I think murphy has already thrown everything he can re that -and cwrn won suit over ore at port April/May 2013- so except for a possible planned 7.5% royalty before EBIDTA that kubi informed us of, I dont think theres anything new -

but re shipping, its apparently all new to brad -for he hasnt shipped before, and he has to learn about the full extent of and take over and deal w all the pre-existing relationships and permits as part of the transition-and knowing human nature I suspect some of those 3rd parties may try to take advantage of the situation,thus complicating the 1st series of enactments necessary to get a ship rolling

and a ship could come and go without us even knowing-due to limitations w ship sites

already should be inventory enough for ca 6 Panamaxs and tenn21 reports more workers there now than before so logically that indicates a lot of shipping is coming-but we just dont know when or what bottlenecks he may be dealing with-

1st shipping contract bob dealt with, the shipping co played all kinds of games detailed before, resulting in many weeks or months of delays- each trucking contract ship/ contract etc is a learning experience and those are just the main ones we know about- chinese as we know are tough negotiators - just dont know where the delay is,assuming a ship hasnt slipped thru without noticing it

brad, unlike bob, has money, so he doesnt have to rely on outside sources to get things going like bob did,so thats reassuring
