The opening of the Port River Expressway Bridges last Friday will increase Adelaide port's capacity to export grain by providing an integral link to ABB's nearly completed Outer Harbor grain terminal.
A majority of SA grain is exported on panamax ships but Port Adelaide's Inner Harbor is too shallow to load them.
The Outer Harbour is panamax-capable, allowing vessels to birth and receive grain by train and truck simultaneously, at 1200 tones an hour.
The Outer Harbor terminal is set for completion at the end of this year.
It will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
