Port exemption for Cargill in Adelaide

IT IS not likely to garner the same headlines as Emerald Grain’s proposed new port on the Eyre Peninsula, but another grain exporting facility in SA quietly took another step forward last week. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has made a draft recommendation that Patrick’s Berth 29 facility at Port Adelaide, used by Cargill with its mobile grain loading equipment, be exempt from the port access code. Cargill successfully trialled a mobile ship loader at Port Adelaide at the Patrick berth last year and now the site is being formally assessed as an ongoing grain exporting concern. Spokesman for Cargill Peter McBride said the mobile loader was used to allow the company to move grain from its GrainFlow storage and handling sites directly onto ships. However, those expecting Berth 29 to become a serious competitor to Viterra’s stranglehold on port logistics will be disappointed. It is believed there is capacity to export around 200-250,000 tonnes of grain out of the Berth 29 facility, out of an estimated SA crop of 7.18 million tonnes last year. http://www.northqueenslandregister.com.au/story/3765928/port-exemption-for-cargill-in-sa/?cs=4770
