The grain export facility will feature steel silos with 20,500 tonnes of grain capacity and a 500 metre rock causeway with grain conveyed to a ship loader for loading onto the transhipment vessel. A bunker site will feature six bunkers with a total of 340,000 tonnes of grain capacity.
There are efficiencies and cost savings in building this port on the opposite side of the Spencer Gulf to Lucky Bay as we will utilise the same transhipment vessel, MV Lucky Eyre.
