Fortescue has been granted approval to increase the licensed throughput capacity of Herb Elliott Port from mtpa to mtpa, in line with our strategy to deliver growth through investment in significant projects including the Iron Bridge Magnetite Project.
The Judith Street Harbour towage infrastructure and our fleet of tugs provide safe and reliable towage services that maximise the efficiency of our operations, while offering competitive third party towage services within the port. Designed to complement our port infrastructure, the fleet of eight , tonne capacity Fortescue Ore Carriers deliver approximately 11 per cent of our shipping requirements, while improving load rates and efficiencies and reducing operating costs.
Our shipping fleet completes our mine to market supply chain. The innovative process design, including the use of a dry crushing and grinding circuit, will deliver globally competitive capital intensity and operating costs.
The Iron Bridge project includes the installation of a km concentrate slurry pipeline to Port Hedland, together with a return water pipeline. In FY21, Fortescue completed a week technical and commercial assessment of the project to validate the capital cost and schedule, with first production scheduled by December and a ramp up period of 12 to 18 months. The construction of a module offload facility at Lumsden Point in Port Hedland commenced in FY21 to address logistical constraints relating to the delivery of large modules fabricated offshore.
Fortescue has an integrated operating and marketing strategy, focused on meeting the needs of our customers while maximising value. Fortescue products are sold to a global customer base, with the majority of tonnes sold to long-term customers in China.
In , we established our wholly owned Chinese sales entity FMG Trading Shanghai, a portside sales capability to supply our products directly to Chinese steel mills from regional ports.
This capability is now well established and has allowed us to enhance our service to small and medium-sized customers through direct supply in Renminbi, complementing our existing contractual seaborne arrangements.
Fortescue was the first company in the world to deploy Caterpillar CAT autonomous haulage on a commercial scale when trucks fitted with autonomous haulage system AHS technology began operating at the Solomon Hub in Today, our AHS fleet is among the largest in the world and demonstrates our unique capability to manage and operate a multi-class truck size autonomous haulage site.
In FY21, we celebrated the milestone of surpassing two billion tonnes of material moved. When our Train Control Centre opened in , we were the first operation in WA to control a railway from outside the region. Now known as the Fortescue Hive, the expanded, purpose-built remote operations facility was opened in and includes our planning, operations and mine control teams, together with port, rail, shipping and marketing teams.
The Hive allows team members across our complete supply chain to work together, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to deliver improved safety, reliability, efficiency and commercial outcomes.
It underpins our future use of technology, including artificial intelligence and robotics, and will evolve to include the generation and integrated distribution network for Pilbara Energy Connect PEC.
PEC, together with the Chichester Solar Gas Hybrid Project, will deliver 25 per cent of our stationary energy requirements from solar power. PEC leverages existing assets and provides Fortescue with a hybrid solar gas energy solution that enables the delivery of stable, low cost power and supports the incorporation of additional large-scale renewable energy in the future.

Your Name. Your Email. What information are you most interested in? Ore is loaded from the surface miner into trucks for transfer to the OPF. The crushing and sizing process will size material to less than — mm such that it can be transported by conveyor to the OPF. The OPF is able to produce three market products; namely lump, special and rocket fines. Rocket and special fines are currently the primary products being produced. Combined production numbers are reported under Chichester Hub Operation.
