NLMK Group, an international metallurgical company, set a record for the transshipment of steel products for export in June due to increased demand in foreign markets. Consumers shipped 1.2 million tons of metal, 65% more than the average monthly export volume and 0.3 million tons higher than the previous record in December 2018. The high level of shipment was made possible thanks to the supply chain optimization program.
In close cooperation with Russian Railways, the company's logistics staff managed to ensure the rapid advancement of trains in the direction of ports and the prompt return of wagons back to the NLMK site, despite the increased load on the railway network .
Additional storage facilities have been allocated in ports to accommodate shiploads of NLMK's rolled steel. An increase in the transshipment intensity was facilitated by the allocation of separate berths and crane technological lines for the loading of rolled metal, as well as the operational planning of chartering and the approach of ships.
Historically, the maximum level was reached by the transshipment of products through the Tuapse seaport (0.3 million tons). Slabs, coils, billets for long products, iron ore concentrate were shipped to consumers in Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
