The Port of Hay Point is one of the largest coal export ports in the world, and is situated about 40 km south of Mackay. The port comprises two separate coal export terminals, Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal (DBCT), leased from the State Government by Prime Infrastructure Trust (PIT) and the Hay Point Coal Terminal (HPCT), owned by BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) and operated by Hay Point Services for BMA. Together the two terminals service mines in the Central Bowen Basin region of Queensland.
The mines are linked to the port terminals through an integrated rail port network. Queensland Rail (QR) owns the below rail component (track, signalling and overhead wiring) of the rail network which provides access to above rail service providers (rolling stock and locomotives). The above rail service provider is QR Network.
In June 2009 DBCT completed its 7X expansion project, bringing the terminal’s nameplate capacity to 85 mtpa. BMA is progressing the approved HPX3 expansion from 44 mpta to 55 mtpa. BMA is investigating further expansions in the longer term to a possible 75 mtpa.
Facilities:
Infrastructure at the port consists of purpose-built rail inloading facilities, onshore stockyards and offshore jetties leading to wharves. The offshore wharves are serviced by conveyor systems which run the coal from the stockyard to the wharves situated about 3.8km out to sea and allow loading in deep water.
DBCT consists of four berths, serviced by three manually operated shiploaders with a loading capacity of 7,200tph.
The HPCT wharf is 1.8km offshore. It has two berths and is owned and operated by the BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance. Berth #1 is serviced by a luffing boom gantry with telescopic chute with an average loading capacity of 4,000 tph with a maximum of 6,000 tph. Berth #2 is serviced by a rail mounted shuttle boom with telescopic chute and an average loading capacity of 4,000 tph with a maximum of 6,000tph.
Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) provides marine pilotage services for the terminals, with most transfers to and from ships via helicopter with pilot launch utilised for all other occasions. Each terminal has its own towage arrangements in place.
