New data on coal shipments from New South Wales (NSW), issued by Coal Services, show that during 2013-14 there was an increase of 8% to 167 million tonnes. Exports to China were especially strong, despite forecasts of the boom ending, and grew 22%. China is now ranked behind just Japan and buys 23% of all coal exported by NSW. This figure had been a mere 1.1% in 2007-08. NSW Minerals Council CEO Stephen Galilee says the industry itself had always been confident of healthy conditions, in contrast with its critics in the environmental movement and elsewhere
