Cyclone suspends loading at coal terminals

摘要

Coal export facilities at Dalrymple Bay, Hay Point and Gladstone in the Australian state of Queensland have suspended ship-loading operations on the approach of Category 3 cyclone Marcia, which is expected to make landfall between Mackay and Gladstone early Friday local time, port sources said Thursday. Operations at Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal, located 40 km (24 miles) south of Mackay, were suspended Thursday afternoon “as a precautionary measure,” general manager of port operations Greg Smith said.
