SHANGHAI, Aug. 22 (SMM) – Inbound arrivals of nickel ore to the Port of Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, totaled 6.42 million tonnes during the first six months of the year, up 24% from a year ago, Jiangsu Lianyungang Port Co., said in its half-year report.
A large amount of nickel ore arrived at the port in January before Indonesia introduced its export ban on unprocessed ore early this year. The arrivals tumbled following the implementation of ban, and then recovered after June due to demand, price and seasonal factors, it added.
