These vessels then transport the final products to multiple destinations around the world. The vessels transport the products to a deep water transhipment point 10km offshore, where they self-discharge into ocean-going bulk carrier vessels. Kenmare owns and operates two transhipment vessels, the Bronagh J and the Peg. The conveyor transports product to the end of a 400m long jetty, where product is loaded onto transhipment vessels, at a rate of 1,000 tonnes per hour. Both warehouses load product onto a 2.4km long overland conveyor. Ilmenite and rutile are stored in a 185kt capacity warehouse, while zircon is stored in a separate 35kt capacity warehouse to reduce the potential for cross-contamination.
