Ed Coll, Pangaea's Chief Executive Officer said: "We are pleased to extend our partnership with Noranda. Noranda and Pangaea know each other very well, having frequently found ways to enhance our relationship over many years, resulting in a true partnership. We look forward to serving Noranda's transportation, supply and logistics needs for many, many years, and we will work and grow together on marketing and logistics for other products related to the aluminium industry."
David F. D'Addario, Chief Executive Officer of Noranda, commented, "Having such a stable and dependable partner as Pangaea transporting our bauxite from Jamaica to Gramercy gives us comfort in knowing that our key raw material supply will get to our refinery timely and cost effectively. With decades of bauxite supply under lease to us in Jamaica, it makes sense to extend our relationship with Pangaea through the next decade and create a pricing paradigm where our costs are much more predictable over that period."
The parties agreed to a pricing structure designed to create, net of fuel and port cost variances, stable pricing with minor inflationary adjustments through the life of the contract, according to Pangaea Logistics Solutions press release.
