ABB Grain says it is helping Adelaide Brighton Cement handle its limestone to maintain continuity of shipments from its Yorke Peninsula mine. Adelaide Brighton Cement’s Klein Point jetty was damaged in May 2009 after being struck by a vessel. It approached ABB Grain to see if it could accommodate shipments of limestone through its port at Ardrossan. Under the arrangements, Adelaide Brighton Cement relies on ABB’s logistics network to transport limestone from Klein Point to Ardrossan. The rock is put over ABB’s conveyor belts and loaded onto the Accolade II for shipping to Port Adelaide. ABB’s engineering division also designed a telescopic spout to go between the shiploader beam and the special hopper aboard the vessel.
