In January 2014, EVRAZ Nakhodka Commercial Sea Port handled 722,700 t of cargo (+44%, year-on-year), the company’s press center says.
Metal and coal traditionally make the core of the port’s throughput. Export climbed by 13%, year-on-year, to 348,000 t of ferrous metal.
Coal handling almost doubled: 346,000 t in January 2014 against 177,000 t in January 2013. The growth was driven by higher coal production of Evraz companies and extension of the capacity of the Group’s storage facilities as well as application of “honeycomb” method for coal storage.
In the first month of 2014, the port also handled aluminum, coke, timber and other cargoes. |
