Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port Group (NCSP Group) has announced that its consolidated cargo turnover in January 2014 amounted to 10.9 million tonnes.
PJSC NCSP CEO Yuri Matvienko commented on January results: «Changes in group’s cargo traffic in the first month of 2014 versus January 2013 were dominated by trends like continuing redirection of crude oil exports, substantial rebound in grain with a low base effect, and adverse weather conditions, which affected bulk and general cargo volumes by complicating railcars unloading and ship loading operations».
