Perth Now reported that Fortescue Metals Group has claimed BHP’s crown for shipping the biggest load of iron ore to ever leave Port Hedland.
Chinese iron ore behemoth MV Wugang Innovation was loaded with 247,906 tonnes of iron ore recently.
According to the Port Hedland Port Authority, FMG topped the previous record, set by BHP in June, by around 48 tonnes.
Mr N Power CEO of FMG said that the company had been breaking records across the port in recent weeks loading the highest number of tonnes in a 24 hour period through a single ship loader (210,981 tonnes) breaking the record for the highest number of tonnes loaded through a single shiploader over a seven day period (1.365 million tonnes).
Mr Power said the record setting is an examples of the company’s “can do” attitude.
