First raw material imports arrive for Osho Cement

The first vessel of raw material for Osho Cement in the Coega special economic zone (SEZ), South Africa, has moored at the Port of Ngqura.

The Genco Brittany discharged a total of 55,410t of clinker and gypsum at the port’s multipurpose terminal.

Osho Cement, a ZAR650m (US$45.5m) joint venture between a South African and an Austrian company, will import its primary raw material and transport it by truck to its factory, a round trip of 13km. The new cement venture is expected to come online later this year.
