WORLD MARKET The following comments and figures only apply to the seaborne World Market. They  are partly preliminary. World Market Bulk evolution Due to a strong 4th Quarter, the World Market could grow by some 5% representing  34-35 mill. t. Herewith, the World Market reached 719 mill. t, passing for the first time  the 700 mill. t level. (preliminary figures).Steam Coal (see table 2) The Steam coal market is divided into a Pacific and an Atlantic market. Bulk  exchanges between the two markets are of minor importance, the quantity represents  some 33 mill. t.  a) Pacific Market supply In 2005 the increasing steam coal demand on the Pacific market was on a smaller  growth scale. A special development was observed in China: China reduced its steam coal exports  by 15 mill. t and imported some additional 7 mill. t essentially from Vietnam (+4 mill.  t). The decreasing exports from China and its increasing demand of totally 22 mill. t  could be managed by the suppliers of the Pacific Area without having serious effects  on the price evolution. b) Atlantic Market supply In 2005 the Atlantic market grew stronger than the Pacific market. Especially the USA  and the UK increased their imports significantly. Coking Coal (see table 3) The coking coal market grew by 5% representing 8 mill. t and reached 188 mill. t. It is  to be noted that China covered its highly increasing coking coal demand for 72 mill. t  additional raw iron production with indigenous coal of 35-40 mill. t.Coke (see table 3) The World seaborne Coke market decreased in 2005 by 8 mill. t and will reach 22 mill. t. Steam Coal The prices for steam coal were sinking during the whole year and reached the level  of 50 US$/t- fob South Africa at the end of 2005. Coking Coal For the year 2005 (from May 2005 to May 2006) we observed historic top prices for  ?hard-coking-coal“ of 125 US$/t fob. First contracts show slightly sinking prices (-10  to -15 US$/t depending on the quality) for ?hard-coking-coal.  PCI-coal and ?semi-soft-coking-coal“ witnessed major prices losses and are more  depending on the evolution of the steam coal prices.
