Potash from K+S’s new Bethune mine in southern Saskatchewan will be railed to the port before being shipped to international customers. K+S and Pacific Coast Terminals signed a long term agreement for trans-shipment facility in 2014. Certain modifications were made to accommodate potash shipments – a railcar unloader, conveyor belts, new transfer towers, and a 263-metre-long, 160,000-tonne warehouse. A train carrying 18,000 tonnes can unload in 4.5 hours. Learn more about the new Bethune mine at www.KS-PotashCanada.com.
