Challenges
Aging equipment and subsequent poor reliability (Landside and Quayside Bulk Equipment)
New Equipment –OEM Local Support.
Accommodating road delivery (port designed for rail)
Environmental risks (dusty commodities)
Capacity to grow –Landside capacity versus Quayside capacity –(Timing of capital Projects)
Skills Shortage (relating to Specialized machinery)

Performance Indicators and Benchmarks
Vessel turnaround time
Hire charges $30,000 to $160,000 /day, delays abusively expensive
Service levels
Good performance to at least achieve norms offers confidence & …
Consistency offers reliability to our clients when chartering vessels
Machinery breakdowns defeat both these objectives
Dry Bulk Terminal is very unique …
No other such “multi-product” terminal found in the world
Other bulk terminals are “amazed” at how we cope
Most other bulk terminals are:
Single commodity or “group specific” and/or
Have no self-owned storage and/or
Split up between quayside operations and landside operations
