Containerised coal rail transports from Russia to China

TransContainer and the Siberian Coal Energy Company (SUEK), Russia's largest coal supplier, have partnered to send the latter's exports to China by rail and in containers.

Initially, TransContainer will arrange the transportation service via the border crossing in Zabaykalsk, meanwhile examining the possibilities of sending SUEK's coal through Zamyn-Üüd and Grodekovo.

Some 1.0mt/year of coal is estimated to be transported within the agreement.
