The 21st Equity Cement Buyers Association has, following extensive research into global prices and demand for cement especially from the African continent, taken a decision to establish a Floating Cement Terminal in South Africa, which solves a great problem for cement buyers and builders alike.

Date: Friday, 02 January, 2009

CARSON CITY, NEVADA -- 21^st EQUITY HOMES MANUFACTURING INC. (21^st Equity) a precast home manufacturer and official Mandate Holder for global cement supply offers new logistics solutions and enormous cost savings to cement buyers in South Africa and for the future in any other part of the world.

We took a decision to establish in South Africa as it has a number of ports and forward planning is already underway to bring this exciting project to fruition. A number of African countries from which purchasers orders have been received have also expressed interest in our supply chain, highly favourable pricing structures and the fact that we can deliver. says Stephan Schurmann.

The CEO of 21^st Equity, Mr. Stephan Schurmann further explains how the floating terminal works.

Floating terminals require no shore-based buildings on land. 21^st Equity purchases a floating terminal on behalf of all members of the 21^st Equity Cement Buyers Association, to supply and handle temporary peak cement demand, with throughput capacities of typically up to 2.5 million metric tons. The 21^st Equity Floating Terminals are tied up at a dock in the entry port and can be operated without any shore facilities to handle cement and transport it directly on trucks/rail cars. With integrated packers, both, bulk and bagged cement can be handled. With a floating terminal it is possible to enter a port and start operation immediately, without land lease and construction permission.

With a multi building and construction boom going on in South Africa and various other countries across the world, especially in UAE, Nigeria, Malawi and shortage as well as high prices of cement, now the contractors have got nothing to worry about in terms of cement supply. That is because, 21^st Equitys Floating Cement Terminals are working in full swing to help reducing the cement shortage in each country and keep prices low for all members of the 21^st Equity Cement Buyers Association.

The idea was to help solve the problem of cement shortage in the country. Many different projects have started and others are yet to start, such as Stadiums, towers, housing, tourist villages, expansion of airports, etc. etc. and they all need cement.

The actual cement factories cannot produce enough on an annual basis due to limited productions capacities. So in order to support these suppliers with an additional capacity of up to 2.5 million metric tons per year, to fulfill the local demand from their existing and new clients, we decided to establish a floating cement terminal, which does not require any investment from members of the 21^st Equity Cement Buyers Association Mr. Schurmann says.

The floating terminal is equipped with 25,000 metric tons storage facility and can supply as much as 4,000 tons of cement per day or up to 2.5 million metric tons per year. Its facilities include two bag-packing machines, three lorry loading conveyors to unload 50 kg bags directly onto trucks on quay and equipped to load bulk cement directly into 30 to 60 tons bulker trucks.

The establishment of the 21^st Equity floating cement terminal is considered as the first phase of the operation. This is because it is faster and easy to operate, unlike setting up permanent terminal, which sometimes needs a complete year to fully erect the silos and the installation.

Mr. Schurmann explained the easy way of expanding its floating terminal operations if demand should require it in the future, because the first floating terminal has a capacity of 2.5 million metric tons and can easily be upgraded up to 8.5 million metric tons. Yet according to his assessment, in order to satisfy the various local markets, each floating terminal needs to have two million tons per year capacity as minimum capacity.

The 21^st Equity Cement Buyers Association is not only planning to sell cement but determined to ensure constant supply of first quality cement to its customers. Our Goal is the implementation of a logistic supply chain excellence solution for the cement industry in various high demand countries across the world added Mr. Schurmann.

The cement will be available either in bags or bulk at each harbor, where customers trucks will be loaded directly from the floating terminal. Cement can also be delivered by trucks at customers request.

Schurmann said the current demand for cement for example in Nigeria stands at about 30 million metric tons per annum, while the combined local production capacity is between 8 and 10 million tones. Importers supply only between 4 to 6 million metric tons, leaving supply far below demand. This huge supply-demand gap represented an opportunity for the 21^st Equity Cement Buyers Association to enter into local cement supply allowing more local cement buyers to benefit from a membership in the 21^st Equity Cement Buyers Association, without any capital investments for the members.

We supply only Portland Cement of quality grade. To date we have not included China as one of our suppliers for various reasons.
