Cloud Peak Energy (CPE) recently reached an agreement with SSA Marine to export up to 16 million tons of coal annually through the Washington state dry bulk cargo Gateway Pacific Terminal. The Cherry Point port would accommodate cape-size vessels and export up to 48 million tons of coal per year. CPE’s agreement is a share option based on terminal capacity; after permitting, construction completion is expected in two years while operation is slated for 2018.
