Comments:
Plane Creek Mill processed 54,338 tonnes of cane for the week, bringing the season total to just over 187,000 tonnes.
Throughput was disrupted on Tuesday morning due to a major derailment at Tedlands siding on Monday afternoon, along with an extended stop due to industrial action on Wednesday.
Average CCS rose by 0.03 of a unit over the previous week, closing out at 13.13 units. Standover cane made up 24 per cent of the week’s cane supply.
The highest CCS honour for the week was a rake of KQ228 1R from the Mt Christian productivity area with a CCS of 16.05 units.
As always, we ask the public to stay alert around our cane rail network.
