BHP’s $1.4 Billion Push to Lift Port Hedland Capacity BHP is investing $1.4 billion to upgrade infrastructure at Port Hedland, the world’s largest bulk export port and the backbone of Australia’s iron-ore industry. This port handles the ore that arrives from BHP’s giant Pilbara mines — brought in by some of the longest freight trains on Earth. With global demand rising and competition heating up, BHP is preparing the port for its next phase of growth. New Rail-Car Dumper and 5km Conveyors The major upgrade includes: A new sixth rail-car dumper Around five kilometres of new conveyors Upgrades to screening and transfer infrastructure These additions are designed to move ore from train to ship faster, safer and with fewer bottlenecks, supporting BHP’s long-term target of 305 million tonnes per year. A Strategic Response to Rising Competition BHP’s investment comes as Rio Tinto and Chinese-backed groups expand operations in Africa, including major new iron-ore developments in Guinea. Those projects could shift global supply balances over the next decade. Increasing throughput at Port Hedland is part of BHP’s effort to maintain its position as a leading low-cost iron-ore producer. Is It Enough to Stay Ahead? The expansion will boost efficiency and help stabilise output across BHP’s Pilbara network. But with new African mines edging closer and long-term demand uncertain, the question remains: Will this $1.4 billion upgrade secure BHP’s lead — or will more investment be needed to stay in front?

Intel’s been lagging behind for years, while AMD has pulled far ahead in both consumer and professional-grade chips, it’s really not a close race anymore.

Intel’s been lagging behind for years, while AMD has pulled far ahead in both consumer and professional-grade chips, it’s really not a close race anymore.

There’s this idea floating around that throwing enough cash at Intel will suddenly turn them into the next TSMC. But semiconductor manufacturing isn’t something you can rush, it’s a complex, slow-moving process that takes years of precision and experience.

Intel could recover some ground eventually, but framing them as the savior of American chipmaking feels more like a political talking point than a practical reality.
