Boom Logistics
(ASX:BOL) says BHP Billiton Limited
(ASX:BHP) has nominated the crane company as the successful bidder for a five-year deal at the Olympic Dam operations.
Terms and conditions haven’t been finalised between the two parties.
BHP and Boom have an established relationship: the miner awarded Boom a three-year contract last July, to supply crane service to the BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance.
The crane accident that took the life of a worker at BHP Billiton’s Port Headland operations last July was also a Boom crane. At the time, the company said it was a tragedy and it was investigating the cause.
BHP reported a net profit of $22.3 billion in the 2011 financial year.
