Train collision curbs China’s coal stocks

摘要

A train collision on China’s Daqin railway line in mid-April and subsequent maintenance on the line has sharply reduced coal stocks at the Qinhuangdao port. China’s major coal transshipment port of Qinhuangdao in north China’s Hebei province held stocks of 4.3mn t on 20 April, according to coal industry association the CCTD. This was lower by 15pc compared with a week earlier.
