Rail giant and mine owners will continue their strategic partnership on the Moura rail corridor
Aurizon has renewed and extended its haulage contract with the Dawson and Callide coal mines in Queensland.
It has a signed a new-form 10 year deal with the Dawson mine’s joint owners Anglo American and Mistui.
The deal also covers work for the Callide mine – which is owned outright by Anglo American.
“Anglo American and Mitsui are valued customers and Aurizon is delighted to renew its long-term relationship for the Dawson and Callide mines,” commercial director Mauro Neves says.
“We understand the challenges in the current market and Aurizon has worked hard to provide a competitive, flexible contract to meet Anglo American’s and Mitsui’s requirements.”
The new performance-based deal, which took immediate effect after yesterday’s signing, came after a competitive process in which several rail companies bid for the haulage volumes.
