Bulk cargo In January–September 2018, transshipment of bulk cargo at NCSP Group's terminals increased by 9.4% or 1.126 million tons compared to the same period last year and amounted to 13.041 million tons. Bulk cargo turnover increased mainly due to the growth of grain transshipment volumes against the background of high yield in the last grain season (2017/2018) and record exports in the first month of the new season (2018/2019), which was facilitated by the excitement in the grain market caused by the news about the drought in the agricultural regions of Europe and Australia. Transshipment of grain increased by 26.6% or 1.983 million tons to 9.447 million tons. The volume of iron ore raw materials transshipment remained almost the same, having amounted to 1.854 million tons. Transshipment of coal decreased by 24.1% or 377,000 tons to 1.186 million tons due to lower purchasing power of consumers in Turkey amid ongoing devaluation of Turkish lira. Transshipment of chemical cargo and raw sugar amounted to 425,000 and 128,000 tons, respectively. Despite the growth of transshipment volumes, the share of NCSP Group in grain turnover of Russian ports increased (1.5 times, according to ASOP), due to a significant increase in exports of grain through small ports of the Azov Sea. General cargo In January–September 2018, transshipment of general cargo at NCSP Group's terminals increased by 7.9% or 819,000 tons and reached 11.159 million tons. Increase in general cargo transshipment was primarily due to the growth in cast iron transshipment related to active sales to EU countries and the expansion of sales markets (deliveries to Southeast Asia). Transshipment of ferrous metals and cast iron increased by 11.2% or 1.004 million tons to 9.991 million tons.
