RZD to double rail capacity of Lavna port
NewsRussia plans to double the Lavna port’s rail capacity from 18 to 36-41 million tonnes annually, aiming to diversify trade routes and boost coal exports.
South Africa’s persistent rail problems have prompted mining firms to use trucks to transport coal to Richards Bay for export. According to some miners, road transport is four times more expensive than rail, so very high diesel prices are cutting into margins, but high prices for coal on the international markets mean that it is still commercially viable.
