Drax Biomass' first vessel sails from Port of Baton Rouge
On April 7, the first vessel sailed away from Drax Biomass’ Baton Rouge port facilities to the Port of Tyne located on the U.K.’s East Coast. The MV TBC Princess was loaded with pellets from Drax Biomass’ southern pellet mills for power generation. Drax Biomass spent about 15 months building the port facilities to handle and ship pellets from the company’s two 450,000 metric-ton-per-year plants; Amite BioEnergy in Gloster, Mississippi, and Morehouse BioEnergy in Morehouse Parish, Louisiana, as well as pellets from suppliers other than Drax. These facilities have amounted to an overall investment of a $350 million for the company, and are expected to put 200 people to work by 2016.
