At last, we are being promised some volume. This time last year we complained about the lack of volume so it has taken a year for the penny to drop.
Any action on the part load charges then?
Any chance of last year’s low volumes/activity being reflected in our rates this year?
As for the competitors, I saw one of their bulkers collecting Cemex aggs/sand so maybe that is how they make it pay. They get raw materials cheaper than the concrete business perhaps?
Am I the only one wondering why the cement and aggs side of the business isn’t complaining about the low volumes? Surely, as long as those two are making money the concrete margins don’t matter too much?
