T-Ports is preparing to open its Lock and Lucky Bay grain bunkers, with about 510,000 tonnes of combined storage capacity plus 24,000 tonnes portside at Lucky Bay. First grain is expected in March-April, with full operation by October in a normal season.
The company says its freight differential is $1-$15/t below current domestic haulage costs.
New competing storage and export capacity on the Eyre Peninsula could lower handling and freight costs for growers, a slight bearish factor for regional grain basis.
