Australian coal shipments via North QLD terminals rise 29% MoM in Aug

Coal throughput via the three Australian terminals under the management of North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation (NQBP) totaled 12.97 million tonnes in August, up 29% from the previous month and making for the second-highest level so far this year, according to the latest data from NQBP.

The on-month climb reflected the strong performance of all three terminals last month. According to the NQBP data, deliveries through the Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal (DBCT), located in the Port of Hay Point, increased by 34% on month to 6.19 million tonnes, also marking the highest level since June
