Port of Vancouver announces a new bulk customer, Quadra Mining Ltd., at the Port’s export bulk facility, operated by Kinder Morgan Bulk Terminals. Up to 150,000 metric tons of copper concentrates are expected to ship out of the Port’s Terminal 2 Berth 7 annually to Asian markets.
The first export shipment of copper concentrates of 10,000 metric tons to China is expected to load onto the M/V Glen Helen on December 8, 2004. The copper concentrates arrived from Quadra’s mine in eastern Nevada by rail in gondola cars. The mine is projected to have a 10-year life span. More information is available at www.quadramining.com/s/Home.asp.
“This is the kind of public-private partnership that brings new business into our Columbia River system and exemplifies the spirit of the Port’s ‘can-do’ attitude,” said Alastair Smith, Port Senior Director of Marketing and Operations.
At the Port of Vancouver, Kinder Morgan manages over 120,000 square feet of bulk storage warehouses including a reclaim system and outloader, portable conveyors and hoppers, railcar shakers, bottom dump pit, scales and a 26-car indexer. Bentonite clay, copper and other mineral concentrates are the primary bulk products handled by Kinder Morgan at this facility.
Kinder Morgan, owned by Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. with corporate headquarters in Houston, Texas, is a Louisiana-based stevedore company specializing in dry bulk cargo handling for transportation since the 1970s. Kinder Morgan assumed the operating agreement of the Port’s export bulk facility at Terminal 2 when it acquired Hall Bulk Marine in 1998.
The Port of Vancouver, USA, created by Clark County taxpayers in 1912, is one of the major ports on the Pacific Coast. Its competitive strengths include available land, versatile cargo handling capabilities, vast transportation networks, a dependable labor force and an exceptional level of service to its customers and community.
