Description
Coal tanker passing up the Hunter River, Newcastle, on its way to the coal loading terminals at Carrington and Kooragang Island.
Newcastle is home to the world's largest coal export terminal. Coal is mined in the nearby Hunter Valley and transported by rail down to the port. At any one time, up to 20 ships can be loading or waiting just off the coast to enter the port. The majority of the coal is used for electricity generation or steelmaking across Asia.
