--$29 million order for integrated power and control for site conveyor systems will ensure reliable, energy efficient performance to speed transport of coal to end customers in Asia--
ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, was awarded a $29 million order to provide complete electrical and automation systems for the conveyors at a new coal export terminal currently under construction in northeastern Australia. The order was booked in the second quarter.
The Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal (WICET), located in Gladstone, is owned and being developed by existing and potential coal exporters in Queensland to provide increased long term export coal capacity. The initial stage of the project will provide 27 million metric tons per year in export capacity, with first coal shipments planned for 2014. Once fully commissioned, the multi-billion dollar terminal will provide more than 80 million metric tons per year of capacity through the Port of Gladstone.
