Otmane El Rhazi : Australia iron-ore ports reopen as cyclone threat eases

Two of the world's biggest iron ore export terminals, Port Hedland and Dampier in Australia, reopened on Tuesday following brief shutdowns due to the threat of a cyclone that never materialised, the Pilbara Ports Authority said. Port Hedland, used by BHP Billiton and Fortescue Metals Group and accounting for about a fifth of all seaborne-traded iron ore was closed for 10 hours. Dampier, where Rio Tinto sends ore, was closed for 17 hours, according to the authority.
