However, this incident will affect the pace of its shipment. according to Teck resources, the maintenance of the faulty barge will be completed in the next 4 weeks, and the shipment of the, Red Dog mine will be carried out in the next 7 days under the condition that only one shou barge is put into operation, which will affect the delivery time to customers.
