This week, QR also announced a long term coal haulage contract with BHP Billiton-subsidiary Hunter Valley Energy Coal (HVEC) in New South Wales. QR National Coal will transport product from HVEC’s Mount Arthur thermal coal mine by rail to the Port of Newcastle. This award comes off the back of additional contracts with Peabody Energy and Felix Resources, which will nearly double the company’s share of the Hunter Valley market to 30%, further supporting QR’s growth strategy.
