Marubeni Corp. will begin supplying coking coal from Australia and Canada to China under a long-term sales agreement with China’s largest coal importer. According to The Nikkei, under the recently concluded five-year deal with Winsway Coking Coal Holdings Ltd., Marubeni will export around 2 million metric tons (mt) to China annually. The new agreement gives it a long-term supply framework. The Chinese company imported around 8 million mt of coking coal in 2009, including most Mongolian coal shipped to China.
