COAL exports out of Newcastle will likely finish the year at least 10 per cent down on 2021, but the industry says the drop-off is purely the result of weather-related disruptions.
Port Waratah Coal Services (PWCS), which operates the Carrington coal loader and one of two terminals on Kooragang Island, released its September figures yesterday, showing throughput to the end of the month totalling 68.2 million tonnes, down noticeably on the 84.9 million tonnes for the first nine months of last year.
