A 6-year, $26-million transportation agreement has been signed with Glenbrook Nickel Co. for the annual movement of about 700,000 tons nickel ore, Trimac Transportation reports.
The ore will be shipped from the import terminal being constructed by Glenbrook in Oregon’s Coos Bay to Glenbrook’s smelter in Riddle, Ore. The haul will require 15 lightweight ore trains to make the 200-mile round trip. Glenbrook, which operates the only nickel smelter in the U.S., has a 10-year contract to receive ore imported from the Pacific island of New Caledonia. A test shipment arrived in June, 1991. Glenbrook is 50% owned by Cominco Resources International (TSE).
