (Out of Gauge): Used when concentrators exceed standard container dimensions.
• Breakbulk: Reserved for exceptionally large concentrators needing specialized handling.

The appropriate shipment type depends on the concentrator's dimensions and weight.
