Cyclone fails to rain on iron ore parade

摘要

Iron ore shipments from the Pilbara were as strong as ever during the December quarter despite the early onset of the wet season. Atlas Iron Ltd shipped a record 5.1 wmt in the six months to December, including a record 2.7 wmt for the final quarter of 2013, even though port operations had to be shut down late in the year when Tropical Cyclone Christine crossed the Pilbara coast.
