IRON ORE--TRADE STRUCTURE CHANGING

This fourth of a series of articles analyzing bulk trade development and the implications for cargo handling techniques examines the past development and future potential for seaborne trade in iron ore, concluding that with trade volumes likely to reach a level of 360m/390m tons in 1985, investment in new and improved handling equipment is becoming increasingly necessary if iron ore ports and terminals are to provide the faster handling rates which sustained ore vessel size growth will require in the future.
