Ukrzaliznytsya, the State Railway Transport Authority of Ukraine announces it has revised the tariff terms for transit of commodities of the agreed discount rates with commercial seaports. The changes were made as well in the list of ports, as the railway tariffs rates, RZD-Partner.Ru IA reports. The changes are introduced until Q2 2010.

The Ukrainian SRTA statement said the Kerch CSP handling transit iron ore was replaced by Berdyansk port transshipping grain, alumina and feldspar in the list of agreed transit tariffs.
