Scates Group Intermodal (SGI) has taken over operation of a private terminal on the Lower Mississippi River in Helena, Ark. SGI took over operation of the former Griffin River Terminal, now named Scates Group Intermodal Helena River Terminal, on February 27. The company has a three-year lease on the property at 1305 Highway 20 in Helena, at Lower Mississippi Mile 660.2, and an option to purchase it at the conclusion of that period, SGI President Patrick Scates said. The terminal offloads both dry and liquid fertilizer from barges and places it in dry storage, where it is available to be custom-blended and shipped to customers, Scates said. The facility has four warehouses with a total of 66,000 tons of dry fertilizer storage availability as well as room for 17,500 tons of liquid fertilizer in six tanks. It also includes a 338,000-bushel grain storage facility with two flat tanks and a hopper tank. |
