Port of Newcastle continues to set export records
Acting Treasurer John Hatzistergos today said the Port of Newcastle has finished 2009 on a high note with yet another monthly coal export record being set.
A total of nearly 8.97 million tonnes of coal was exported in December, beating the previous record set in October last year by 0.17 million tonnes.
Mr Hatzistergos said this is an excellent result for the Port and great news for the NSW economy.
”The continuing strong demand for coal comes on top of the new Hunter Coal Export Plan which will further boost coal export revenue and prosperity for the Hunter Region,” Mr Hatzistergos said.
