Metallurgical coal represents only 24% of seaborne coal volumes, but around 34% of coal ton miles. Why? Its average voyage is around 6,000nm vs 3,600nm for thermal coal. For shipowners, simply knowing whether coal volumes are rising or falling isn't enough. Where and how far those tons move matters. That's exactly the kind of relationship explored in Coal 360, IFCHOR GALBRAITHS' new research service combining coal production and trade analysis with the implications for ton miles, vessel demand and freight. To introduce Coal 360, we've produced a free Coal Markets Companion Report highlighting some of the trends behind the service. Get the free report and discover Coal 360.
