About CSL

CSL’s WORLDWIDE FLEET

5

About 70 bulkers and transhippers

A quicker route to market

Earlier cash-flows, to fund the high cost of upstream infrastructure projects

Earlier royalty payments to fund Government projects

Earlier economic stimulus trickling down through the economy

Reduced risk of environmental wars

Transhipment – The Benefits

6

Economies of Scale not otherwise available (up scaling to Cape vessels)

Minimal Investment in Shore side Infrastructure

Minimal Port Infrastructure

Minimal or No Dredging

Minimal Environmental Impact

Transhipment – The Savings

Transhipment in The Pilbara - Potential

11

Oceanic Bathymetry

Limited opportunity for new deep water ports … little spare capacity in the current deep water ports

Typically – deep water (25m) found 10 - 20 nm from shore; means significant channel dredging to accommodate cape ships

Capital & Environment

$billion savings in infrastructure & port dredging

Limited environmental impact minimizing the “eco-wars”

Uncertainty

Volume ramp-up, Fluctuating iron ore price,

Lead time

Reduced Capex because of smaller infrastructure

Smoother approval process

Leads to earlier start up

PORT HEDLAND

14m channel + tide = max depth ~ 22m

Cape ship departures restricted to high tides
