Australia's Port Hedland is considering plans to increase its port capacity which could translate into an increase in the port's iron ore exports to 500 million mt per year through new terminals at Finucane Island and Lumsden Point, according to Australian daily West Australian.
Port Hedland handles production from mines owned by BHP Billiton, Fortescue Metals Group and Atlas Manganese in the manganese ore-rich Pilbara region of Western Australia.
