South Africa 2010 coal export increases
South Africa’s 2010
coal exports rose nearly 4 per cent to 63.43 million tonnes, boosted by
demand from China and India, the Richards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT) said
on Tuesday.
South Africa
exported 61.14 million tonnes of coal last year, and state-owned
logistics group, Transnet, said it could ship up to 65 million tonnes
in 2010 despite a three-week strike that crippled ports and railways in
May.
“The significant changing factor is the major economic development
happening in China and India, requiring more electrical power and coal
inputs into their major factories,” chief executive, Raymond Chirwa,
said in a statement.
