Norilsk Nickel OJSC mapped out a trough logistics scheme to increase monthly exports volume from Monchegorsk to 2,100 tons of steel products, the company’s press release said.
Currently the company is preparing a trial shipment from the Norilsk industrial region as well.
Late June, NN shipped 797 tons of steel products (on the through transport scheme) from Monchegorsk to regional supply bases in Shanghai (PRC) and Baltimore (USA).
The logistics scheme includes loading of metal into large-capacity (30,48 tons) containers for international shipping lines at the company’s factories to be delivered to customers avoiding additional repackaging.
