We assist clients to develop clear objectives for their assets, understand their failure modes, then identify the activities and resources needed to manage these failure modes, and achieve their objectives.
Ports & Logistics
Bluefield provides asset and project management services to ports and logistics operations. We have experience across a variety of asset classes, including materials handling assets, shiploaders, reclaimers, electrical and supporting infrastructure.
Alongside our work in Australia, Bluefield has significant international experience, including Africa (Zambia, South Africa), Latin America (Chile, Colombia, Panama), North America (Canada), Asia (Philippines, Japan, Laos) and Oceania (Papua New Guinea).
Bluefield’s services to ports and logistics operations cover the entire asset life cycle, from the pre-feasibility phase through to end-of-life. We also provide training, coaching, mentoring and other specialist services.
Our asset management services include Strategic Asset Management Planning, Asset Criticality Assessments, Spares Optimisation, and Asset Management Planning. We have built Asset Management Frameworks, Policies and Strategic Plans for clients.
In ports and logistics operations, we emphasise the critical importance of shutdown strategies and management, work management and materials management practices in achieving your targets. Using our in-house models and toolkits, we can work with you to conduct process assessments and improvement projects.
A particular challenge for ports and logistics operations is asset integrity and statutory equipment compliance, especially for electrical and structural assets. Bluefield has conducted detailed asset integrity audits for clients, and we can also provide support in rectifying critical defects.
In addition to our asset management services, Bluefield also has extensive project management experience. We have managed major shutdowns and capital programs for clients, and can provide support in managing studies and preparing capital expenditure applications. We also provide operational readiness services and support.
