Tampa — The Mosaic Co. has shifted operations away from Kinder Morgan-owned terminals at Port Manatee and Port of Tampa to the company’s own Big Bend Marine Terminal, Mosaic announced late last month. Pam Baylor, Mosaic director of planning and warehouse services, said the move was a cost-cutting measure and had been in the works for over two years. Consolidation of the terminals to a single facility will expedite order fulfillment, according to Big Bend terminal manager Ron Kobosky. The 1.5 million st/y capacity terminal is expected to serve both the Gulf export and NOLA barge markets. Mosaic’s contracts for the Kinder Morgan terminals expired in 2013.
