In January the Novosibirsk subsidiary of the First Cargo Company increased the ferrous metals transportation 1.7-fold YoY, to 38 thousand tons.
“The positive dynamics is due to the consumption growth on the domestic market and high demand from North-Eastern Africa and the Near East”, the subsidiary director Yevgeniy Dolzhenko said.
Ferrous rolled metal transportation grew by 95%, to 13 thousand tons, and steel billets – by 57%, 12.5 thousand tons, while that of slabs – more than 2-fold, to 10.5 thousand tons.
