Coal, ore and fertilizers: NTK exports reached 29.8 million tons Nine months of 2026 resulted in NTK growth in the eastern site: shipments to foreign buyers increased by 5.4%, to 29.8 million tons. "The change in the vectors of cargo flows in the network requires the operator to accurately link the needs of the shippers with the capabilities of the infrastructure," says Artyom Tikhomirov, head of NTC's analysis department. Coal still accounts for almost 90% of the volume: 26.5 million tons, 3.1% more than a year ago. The company delivered about 75% of this coal - 19.9 million tons - to the Far East terminals of the Port Alliance. Part of the cargo goes to China by land routes through border crossings. Iron ore transportation increased by 23.3% and amounted to 2.6 million tons. The company sent 2.8 times more fertilizer than a year before - 448 thousand tons. In the spring and summer, NTK expanded the fleet at the eastern training ground to 39,000 cars. The company checks the schedules of deliveries to customers in advance with terminal programs.
