NCSP Group reports on its consolidated cargo turnover for January-September 2020
NCSP Group reports on its consolidated cargo turnover for January-September 2020 against the same period the year before. Normalized cargo turnover of NCSP Group totaled 84.4 million tons (-21.3%).
Transshipment of liquid cargo was down by 20.6 million tons (-23.4%) to 67.5 million tons. The main drivers of this indicator's dynamics were a decrease in the volume of transshipment of crude oil (-31.8%, or 19.4 million tons) against the background of the overall decrease in such cargo turnover at Russian ports which was due to the global COVID-related trends and the implementation of the agreement OPEC+ from May 1, 2020 to reduce oil production. Transshipment of light oil products was up by 0.3 million tons (or +1.3%).
Transshipment of dry cargo amounted to 16.9 million tons (-12.1%, or 2.3 million tons), including 5.2 million tons of bulk cargo (+8.8%, or 0.4 million tons). The increase in bulk cargo transshipment partially offset the decline in ferrous metal and cast-iron turnover as their transshipment volume amounted to 7.2 million tons (-17.9%, or 1.6 million tons).
