Decarbonising steel production with Hydrogen

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

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.

Shipowners have found stable dry bulk markets with narrow spot rate ranges and low scrapping, but recent trends show Capesize and Panamax rates falling.

Vale and Euroports Tarragona have teamed up to enhance Mediterranean iron ore logistics, marked by the Magsenger 10 delivering 110,000 tonnes from Brazil.
