Freight flows passing via Vostochny Port JSC in the first half of 2010 rose by 6% from the same period in 2009, to 7,359,100 tons, the company’s operational data said.
In June Vostochny Port handled 1,349,800 tons of cargo, 9% up from 2009.
In Jan-June the port’s specialized coal complex transshipped 6,128,400 tons of coal (+4%). In June, there were 1,127,600 tons of coal, 19% more than in 2009.
In six straight month the port’s universal transshipment facility has seen 1,230.700 tons of various cargoes (+13%). In June, the handled cargo volume dropped 22% to 222.200 tons.
"We are pleased with the positive dynamics of cargo turnover for the reporting period,” said Sergei Kushnaryov, Managing Director. “There was a slight decline in June at the Universal handling complex, caused by the recent tragedy at the Raspadskaya coal mine that supplied a third of all coal volume. The problem has been solved. We’ve signed contracts with the new supplier and the situation has stabilized. As a result of the current year Vostochny Port is expected to have handled over 17 million tons.
