The early wet season has commenced in a number of West African regions for this year, known locally as Mango Rains.
The high volume of rain is having a dangerous impact on the behaviour and appearance of a number Group A cargoes being exported. The materials seeing the most impact are Mineral Concentrates, Nickel Ore, Iron Ore Fines and Bauxite Fines. There may be a number of local shippers / mines whose cargoes are affected and who also have unsuitable sampling and testing regime to cope with these potential issues.
