    He admitted dredging was taking a little longer than planned but said the "engineering and construction people are very happy" and that the terminal would be operating by mid-November.
    Work on the terminal was originally due to begin in January, then February, with completion in July. Construction finally got under way in July and Stage 1 was predicted to be finished by the end of September.
