Lloyd’s Register (LR) has secured a contract to develop a global operating model for ArcelorMittal’s dry bulk terminal network, marking a significant step towards standardising operations, enhancing safety and improving efficiency across the steelmaker’s port infrastructure.
Under the project, LR will work closely with ArcelorMittal to establish a unified operating framework that aligns best practices across its dry bulk terminals worldwide. The initiative aims to improve operational consistency, strengthen risk management and optimise cargo handling processes at multiple locations.
The global operating model will focus on key areas including terminal governance, health and safety standards, maintenance practices, operational performance and sustainability. By implementing common procedures and performance benchmarks, ArcelorMittal expects to enhance productivity while ensuring safe and reliable terminal operations.
The partnership reflects the growing emphasis on digitalisation, standardisation and operational excellence within the maritime and bulk logistics sectors. As global commodity supply chains become increasingly complex, terminal operators are investing in modern management frameworks to improve resilience and service quality.
For Lloyd’s Register, the project further strengthens its role as a provider of technical assurance and advisory services to the maritime, ports and industrial sectors. The collaboration is expected to support ArcelorMittal’s long-term strategy of improving the efficiency and competitiveness of its global dry bulk logistics network.
