Frontier Supply Bases
ASCO’s Frontier Supply Bases provide rapid, tailored solutions by securing and establishing facilities to meet your operational requirements. With a history of operating supply bases in the world’s most challenging environments, we combine global reach with local insight to ensure your base is efficiently receiving, handling and redistributing goods and materials.
Remote operations, built for reliability
For critical projects in remote and challenging environments, resilience starts with a supply base and logistics hub that keeps operations running smoothly. Unlike developed markets, which typically have a plan B through alternative suppliers or closer access to spare parts for example, in frontier locations these options are limited or non-existent, so absolute reliability is essential to prevent disruption to your project.
We specialise in configuring new bases in frontier locations to match the unique demands of your project, often with fast deployment timelines. Our services focus on identifying, assessing, and configuring existing bases while minimising set-up time.
