Queensland Coal Exports at Year-to-Date High

Coal

Combined coal exports from the Queensland ports of Dalrymple Bay, Hay Point, Abbot Point and Gladstone climbed to a year-to-date high of 19.4 Mt in August, up 1.3 Mt year-on-year, port authority data show. However, flooding related disruption earlier in the year meant shipments in January-August were still down by 10.7 Mt on the same seven months last year at 130.1 Mt.
