The biggest iron-ore carriers ever built will be able to enter three Chinese ports, according to Vale SA, the world’s largest producer of the raw material used to make steel and owner of the vessels.
The northern Chinese ports of Dalian and Dongjiakou, and Majishan, near Shanghai, have the capacity to receive the so-called Valemaxes that are able to haul 400,000 metric-ton cargoes, the company said in an e-mailed statement yesterday. China is the world’s largest steel producer and iron-ore user.
