“Klaveness/KCC has serviced Worsley with its combination carriers on a continued basis for close to 30 years, and we look forward to expand and further strengthen our valued relationship with South32 and Worsley in the years to come,”  Managing Director of Klaveness Combination Carriers, Engebret Dahm, commented.
