To be the best of our knowledge, Jasper did not have any impacts on the coal mines and railways except minor delays, as the three coal terminals kept berths vacant for 2-3 days due to weather conditions and safety concerns.
Abbot Point coal terminal has resumed vessel operations since 12 December, while HPCT & DBCT resumed vessel operations yesterday (13 December).
