Tata Steel MD T.V. Narendran says India will continue to source the bulk of its coking coal from Australia; however, he warns that India will seek other sources of coking coal if action is not taken to address bottlenecks at Queensland’s coal shipping ports. Narendran notes that India currently imports about 50 million tonnes of coking coal a year, and this will grow significantly amid expectations that the nation’s steel production will double over the next decade.

Shipments from the Abbot Point coal terminal in Queensland will be affected by a derailment on Aurizon Holdings’ Northern train line in the Bowen Basin. The incident will affect Glencore’s Newlands coking coal mine and BHP Billiton’s Goonyella/Riverside mine. Damage to the train line is expected to take about a week to repair, and the reduced supply could put upward pressure on the coking coal price, which has risen by 100 so far in 2016.

The Queensland Government has signed an agreement with Indian companies Adani and GVK for the use of an onshore site for dredge waste. The land was formerly owned by BHP Billiton. The construction of the Abbot Point coal terminal is expected to involve the disposal of three million cubic metres of dredge waste at the site. Initially, the companies planned to dump the waste in the waters of the Great Barrier Reef area
