Throughput of Russian seaports in 4M’2021 fell by 4.2% Y-o-Y
The decrease should be mainly attributed to the fall of liquid bulk cargo handling
In January-April 2021, Russian seaports handled 268.81 million tonnes of cargo, down 4.2% year-on-year, says the Federal Marine and River Transport Agency (Rosmorrechflot).
The decrease should be mainly attributed to the 12.6-pct fall of liquid bulk cargo handling to 138.67 million tonnes. Meanwhile handling of dry bulk cargo continues growing. In January-April, it rose by 6.6% to 130.14 million tonnes.
Throughput of seaports in the Arctic Basin fell by 6.8% to 30.94 million tonnes including 8.89 million tonnes of dry bulk cargo (-3.8%) and 22.05 million tonnes of liquid bulk cargo (-8.0 %).
