Owned by Grange Resources, it sits about 70 km west of Burnie and ships magnetite iron ore pellets produced from the Savage River mine. Ore arrives as slurry through an 85 km pipeline, is de-watered and pelletised on site, then loaded onto bulk carriers by conveyor; output exceeds two million tonnes a year, with expansion toward 2.7 mill","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/seaports/port-latta-port-au-pla","markdownMirror":"https://www.freight-academy.com/api/md/seaports/en/port-latta-port-au-pla","source":null,"provider":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Freight Academy","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com"},"quickSummary":"Port Latta · (UN/LOCODE: AU PLA) · Australia · Very Small · 14 m"}
