  • Australia’s Port Hay Point recorded coal shipments of 2.66 mnt in Feb’26, down 0.7% m-o-m from 2.68 mnt in Jan, reflecting seasonal operational disruptions and weather-related logistical constraints in Queensland.
  • However, shipments surged 28% y-o-y compared to 2.08 mnt in Feb’25, supported by stronger coal export flows from Australian terminals.
