Port Kembla Coal Terminal

About Port Kembla Coal Terminal

PKCT, an Australian coal exporting terminal located south of Sydney on Australia’s east coast, handles in excess of 13 million tonnes of coal annually serving 12 mines. Coal is delivered to Port Kembla via both road and rail and is stored in a stockyard on site until the cargo is assembled, reclaimed and taken by conveyor to waiting ships. In 2009, 226 ships were loaded with more than 13.2 million tonnes of coal and almost 400,000 tonnes of coke bound for ports throughout Asia, India and Europe.

Project Scope

PKCT expects the Quintiq solution to maximize the throughput of the terminal by increasing the utilization of its stock yard, machinery and other critical port assets. Moreover, Quintiq will advance the planning process by automating many planning functions, by shifting PKCT's embedded knowledge to the planning solution and by providing expert decision support. The benefits of the system will be organization-wide visibility, increased planner independence and a more efficient coal supply chain.
