13.02.2025 – 07:00 – Chiusura porti nella parte nord-occidentale dell’Australia.
I porti dell’Australia Occidentale di Dampier e Varanus Island saranno chiusi alle 18.00 (1000 GMT) di giovedì a causa del ciclone tropicale Zelia, ha dichiarato l’operatore dei porti.
Il porto di Dampier, che imbarca principalmente minerale di ferro da Rio Tinto, e Varanus Island, un centro di raccolta e lavorazione di petrolio e gas, hanno iniziato a sgomberare le navi, ha dichiarato Pilbara Ports in un comunicato.
Le chiusure arrivano dopo che mercoledì Pilbara Ports ha chiuso Port Hedland, il più grande punto di esportazione di minerale di ferro al mondo, utilizzato da BHP Group, Fortescue e Hancock Prospecting della Gina Rinehart.

She is making a run for Cat 5 intensity.… pic.twitter.com/tu6o52YRsW
