Cargo turnover at Russian ports totaled 816.7 million tonnes in 2018. NCSP Group’s cargo turnover amounted to 140.2 million tonnes in 2018. The Group’s share of cargo turnover at Russian seaports shrank to about 17% in 2018 from 20% in 2016, primarily due to a decrease in the volume of oil transshipments through Group facilities amid overall growth of cargo turnover at Russian ports by 94.7 million tonnes.
The growth in cargo transshipment at Russian seaports was driven by the increase in crude oil, coal and grain volumes.
