Hi again Robert,
Re the Hanjin naming system...rather than the mines, the vessels are actually named after the (mostly) Export Ports.
For example the largest..H-- DAMPIER and H--GLADSTONE are named after the huge Iron Ore Export port on the NW Coast of West Australia and the very busy Coal Export center in Central Queensland.
Similarly, the H--CAPETOWN, MADRAS and HAY POINT trio are named after Coal Export Ports. Hay Point is Australia's largest port by tonnage and includes the adjacent Dalrymple Bay coal loader. Both are situated about 45/50k south of the city of Mackay in North Queensland.
Today(Sunday) there are about 26 ships either loading, or at anchor waiting to berth!!
I stand corrected on this but I believe this complex is the largest Coal Export Terminal in the World!
Hope this info is of value.
Regards,
David D. :-)  :-)
