The dry bulk terminal
is located on 71 acres at Rose Bluff Cutoff on the Calcasieu Ship
Channel (located 30 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico).
The bulk terminal has a 2,200 foot long wharf and a 40 foot projected

per hour of petroleum coke (one at 2,000 thp and one at 3,200 tph).
The ship/barge clam-bucket type unloader and conveyor system is
located at the site and traverses 740 feet of dock with an average
unloading rate of 450 short tons of barite per hour.
The site is capable of transfer from vessel to vessel, vessel to
rail, vessel to truck, or to open storage.
The terminal handles dry bulk products such as petroleum coke, calcined
coke, barite, rutile, woodchips, and other dry bulk commodities.
Other equipment includes: 100-ton railcar roll over facility capable
of handling 1,200 ton per hour, three separate railcar shakers, a
