The pulp mill will operate 24 hours a day. Will the log supply be the same? It may be that haulage contractors may have to bid for night contracts, if that is possible.
If we take the situation that no rail access is built the Tamar route is used and logging contractors haul 24 hours a day, it means that there will be 14.6 trucks arriving at the chip mill each hour. At 11 minutes unload time and two unloaders that gives 1 hour 20 minutes unload time to drop the logs from 14.6 trucks.
