DB Schenker awarded integrated logistics contract from Albemarle to service Kemerton Lithium Expansion Project

DB Schenker is pleased to announce that we have been awarded the contract to provide comprehensive Project Construction Freight Forwarding and Logistics services to Albemarle’s Kemerton Lithium Expansion Project (KEP) in Western Australia. The engineering contractor will be Hatch Australia.

The Kemerton Lithium Expansion Project is DB Schenker’s first foray into the rapidly growing battery metals mining industry globally. Lithium is a key ingredient in batteries to support global decarbonization efforts, offering a long-lasting and efficient alternative to traditional fuel sources such as gasoline, and having applications in electric vehicles. The Kemerton plant is located approximately 150 kilometres south of Perth, Western Australia. It is located near the Port of Bunbury and close to one of the world’s largest hard rock lithium deposits the Greenbushes mine.

The work will be supported by the DB Schenker Project Control Tower office located in Perth, in conjunction with our global network of Project offices that are specialised and accustomed to the unique logistics service requirements of the industry.

DB Schenker is proud to be selected by Albemarle and Hatch to provide comprehensive international freight and logistics solution in support of this very important project.

“We have a proven track record of working safely and efficiently, even on the most remote sites and mega projects in the world,” says Frank Vogel, VP Global Projects & Industry Solutions APAC.

This award will also provide exciting new local employment development and opportunities for DB Schenker in Western Australia.
