US coal infrastructure

Millennium Terminal

During 2010, Millennium Bulk Terminals-Longview

(MBTL) was established by Ambre Energy as the

business entity to acquire a bulk materials terminal on

the Columbia River at Longview, Washington. MBTL is a

wholly-owned subsidiary of Ambre Energy.

It is Ambre Energy’s intention to establish one of the

few coal export facilities on the west coast of North

America to provide access to growing Asia-Pacific

markets for US thermal coal.

The 416 acre site is a multi-product bulk handling facility

for commodities such as alumina and cement. It is

accessible by rail infrastructure and has the potential to

receive Panamax vessels.

In 2010–11, a significant works program is planned to

maintain and upgrade existing facilities, and conduct

necessary environmental remediation work (including

ongoing clean up of contamination from 60 years of

aluminium smelting) to meet government requirements.
