Australian Port Hedland iron ore terminal reopens after cyclone
Wednesday, 23 Feb 2011Australia's Port Hedland, one of the world's largest export terminals for iron ore, reopened on Wednesday following a two day suspension due to a cyclone.
Mr John Finch port's harbourmaster said "There was no damage and the cyclone just passed."
A cyclone bearing down on Western Australia on Tuesday has brought iron ore shipments from the world's top exporter to a near standstill as ports shut ahead of the storm.
Two of the world's largest iron ore terminals at Port of Dampier and Port Hedland have suspended operations as Cyclone Carlos builds and sweeps toward the country's northwest. Nearly all of Australia's around 400 million tonnes of iron ore exports are shipped from the two ports.
Gales with wind gusts to 110 kilometres per hour were slamming into coastal areas west of Port Hedland and were heading westward towards Dampier, according to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.
Cyclones are a normal fixture of an Australian summer but the national weather bureau has indicated that above average cyclone activity is to be expected this season due to a La Nina weather event.
