UPDATE 2-Fortescue iron ore shipments fall short after derailment

Australia's Fortescue on Wednesday logged a larger-than-expected decline in third-quarter iron ore shipments, following a derailment of ore cars and weather disruptions that also led to a slight cut in its outlook for annual shipments. The world's fourth-largest iron ore miner said it shipped 43.3 million metric tons of the steel-making commodity in the three months ended March 31, down from 46.3 million tonnes a year earlier.
