Nine vessels at anchor off Port Walcott, waiting to load iron ore

Rio Tinto Loads First Ship At Cape Lambert From Its 290 Mt/A Expansion Programme

Tue Sep 03 07:15:10 CEST 2013 arnekiel

Rio Tinto has achieved the significant milestone of loading the first shipment of iron ore from its expanded port, rail and mine operations in Australia. This marks the commencement of commissioning of the expansion programme, which will see overall capacity for Rio Tinto's iron ore operations in Western Australia increase to 290 million tonnes a year. The phase two expansion of the port, rail and power infrastructure to 360 Mt/a is underway. A number of options for mine capacity growth are under evaluation including incremental tonnes from further low-cost productivity improvements, expansion of existing mines and the potential development of new mines. The Tai Shan, a Rio Tinto Marine-chartered Cape-size class vessel, has embarked from the new Cape Lambert B wharf carrying the first shipment, a cargo of 165,000 tonnes of Pilbara Blend fines. The shipment is bound for Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation's Kimitsu works in Tokyo. Photographic and video images of the first shipment are available.
