Monitoring inventory of raw material stockpile across major ports, mines and mills
Iron ore & Coal are the largest traded Dry Bulk commodity in the world. We track the major iron ore and coal producing mines, the important ports used for Iron ore and coal shipments and the iron ore stored at the biggest steel mills. The change in Inventory of Iron ore and coal at ports, mines and mills is useful to Commodity & Equity Traders, Hedge funds, Banks, Downstream companies and Steel producers.
Problems & Solutions
- Iron ore traditionally had long term contracts with mining companies and steel producers fixing the year long pricing every year
- In the last decade the contracts became shorter with iron ore and coal now traded across exchanges with short term contracts
- Still the iron ore pricing doesn’t have transparency as 80% of iron mined is still being controlled by top 4 mining companies
We aim to remove these gaps in the production data availability by providing near real-time and unbiased metal production data at a mill/smelter or company level. Our algorithms derived using satellite imagery data determine the activity index in a mill or smelter which is converted into a production index using different statistical models.
