China's import of coking coal, a key steel-making ingredient, is seen to rise 10 percent to reach around 50 million tonnes this year, with most of the rebound seen coming through in the fourth-quarter, two major Chinese players said on Wednesday.

Despite a double-digit percentage gain, the increase of around five million tonnes in terms of volume is seen as lacklustre compared with global coking coal export supplies of 240 million tonnes last year.

'We see 2012 imports at around 50 million tonnes and prices could be pressured because China will be receiving a lot of supply options from every exporter in the world,' Sun Xuefeng, manager at Sinosteel Raw Materials, told the Coaltrans conference in Beijing.

China is the world's largest coking coal producer and imports only around 10 percent of annual consumption.

China is poised to accelerate coal imports to take advantage of the cheapest international prices in 20 months relative to domestic supplies.The CHART OF THE DAY shows the price difference in southern China for thermal coal delivered from the northern Chinese port of Qinhuangdao compared with shipments from Newcastle, Australia. The gap expanded last month to as much as $8.30 per metric ton, the widest since August 2010, according to data from CLSA Ltd. Also tracked are China's monthly coal imports, which typically climbed as the price spread expanded.

'China's coal imports will probably increase due to the wide premium' of Qinhuangdao over Newcastle prices, said Helen Lau, a Hong Kong-based analyst at UOB-Kay Hian Ltd. 'The price gap could narrow with Newcastle prices rebounding on higher demand from China.' Newcastle is the world's biggest coal harbor. Sand maker:http://www.hxjqchina.com/product-list_57.html

Chinese demand helped a recovery in the regional seaborne coal market in 2009, when the world's biggest consumer of the fuel became a net importer for the first time as Chinese buyers snapped up cheap overseas supplies.

Rising imports this quarter may keep the price of Newcastle coal with a heating value of 6,700 kilocalories per kilogram, a benchmark grade for Asia, at an average of $112 a ton, Lau said. The price was at $101.55 on April 20, IHS McCloskey data compiled by Bloomberg show.The Chinese government seeks to encourage coal imports and cap annual domestic production at 3.9 billion tons by 2015 to curb pollution, according to a five-year plan released by the National Energy Administration in March. China's growing demand for mining machines impact crusher included electricity has been supporting domestic prices of the fuel.

China's coal imports rose for a second straight month in March, to 17.1 million tons, according to customs data published yesterday. Imports rose 10 percent from a year earlier to a record 183 million tons in 2011, according to Bloomberg calculations from customs data. China gets about 70 percent of its energy by burning coal in power stations.
