Currently, just 27% of cargo arrives by train.The Chrome Terminal comprises open slabs with capacity for 9.2 million tons per annum. Optimised for efficiency, all the slabs have high separating walls to enable effective segregation of specific products and allow stockpiles to be stacked higher, thus creating extra capacity within the same footprint.
