SYDNEY, : Iron ore shipments to China from Australia’s Port Hedland terminal rose more than 11% in June from a month earlier, port data released on Wednesday showed.
Iron ore shipments to China from the world’s biggest iron ore port totalled 42 million tonnes in June, compared with May’s 37.8 million tonnes, the Pilbara Ports Authority said.
