Insightful comments that we both share.... I believe however that Pilbara Ports will still run the port infrastructure and charge accordingly. Not sure it would be a big money spinner for Leichhardt, however gives Pilbara Ports, NAIF, WA Gov and any potential financiers the the combined projects a better business case and higher level of de-risking with a multi commodity, multi proponent project.
From these articles I have dug up below, it appears that Leichhardt are already in the process or have already submitted an application to the NAIF for a loan for the project and I imagine that associated infrastructure.
One of the articles is a little older, but provides some of the background to the fantastic opportunity that may be available to RHK.
