About BHP Operations in Port Hedland:

BHP port facilities include two operations located on opposite sides of the Port Hedland harbour.
Finucane Island operations are located on the western side of the harbour and includes Harriet Point.
Production from the new car dumper (CD5) at Finucane Island commenced in Q2 FY2013.

Nelson Point operations are located on the eastern side of the harbour and includes Burgess Point.
Two new berths and shiploaders were commissioned in Q2 FY2013, as part of their Port Hedland
Inner Harbour Project. The construction of these two new berths brings our total number of berths
at Port Hedland to eight. BHP also have a sophisticated conveyor system that runs under the harbour,
through a 1.16 kilometre tunnel that carries ore from Nelson Point to Finucane Island. Port Hedland is
currently considered the world's largest bulk-export port2. In FY2012, BHHP loaded 988 vessels at their
Port Hedland port operations.

Port Haven was estabilised in 2011 and hosts 1,202 accommodation rooms for BHP employees and FIFO
workers. The village includes facilitates such as pool, dining room, pizzeria, tavern and extensive multi
sports facilities (including a running track and golf driving range).
