The total throughput for the 2018/19 financial year to date is 633.2Mt, a decrease of less than 1% from the same time last year.
The Port of Port Hedland achieved a monthly throughput of 46.6Mt, of which 46.2Mt was iron ore exports. The monthly throughput was a 2% increase from May 2018.
Imports through the Port of Port Hedland totalled 157,000 tonnes, an increase of 17% from the same month in 2018.
