What Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure does

Owns and operates the Dalrymple Bay coal export terminal in Queensland, a regulated metallurgical coal export facility.

Earns a regulated charge from coal miners for reserved capacity, largely payable whether or not the capacity is used (take-or-pay), so earnings are far less tied to coal prices and volumes than a typical port. The terminal is held under a long lease from the Queensland government.

In one line: A regulated coal export terminal operator.
