SYDNEY, July 13 (Reuters) - Australia's Coal and Allied , a 76 percent-owned subsidiary of Rio Tinto , said coal production in the June quarter rose 13 percent to 5.25 million tonnes versus the previous quarter.

It also said the impact of the Japanese disaster had affected its some coal shipments during the second quarter.

Coal and Allied operates three mines in New South Wales state producing coking and thermal coals, and was spared some of the heaviest flooding affecting production and transport from coal mines in neighbouring Queensland state earlier this year.
