VITERRA has officially opened its state-of-the-art deep sea grain terminal at Outer Harbor.
ABB Grain initiated the terminal in late 2006.
The berth is capable of fully loading Panamax size vessels (50,000 to 70,000 deadweight tonnes) and part-load Cape size ships (70,000 to 120,000dwt).
Viterra president Mayo Schmidt said the facility would boost the State’s international competitiveness in exporting premium grain to the world.
