Looks like BHP will jetison the outer harbour ... more pressure on Wah Nam and that port allocation.
-----------
BHP Billiton looks set to jettison the $20 billion Port Hedland outer harbour push, instead flagging a slow, staged development to deal with WA's "pretty hot" economy and a subdued iron ore outlook.
Analysts are likely to tip BHP to postpone development of all three of its mega-projects - the iron ore outer harbour venture, Olympic Dam's expansion, and the Jansen potash asset - given the market had seen Port Hedland as the most likely to proceed.
