Driving by falling volumes leaving the Seattle Customs District, overall coal exports for the West declined during the last two quarters of 2011. The Seattle District shipped a bit less than 4.9 million metric tons in 2011, but fourth quarter exports totaled less than 1 million and were down 22 percent from the previous quarter. Coal shipments from the Los Angeles and Anchorage Customs Districts were up slightly in the fourth quarter.
