Agrega La Estrella en Google ↗️BOGOTA. Colombian coal exporters will seek to take advantage of booming demand in Asia when the Panama Canal expansion is completed in 2013, shipping analysts and Colombian coal producers say.
Colombia, the world's fifth-largest exporter of steam coal, has been hit by falling demand in key European and US markets, and has been the only producing country unable to sell into Asia due to high freight costs.
Colombia is expected to export around 61 million tonnes of coal in 2009, roughly on a par with Russia and South Africa but below Indonesia and Australia. The biggest Colombian producers, including Drummond Coal, Cerrejon and Prodeco, do not expect to be making significant inroads into Asia but see some opportunities for spot sales. Brazilian energy company MPX Energia remains optimistic, however, that it will be able to sell coal into Asia via the expanded Canal.
