Australia: Iron ore shipments from Port Hedland, Dampier drop m-o-m in Jan’26

  • Iron ore shipments from two key ports in Western Australia’s Pilbara declined m-o-m in Jan’26 — Port Hedland by 3.3% to 49.22 mnt and Port Dampier by nearly 20% to 11.98 mnt, as per the Pilbara Port Authority.
  • Shipments declined due to seasonal cyclone disruptions in the Pilbara region, a Lunar New Year-related demand slowdown in China, planned maintenance at mine sites, and cargo timing adjustments at ports.
