CITIC extends Centurion contract

Centurion has received a three-year contract extension to provide integrated logistics services for CITIC Pacific Mining’s Sino iron project in the Pilbara.

Perth Airport-based Centurion has been providing services to CITIC for more than eight years, including line haul, regional transport services and off-site receipting.

The Sino project is located at Cape Preston, about 100 kilometres south west of Karratha.

Centurion chief executive Justin Cardaci said the contract extension validated the quality and efficiency of the company’s services.

“The renewal of the CITIC contract is of strategic importance as it reaffirms Centurion’s position as a leading provider of logistics services to the resources industry across the west coast of Australia," Mr Cardaci said.

Centurion said over the last three years it had contributed, directly and indirectly, more than $800 million in spending in WA.

The company said, with CITIC’s support, it could continue its economic contribution to the Karratha region.
