Radiant Unloads BHP Iron Ore in China as Trader Tests Curbs

A bulk carrier laden with BHP Group’s Jimblebar iron ore has discharged in China after weeks idling offshore, in a rare case of a trader pressing ahead with restricted cargoes despite an ongoing pricing dispute.

The Berge Mawson unloaded its cargo, owned by trading firm Radiant World, at the northern port of Caofeidian in the first week of January and has now left the country, Bloomberg ship tracking data show. The vessel saw lengthy delays after port storage constraints led to a backlog of ships waiting to offload cargoes.
