The preference of the consortium of Alusuisse-CSR-Fletcher for Point site outside Dunedin for a second aluminum smelter can be partly attributed to the previous experience of Alusuisse. The Aramoana Point smelter of 100,000 tonnes a year, with jetty loading and unloading facilities, is very like its arrangements for its 75,000-tonne aluminium smelter outside Reykjavik, in Iceland (shown above). However, Aramoana Point is not a tundra semi-desert covered in snow for up to six months of the year like Iceland... hence the opposition from conser vationists.
