Newcastle Coal Infrastructure Group

Newcastle Coal Infrastructure Group (NCIG) commenced operations in 2010 and has already established itself as an integral part of Australia’s coal supply chain. NCIG takes pride in exporting thermal and metallurgical coal from the Newcastle, Hunter Valley, Gloucester, Gunnedah and Western Coalfields to destinations all around the world. The NCIG terminal currently operates at 53 Million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) but current expansions will see their capacity increase to 66 Mtpa.
