These excerpts taken from the ACI 10-K filed Feb 29, 2008. Transportation
We ship our coal to customers by means of railroad, barges or
trucks, or a combination of these means of transportation. We
also ship our coal to Atlantic coast terminals or terminals
along the Gulf of Mexico for transportation to domestic and
international customers. As is customary in the industry, once
the coal is loaded onto the rail car, barge, truck or vessel,
our customers are typically responsible for the freight costs to
the ultimate destination. Transportation costs borne by the
customer vary greatly based on each customer’s proximity to
the mine and our proximity to the loadout facilities.
Our Arch Coal Terminal is located in Catlettsburg, Kentucky on a
111-acre
site on the Big Sandy River above its confluence with the Ohio
River. The terminal provides coal and other bulk material
storage and can load and offload river barges and trucks at the
facility. The terminal can provide up to 500,000 tons of storage
and can process up to six million tons of coal annually for
shipment on the inland waterways.
In addition, we own a 17.5% interest in Dominion Terminal
Associates, which leases and operates a ground
storage-to-vessel
coal transloading facility in Newport News, Virginia. The
facility has a rated throughput capacity of 20 million tons
of coal per year and ground storage capacity of approximately
1.7 million tons. The facility serves international
customers, as well as domestic coal users located along the
Atlantic coast of the United States.
