Possible delays due to flooding

24 Mar 2021 / Australian East Coast, Australia

Heavy rains and thunderstorms around the Central Highlands and coal fields over the past week have brought floods which may cause some delays at terminals at Mackay, Newcastle and Port Kembla.

At Port Kembla, ship loading ceased at the terminal on Monday morning (22 March) due to a slump in stockpiles as a result of the rain. The anchorage remains closed due to the adverse weather and will be assessed for possible re-opening tomorrow (25 March).
