Port Hedland Resumes Operations After Tropical Cyclone Mitchell
Port Hedland, the world's largest iron-ore export hub located in Western Australia, has resumed operations after being temporarily closed due to the threat of Tropical Cyclone Mitchell. The port was cleared on Friday as the cyclone developed off the coast of the Pilbara region. While Port Hedland has reopened, other ports in the region, including Ashburton, Cape Preston West, Dampier, and Varanus Island, remain closed. The cyclone intensified as it moved towards the northwest of Australia, affecting operations in this resource-rich area. Major mining companies such as BHP Group, Fortescue, and Hancock Prospecting utilize Port Hedland for their export activities.
