Australia begins the largest iron ore havens after the hurricane has fallen back
The largest port for iron ore in Australia is expected to reopen later on Saturday, after surviving any serious damage due to the serious tropical hurricane “Zelia”. The powerful hurricane swept the coast on Friday, about 60 kilometers east of Hidland harbor, where the main port for export of iron ore is located in the country. The storm was accompanied by strong winds of about 270 km per hour, which is enough speed to destroy the buildings and drop the electricity lines. However, Hidland Port avoids the most devastating damage done to the storm. The meteorological office said the hurricane has now lost it and dropped below the level of the tropical hurricane.

However, heavy rains have led to flooding in the Bilbara region, and the water level is expected to continue until next week, the authorities say. The effect of closing on trade and mining Although the Bilbara region has a low population density, the coastal city of Port Heidland contains about 16,000 people. The port was closed earlier this week, along with other regional gates that also export natural gas. Australia is the largest source of iron ore in the world as it is the primary metal for the steel industry 21% of the country’s total export of goods and services in the year ending in June 2024, at a $ 138 billion value ($ 87 billion).

It is noteworthy that the hurricane “Sean” was damaged by the attachment of a port that belonged to the company “Rio Tinto” last month, but the storm remained on the coast.
