Coal Outlook's Pacific Rim coal trade conference, proceedings
The market outlook for steam and metallurgical coal in the Pacific Rim countries of Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and others is examined by those most effected. Representaives of the electric power industry and steel indusry of the Pacific Rim countries discuss their future import needs in relation to their industrial expansion plans. Coal producers of the USA, Australia, and Canada assess their own and each others chances of obtaining a share in the Pacific Rim coal market. Both consumers and coal producers point to the US transportation costs and lack of large port capacity on the West Coast as two factors which will decrease the US share of the market. An analysis is given of the railroad industry of western US and descriptions are given of expansion plans for coal port facilities in the US and Canada. Separate abstracts were prepared for the thirteen papers presented at this conference. (CKK)
