Queensland’s January coal exports at record

Despite the falling commodity prices, Queensland coal exports during the month of January reached just over 19-million tonnes, which was a record for the month of January and an 8% improvement on the same period last year. Queensland Resources Council (QRC) CEO Michael Roche said on Friday that the coal ports of Abbot Point, Dalrymple Bay, Hay Point and Gladstone all had their strongest ever January.
