SYDNEY - Australia's Port Hedland, the world's largest iron-ore export hub, has resumed operations after cyclone Sean moved away from the port, the Pilbara Ports Authority said on Monday.

The port off the coast of Western Australia's Pilbara region, an iron ore-rich area twice the size of the United Kingdom, was closed on Saturday night over the threat from the cyclone.

Port Hedland is used by BHP Group, Fortescue and billionaire Gina Rinehart's Hancock Prospecting.

"We recommenced loading of vessels after Pilbara Ports Authority gave the all-clear, and our Port and Rail teams are returning to normal operations after high rainfall in Port Hedland," a BHP spokesperson told Reuters.

A spokesperson for Fortescue said that no major damage had been reported across any of its Pilbara operations, while Rio Tinto RIO said it will restore its operations after assessing the impact of flooding in its rail and port infrastructure.
