摘要

Metso and industrial service provider Ferrostaal Industrieanlagen GmbH, Germany, reported receipt of a joint contract to build a railcar dumper facility for iron ore producer Societe Nationale Industrielle et Miniere (SNIM) at the harbor of Nouadhibou, Mauritania. The contract's value was not disclosed. SNIM's director said, "SNIM's ambitious strategy is to boost our annual iron ore production capacity up to 40 million tons in 2025 through the start-up of a new iron ore plant in mid-2014. As a consequence, we need more loading capacity and facilities in the harbor of Nouadhibou for loading the iron ore onto ships."
