Fortescue Metals Group has significantly reduced its debt and ramped up iron ore production since Nev Power succeeded Andrew Forrest as CEO on 18 July 2011. Fortescue’s "C1" cost of production was around $US50 per tonne at the start of Power’s tenure, but some analysts believe that it may have come close to achieving its goal of reducing this to $US13/tonne in 2015-16. Fortescue exceeded its full-year production target of 165 million tonnes, with shipments for the fiscal year totalling 169.4 million.
