First Valemax shipment to ArcelorMittal

Southern Ports and Gold Valley marked a milestone as MV Sifnos departed the Port of Esperance with 78,000t of iron ore.

Vale and Petrobras will enhance competitiveness and advance decarbonisation by testing and marketing renewable diesel, natural gas, and sustainable bunker fuel.

NSU and Vale will install five Anemoi rotor sails on a 400,000dwt VLOC, aiming to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by 6-12%.

Arc Infrastructure has launched Gold Valley Iron Ore train services, with the inaugural train transporting ore from West Kalgoorlie to Esperance.

Between January and August 2024, Chinese seaborne dry bulk imports rose 6% y/y, driven by inventory build-up, despite domestic concerns.

The deal is linked to Gold Valley’s Wiluna West Iron Ore Project and will commence on 30 September, starting with three return train paths a week.
