Kolmar intends to start supplying coal to India having commissioned the coal terminal in the port of Vanino.
After the construction VaninoTransUgol will be able to load large vessels.
At present because of the long logistics scheme and low deadweight such a cooperation is unprofitable.
Now the company has contracts for the supply of coking coal concentrate to Baosteel Resources (Hong Kong) and JFE (Japan). Negotiations with Vietnam are underway.
The first stage of the Vanino port terminal with the capacity of 12 million tons per year is expected to be commissioned in 2019. By 2021 the throughput will have increased to 24 million tons per year. (Ukrainian metal)
