The cost of transporting coal in the Baltic ports increased 1.5 times during the month, reaching 15-25 dollars per ton, Kommersant writes. Compared to September, bull rates increased by 8-9 dollars. The increase in prices is caused by the competition between exporters for the capacity of the port against the background of the restrictions on deliveries in the Black Sea Azov basin and the restrictions of Russian Railways on transporting coal to Ost-Luga.
