MELBOURNE- Australia's shipments of iron-ore to China from the world's top export hub of Port Hedland jumped to 38.7-million tonnes in April, data from the port authority showed on Friday.

Shipments were up by 10.6% from a year earlier, although they shrank by 4.2% from March's figure of 40.43-million tonnes, the data showed. Total iron ore shipments out of the port stood at 42-million tonnes, down from March's 46.7-million tonnes, which is the third highest on record.

Port Hedland is used by three of Australia's top four iron ore miners: BHP Group, Fortescue Metals Group and Gina Rinehart's Roy Hill.
