摘要

London—The port of Gladstone in the Australian state of Queensland saw a 7.2% increase in coal exports in 2013, largely driven by Chinese demand, according to Gladstone Ports Corp. shipping data released Thursday. Gladstone port’s RG Tanna coal terminal and its smaller Barney Point exports facility loaded 61.9 million mt of coal cargo onto 637 ships in 2013, compared with 57.7 million mt loaded onto 628 ships in 2012, Gladstone’s port authority said in a statistical update on its website.
