24 | Klein Point Masterplan Future trade at Klein Point has been projected to be stable at 1.85 million tonnes per annum, with no forecast growth over the Masterplan period. This trade is directly linked to the longevity of the quarry, which is not anticipated to be exhausted before 2070.
The port faces severe limitations in terms of accessibility, lack of backing land and lack of rail. However, despite this, Klein Point operates satisfactorily for the existing user who has recently invested in continuing the current vessel operation, and has not expressed any requirement to modify the existing arrangement. Given the severe limitations and high utilisation, there is little opportunity to relocate trade to
Klein Point. However, with the heavy utilisation of the berth by the current user and proximity to the limestone quarry, it was also determined that there is little opportunity to relocate existing trade away from Klein Point. Therefore, the preferred option for Klein Point is to continue as normal, on the basis that the operations of the quarry continue as planned. The preferred option is presented right.
