Comments:
Plane Creek Mill processed about 46,800 tonnes of cane for the week, bringing the season total to just under 283,000 tonnes.
A cleaning intermission and work to isolate the master shredder turbine took place on Friday, to align with a factory stop caused by planned industrial action.
Average CCS rose by 0.09 of a unit over the previous week, closing out at 13.18 units. Standover cane again made up 25 per cent of the week’s cane supply.
The highest CCS honour for the week was a rake of KQ228 1R from the Yukan productivity area with a CCS of 16.2 units.
Locomotive drivers are reporting incidents where drivers are engaging in risky behaviour, particularly at rail crossings fitted with flashing lights.
Please approach all crossings with caution and always give way to cane trains.
