We’re the experts in Australian coal logistics
Our business has been solving the transport, scheduling, and management challenges of coal producers for over 20 years.
Moving coal since 1999
When industry icon Faith Dempsey founded TransCoal in 1999, the logistic issues faced by many coal producers in Queensland were immense.
- Inefficient coal wash scheduling.
- Overstocked (or empty) stockpiles.
- Poorly planned scheduling.
- Missed berthing opportunities.
- Expensive Demurrage fees.
Right from the start, TransCoal was structured and resourced to solve these problems. With vast industry experience and intelligent planning, we’ve since been saving clients millions of dollars each year getting their coal to the end customer in the right quality, quantity and timeframes.
The Vision – Why does TransCoal exist?
Coal logistics can be done better. Our industry loses an incredible amount of money in wasted demurrage, lost efficiency on rail and port movements and last-minute scrambling to make quality specifications. The industry is predisposed to competition, holding back information and commercial barriers which inhibit the ability for providers to work to make each other successful.
We see it differently
- We know that when we work to enable all supply chain providers, we get transformative results.
- By providing a trusted platform we can discern what we want to collaborate on to get operational efficiency.
- And we are very good at securing information that is important to the enterprise of the clients we represent.
To learn more about the visionary approach behind TransCoal
A business based on efficiency
TransCoal came into being initially as the independent logistic coordinator for a group of Queensland coal mines with shared road and rail infrastructure. This immediately increased the throughput of that facility without any additional capital requirement.
TransCoal’s value-added services soon expanded to cover all aspects of the coal supply chain, from daily production planning and wash-plant scheduling, through to port stockpile management and despatch/demurrage services.
Across every area, TransCoal has reduced the cost per tonne of getting coal from pit-to-port; all while improving the efficiency of each mining operation. What challenges can we help you solve today?
