The primary function of the terminal is to unload gypsum from ships (arriving at the port approximately every two to four weeks), and to store gypsum temporarily.
Gypsum is then be dispatched by loading it into trucks for transport to GRA’s clients.
At Glebe Island Berth No.7, self-unloading vessels or ships’ cranes unload the gypsum into wharf-side hoppers.
The gypsum is then moved from the hopper to an enclosed storage shed by conveyor.
