The Coal Mining & Shipping industry involves the extraction and transportation of coal from mines to various destinations. This industry is responsible for providing the primary source of energy for many countries around the world. Coal is extracted from the earth through surface mining or underground mining methods. Surface mining involves the removal of overlying rock and soil to access the coal seam, while underground mining involves the use of tunnels to access the coal seam. Once the coal is extracted, it is transported to processing plants or directly to customers via trucks, trains, or ships.
