Spodumene concentrate cannot be ship-loaded like the heavy coppers or iron ores at Port Hedland ..
Its all about containing the lightweight spodumene dusts from the Port Hedland winds...
Its classed as a dry bulk containerized cargo that can contaminate . Its the reason its transported in Rota-boxes from the Contained Storage Sheds at CUBE . Once the Craned Rota boxes are suspended over the ships holds within the protection of the ships walls then the ore is released in such a way to reduce any dust problems...
Back to a few years ago my notes say others tried loading via their Shiploader conveyors some Wodgina DSO (Direct shipped Ore) -and it has not happen that way since. That producer has since moved on.
Of course the buyers much prefer the PLS concentrate version they are currently transporting....
Ramp up of next PLS shipment..., page-1441
