Baltic Coal Terminal’s throughput soars nearly twofold in Jan-Nov
The volume of coal transshipment through Ventspils-based Baltic Coal Terminal in January-November nearly doubled from a year earlier, to 3,715,405 tons, the stevedoring company said.
In November, coal volume handled at the facility was almost two times up from last year’s November, to 306,5 tons.
Baltic Coal Terminal is a JV of two companies: CJSC MPO Kuzbass and Ventspils Commercial Sea Port. In 2010, coal throughput of the terminal amounted to about 2 million tons. Currently, the coal handled at the BCT’s terminal is exported largely to the UK, Belgium, Spain and Morocco. The terminal’s indoor warehouse allows simultaneous storage of 210,000 tons of coal, (capacity - 6 m t/y). The two companies have invested in the first phase of the terminal EUR 80 million.
