04.12.2020 NCSP Group's consolidated cargo turnover for January–October 2020 against the same period the year before

Normalized^[1] cargo turnover of the Group (LSE: NCSP, MOEX: NMTP) totaled 92.7 million tons (-21.9%).

Liquid cargo

Transshipment of liquid cargo amounted to 73.8 million tons, down by 23.6 million tons (-24.2%). The indicator was mostly affected by decrease in transshipment of crude oil (-32%, or 21.6 million tons) against the backdrop of a general decline in cargo turnover of this raw material in Russian ports, following the global trends caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and implementation of the OPEC+ agreement to reduce oil production from May 1, 2020.

Dry cargo

Transshipment of dry cargo amounted to 18.9 million tons (-11%, or 2.4 million tons), including 5.8 million tons of bulk cargo (+8,7%, or 0.5 million tons). The increase in bulk cargo transshipment partially offset the decline in ferrous metal and cast iron turnover, as their transshipment volume amounted to 8.1 million tons (-16.3%, or 1.6 million tons).
