In January-May 2014, EVRAZ Nakhodka Commercial Sea Port handled 3.62 mln t of cargo (+20%, year-on-year), the company’s press center says.
Coal transshipment totaled 2.02 mln t, ferrous metal – 1.5 mln t. 20-pct growth in January-May should be attributed mostly to considerable increase of dry bulk cargo transshipment, the statement says. In particular, coal transshipment surged by 46%, year-on-year. Coal and ferrous metal make the core of the stevedore’s throughput.
In May 2014, the company’s throughput increased by 6% to over 802,000 t of cargo.
