OSTI ID:6913744

US coal producers and distributors shipped 665.3 million short tons of coal to domestic and foreign destinations from January through September 1986, 2.8 million short tons more than the amount shipped during the same time period of 1985. Nearly all (99.9%) of the coal that was produced and purchased during the first 9 months of 1986 was shipped. In contrast, shipments exceeded production and purchases by 1.6 million short tons during the comparable period of 1985 as producers and distributors drew from their stockpiles to help meet the demand. During January through September 1986: (1) Coal production was 0.7% higher and coal shipments were 0.4% higher than during the same time period of 1985. (2) Producers and distributors held stockpiles of 33.7 million short tons on September 30, 1986, 1.8% more than their stocks at the end of 1985. (3) Shipments for export were 7.8% less than they were 1 year earlier. (4) Domestic shipments to electric utilities and other industrial plants were higher while those to coke plants were lower, compared to the same time period of 1985.
