North Queensland coal exports slide in July after record June

摘要

Sydney—Coal exports from Australia’s North Queensland fell in July from the record high seen in June, but remained strong in comparison to other previous months, data from the North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation showed Thursday. The region — known for its metallurgical coal — shipped 12.74 million mt of coal during the month. That was a 12% fall from June, but a 2% increase year on year and with the exception of June, the largest monthly total in a year. The total from the northern Queensland export facilities was made up of volumes from Abbot Point, Dalrymple Bay and Hay Point.
