Roughly 360,000 tonnes of ilmenite concentrate a year leave Jøssingfjord (UN/LOCODE NOJOS), a single-purpose industrial loading port in Sokndal municipality, Rogaland, Norway, run for the mining company Titania AS. The ore comes from the adjacent Tellnes mine, one of the world's largest ilmenite deposits at roughly 400 million tonnes of reserves, giving Titania about a 10 percent share of global ilmenite output. Up to ten bulk carriers a year call here, each loading around 36,000 tonnes, mostly bound for customers in China who process it into titanium dioxide for paint, plastics and cosmetics. There is no container or general cargo handling; Jøssingfjord exists solely to serve this one mining operation. Egersund is the nearest fishing and industrial port hub, while Kristiansand on the south coast is the practical option for international liner service and general-cargo customs clearance.
