South Korean Steam Coal Imports Rise in January

Coal

South Korea imported 13.4 Mt of coal in January, down from 14.0 Mt in December but still up by 1.5 Mt year-on-year, according to IHS Energy. This was primarily due to a 1.6 Mt increase in steam coal imports (incl. anthracite) to 11.2 Mt. By contrast, coking coal imports fell slightly to 2.2 Mt.
