In 2015, PJSC Sovfracht handled 1.7 mln freight tons at port Sabetta, the Company told IAA PortNews.
“Unlike the cargo operations of 2014, when Sovfracht provided cargo owners with a service package including organization of loading at the ports of Murmansk, Arkhangelsk and sea freight services, in 2015 the Company focused on transshipment of cargo at port Sabetta and on transportation of cargo to the customers’ warehouses on the Yamal,” the Company explained.
