Magindustries reports that ship loaders were damaged at the Eucalyptus Fibre Congo operations in Pointe-Noire, Republic of Congo
MagIndustries Corp. (“MagIndustries” or the “Company”) (TSX:MAA) reports today that an accident has occurred during ship-loading at the Eucalyptus Fibre Congo (“EFC”) operations in Pointe-Noire, Republic of Congo. EFC is a wholly owned unit of MagForestry Inc. which in turn is wholly owned by the Company.
EFC’s two ship loaders were damaged by the sudden movement of a vessel during loading. MagIndustries expects to file an insurance claim for the repair costs and loss of business.
A technical evaluation of the damage, repair costs and repair timeframe is underway, but until repairs are completed no eucalyptus wood chip exports can be undertaken by EFC.
