Export Official Foresees Coal Export Growth Slower Yet
Mrs. Constance Holmes of the Coal Exporters' Association says US metallurgical coal exports will total 18-20 million tons to Canada and 39-43 million to the rest of the world for 1982. She notes a 60 percent metallurgical share, with Appalachia supplying most of it, while overall coal shipments trend down from 56 million tons abroad in 1972 to an estimated under 48 million this year. The coal itself will save the market, she adds, with world steel demand guiding future prospects.
