We plan to develop the business through expanding our own logistics solutions - from June this year we start shipment of oil products from refineries in central Russia by our own oil barges via inland waterways of the country. That will allow us to reach the guaranteed delivery volumes. With the commissioning of the Captain Ponikarovsky we plan to expand the geography of deliveries outside the Russian Federation."
