PERTH, April 20 (Reuters) - Exports from Australia's
Newcastle port, the world's largest coal export terminal, rose
marginally from a week ago, while ship queues remained
unchanged, port data showed on Tuesday.
Exports from the eastern coast port, which ships mostly
thermal coal used in power plants, edged up 0.4 percent to 1.98
million tonnes in the week to April 19, Newcastle Port said on
its Web site.
There were 51 vessels queuing of the port waiting to load
4.1 million tonnes of coal. Waiting time for the ships fell by
about two days to an average of 15.87 days, the port said.

site.
