As per the opinion of freight service specialists of DVZD, the main reasons of unloading process difficulties occurring in the ports and oil terminals of Far East region in November current year are above-level cargoes at the berths and oil terminals due to unsatisfactory vessels calling at the port for the cargoes to be taken, repair of handling equipment (Vanino, Nakhodka, Possyet), enterprise’s impossibility to work under temperature difference etc.
As per DVZD, to make the situation more stable a number of conventional restrictions were introduced. Prohibition on coal loading at Vanino station to Vanino Commercial Seaport was introduced since November 10 as well as Nakhodka station to Attis Enterprise LLC and to Nakhodka Commercial Seaport OJSC.
Besides, coal loading at Possyet station to Possyet Commercial Port was prohibited since November 15, 2009..
In addition to prohibitions on coal loading, there are conventional restrictions introduced on oil products loading at Blyukher station to Vostokbumnker CJSC and to Transbunker LLC on November 18 - 22.
