(a)-(e) In 2001 Fremantle Ports borrowed $10 million from the Western Australian Treasury Corporation to fund the acquisition of a new bulk unloader at Fremantle Ports Bulk Cargo Jetty in Kwinana. The remaining $0.7 million was funded from internal funds held by Fremantle Ports.
Fremantle Ports will repay the borrowings although an equity contribution is to be made for the after tax cost of an interest only loan of $5 million until such time as third party usage is sufficient to repay this.
