NLMK Group, an international steel company, set a record in steel product export transshipments in June. NLMK shipped 1.2 m t of steel, which is 65% higher than the average monthly export volume and 0.3 m t higher than the previous record set in December 2018. High shipment levels were enabled by the supply chain optimization programmes.

In close cooperation with Russian Railways, NLMK’s logistics team managed to ensure that trains moved quickly towards ports and railcars were quickly returned to NLMK Lipetsk, despite the increased load on the railway network.

Additional storage facilities were allocated in ports to accommodate NLMK steel shiploads. Having designated terminals and crane processing lines for loading rolled products, and efficient planning of ship booking and entry into ports contributed to boosting load-transfer intensity.

Product shipments through the Tuapse Seaport reached an all-time high (0.3 million tonnes). Slabs, rolled products, billets for long products, and iron ore concentrate were shipped to consumers in Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
