Westshore Terminals Investment Corporation Reports Operating Results for the First Two Months Ended February 28, 2013; Provides Operating Guidance for the First Quarter and Full Year of 2013
For first quarter of 2013, the company anticipates it will load approximately 6.0 million tonnes compared to first quarter of 2012 of 6.4 million tonnes. Lower volume was caused by the trestle incident.
Throughput volumes for 2013, after factoring in the Berth 1 disruption, are anticipated to be 28 -30 million tonnes for the year as a whole. In the absence of this incident, it had been anticipated that 2013 throughput levels would have been approximately 30 - 32 million tonnes at average rates expected to be higher than 2012 as a whole.
