South Africa 2011 coal exports rise, China's share up

1/7/2012 12:46:25 PM


LONDON: South Africa's coal exports for calendar year 2011 rose by 1.9 percent or 1.2 million tonnes to 64.6 million tonnes from the previous year, with a fourth-quarter surge in shipments going to China, exporters said.


China took just over 13 million tonnes from South Africa last year, much of it in the fourth quarter as Chinese utilities filled stockpiles to capacity before the New Year holidays.
