Bellzone Sells Superfluous Ship

Bellzone Mining's joint venture Forecariah has sold a trans-shipping vessel for $8.9m (£5.8m).

An in-depth analysis into the operational efficiency of the Forecariah operations showed that the ship was neither an operational requirement nor a material economic benefit, and thus there was no reason to keep it.

Earlier this year, Bellzone and China International Fund Ltd (CIF) established a 50:50 joint venture (JV) with a commitment to fully fund accelerated exploration, and development of a mine and infrastructure of the Guinea Development Corporation Forécariah iron permits between 30km to 80km from the Guinea coast.

 

With the advent of fuel transition, digitalization, AI and autonomy, innovation in vessel design and operation proceeds at unprecedented speed.
