Consulting Services for import and export operations of cementitious materials and solid fuels. 



These operations involve technical knowledge of the industry (appropriate handling of clinker, cement, etc.), port operations, plus a commercial approach (footprint, agility and first mover advantage). The required expertise blend is special, with specific experience and knowledge of both, shipping and industrial fields.

Logistics Assessments

Inbound and outbound logistics. When sold products become increasingly similar, the logistics service provided to the Client can make a sales difference. We support this differentiation with our analytical assessments of distribution networks. On the inbound side we can provide evaluations of multi-modal transport (vessel, road, rail…) operations at the plant and multi-plant level, as well as land supply chain analysis and optimization.

Project scheduling

The schedule of a project does not start on contract signature, and project delays are not only caused by manufacture or construction problems. We provide comprehensive schedules, realistic and project-specific, updated with clear baselines and detailed critical paths, so that they are a true control and forecast tool, and not a mere reporting obligation.

Technical audits

In industry or business, performance without measurement is a matter of chance. We reduce the scope of chance by thoroughly auditing the core producing departments of a cement plant with our specialized teams comprising experts in civil, mechanical, electrical and automation.

Tendering and contract negotiations

We provide services covering the evaluation of contracting alternatives, the preparation of tender documents, the preselection of bidders, contract negotiations, contract management, and independent expertise on litigations and disputes.

Due diligence 
and valuations

Either acting on behalf of the Seller or the (prospective) Buyer, we provide professional independent advice on technical and financial aspects. If required, we can include the legal, environmental and safety approaches.

Optimization and supervision of port handling operations

Globbulk’s backbone has been the international maritime trade, and we can provide experience-based assistance for improvements in port operations, terminals and ship loading/unloading.

Tendering and contract negotiations

Business is a serious matter, and we believe that structured approaches and evaluations are necessary. We can provide a proven methodology for the assessment of projects and portfolios, adapted as necessary to the particularities of the specific Client and project.

Equipment maintenance plans

Most factories take maintenance for granted. However, there are plants where maintenance levels have been slowly degraded; there are also cases where the handing-over from the constructor has not been successful, and the operators find themselves in the wild; and there are plants where maintenance just means repair.

Pneumatic conveying analysis

Within our network of independent experts we can simulate alternative pneumatic conveying solutions, looking for the best outcome and provide tailor-made solutions to specific transport challenges.

Material handling 
and dedusting

Spillages and dust are the norm in too many plants. The related expenses are most often hidden: personnel accidents and equipment wear, production disruption and material losses, monetary fines and reputation damage. We are convinced by experience that our experts’ knowledge can help you to find a suitable solution.

CAPEX estimates / Financial evaluation

From the project evaluation stage until handover and project closure it is necessary to have reliable estimates of the capital investment requirements. It is a fact that the record of Capex estimates in the profession is irregular. 


Dispatch operations 
in bulk and bags

Dispatch inefficiencies are not only a plant production bottleneck, they are a bottleneck directly affecting the Client. (We believe that truck drivers are also Clients, even if they often are third-party intermediaries). Our experience has helped plants to improve their dispatch performance by analytical means combined with hands-on site assessment and follow-up with the Client.
