Hunter Valley Coal Chain
The Hunter Valley Coal Chain (HVCC) is a method of coal delivery in New South Wales, Australia from (mainly open-cut) coal mines in the Hunter Valley to the Port of Newcastle and domestic coal-fired power stations in the Hunter Valley. The HVCC essentially follows the path of the Hunter River travelling south-east from the mining areas in the Hunter Valley to Newcastle.
The HVCC mainly deals in the sea-borne export coal trade, especially to Asia. It is one of six major coal chains in Australia:
The port of Newcastle is the world's largest coal export port. Rising demand for coal, particularly in the Asian region has resulted in a strong increase in the volume of coal exported through the port. In 2013 port throughput was 150.5 million tonnes, up from 68 million tonnes in 2000.
Coal generally goes through the following stages between mine and port:
In 2003 the Hunter Valley Coal Chain Logistics Team (HVCCLT) was established to improve the movement of coal from Hunter Valley mines to the port's coal loaders and then to markets across the globe. In 2009 the Hunter Valley coal industry went through a detailed view and major restructure of the contractual arrangements for the movement of coal. As a result, the Hunter Valley Coal Chain Coordinator (HVCCC) formally replaced the HVCCLT in August 2009 and expanded to include all Hunter Valley coal chain producers and service providers.
HVCCC coordinates the resources of port operators Newcastle Port Corporation, terminal operators Port Waratah Coal Services and Newcastle Coal Infrastructure Group, railway operators Aurizon, One Rail Australia and Pacific National, railway infrastructure managers Australian Rail Track Corporation and Producers.
The major coal producers in the Hunter Valley are:
Most coal produced in the Hunter Valley is sold directly by coal mines (producers) to overseas buyers. About 20% of coal is sold by traders who do not mine coal but act as agents or intermediaries in coal sales.
