OREANDA-NEWS. July 30, 2012. According to information of OJSC "Vostochny Port", 9,657,000 tonnes of coal were handled during the same period of the previous year.

"Such a high rate of cargo handling is the result of well-coordinated work of all members of one chain – from consignors to consignees. Moreover, we managed to reach such results thanks to the measures for modernization of the equipment, which have been implemented since 2010. I hope we will be able to keep up the pace and handle about 18 million tonnes of cargo by the end of the year", managing director of the port Anatoly LAZAREV says. In 2011, a total cargo handling made up 16,500,000 tonnes.
