Newcastle Coal Infrastructure Group (NCIG), partly owned by BHP Billiton Ltd., completed financing for a A$900 million ($824 million) expansion of a coal terminal at the port in Australia’s [[New South Wales and coal|New South Wales state]]. Export capacity will rise from 30 million to 53 million metric tons a year. Construction will take place over the next two years. The terminal has planning approval to handle 66 million tons of coal annually. NCIG, which includes [[Peabody Energy]], won a 2005 tender to build a third terminal at the world’s biggest export harbor for power-station coal, beating a bid by Port Waratah Coal Services Ltd., owner of the existing two terminals. The expansion will increase export capacity at Newcastle to more than 180 million tons of coal a year by 2013.<ref>Ben Sharples, [http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-08-10/newcastle-coal-group-completes-financing-for-824-million-port-expansion.html "Newcastle Coal Group Completes Financing for $824 Million Port Expansion"] Bloomberg, August 9, 2010.</ref>
