Tropical Cyclone Sean floods and damages key Rio Tinto iron ore facilities in Western Australia.

Tropical Cyclone Sean brought record rainfall to Western Australia's Pilbara region, flooding Rio Tinto's rail and port facilities. The East Intercourse Island port's railcar dumper, which handles significant iron ore shipments, was damaged and may be out of service for three to four weeks. This will impact first-quarter shipments, though Rio Tinto's yearly shipment targets remain unchanged.
