Mineral Resources’ 330-tonne road trains are being forced to drive at a third of the usual speed between the company’s flagship Pilbara iron ore mine and a port 147 kilometres to the west, jeopardising repeatedly lowered shipping targets set by the Chris Ellison-led business as it seeks to reassure investors.
Footage of the crucial link between Ken’s Bore and the port at Onslow shows trucks travelling down a wet, single lane road with construction on either side. MinRes earlier this year admitted that there were problems with the months-old road, half owned by Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners, and said it would spend $230 million repairing and upgrading it.
