Major Australian Iron Ore Ports Reopen as Cyclone Risk Falls
Port Hedland in northwest Australia resumed operations on Sunday as Tropical Cyclone Mitchell headed south, while the Ports of Dampier, Ashburton, Cape Preston West and Varanus Island resumed activities on Monday, operator Pilbara Ports said on its website.
