Securing the future of a coal mine
Hillsborough Resources Ltd, is a coal company based in Vancouver with a coal mine located in Campbell River on Vancouver Island. Hillsborough turned to Vitol to help secure customers for their coal. Vitol’s global reach in the coal marketplace and ability to marshal and coordinate logistics resource has delivered real and lasting benefits to the mine.
- Vitol contracted a significant portion of Hillsborough’s export production for a number of years.
- Vitol ships Hillsborough’s production throughout the Pacific, complementing the company’s shipments within Canada.
Hillsborough continues to add customers to the mine’s portfolio. Vitol’s success in helping Hillsborough secure a long term future for the mine led to Vitol’s acquisition of Hillsborough in December 2009. A sign of real confidence.
