 *Newcastle* coal ship queue worsens

INCREASING congestion on the Hunter Valley coal chain means that customers
are sending ships to Newcastle before the coal is even out of the ground.

In its weekly summary of industry performance, the Hunter Valley Coal Chain
Logistics Team said exports had been cut by "stockpile constraints and coal
availability issues".

"There are 43 vessels in the offshore queue," the report said.

"Fifteen of these vessels have coal availability issues and are classed as
'dead'. An additional nine vessels did not have coal available when they
arrived."

The sudden surge in demand for Hunter coal appears to have surprised the
industry.

With the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission yet to approve a new
export quota system for the port, the ship queue topped 50 this month for
the first time in two years, before dropping back slightly in recent days.

The latest edition of the widely read McCloskey Coal Report described the
Newcastle situation as "festering".

"Meanwhile, Asia-Pacific thermal markets are being increasingly impacted by
the festering vessel queue at Newcastle, which topped 50 this week for the
first time in almost two years," McCloskey Coal Report says.

"Even buyers are acknowledging the congestion is probably adding at least
$US5 a tonne in demurrage to FOB [free on board] thermal coal prices."

One measure of Newcastle thermal coal, the GlobalCoal Newcastle index, is
registering a price of $US76.23 ($95.30) a tonne, substantially higher than
the Richards Bay, South Africa, price of $US64.08 ($80.10) a tonne. Big
queues have also formed at the Queensland coal terminals, Hay Point and
Dalrymple Bay.

The McCloskey Report said a "massive rebound from the dark days of economic
collapse in late 2008" had "sown the seeds of the current resurgence".
