The October cargo were: facts and figures

In terms of transported goods GK Neolit Logistics one of the leading steel and takes iron and steel products. This is primarily due to the specifics of our region and the presence of many steel mills. Industry of Ukraine can not be imagined without a strong metallurgical complexes supplying steel products, domestic and foreign production. Cargo traffic began as a fundamental, largely determines the overall cargo traffic of goods. Therefore, we consider the relevance of the state of the traffic began in the intervening period and making forecasts for its further development.
In September, the trend of Ukrainian steel production finally began to be positive. This trend continued in October, having fixed a good indicator of domestic trade and seaports. The leader among seaports still is Mariupol.
Export shipments by rail, in general, made 0.99 million. Tons compared to September increased by 15%. Given the general decline in transit off-color metals through the ports of Ukraine to 0,050,000. Tons (53% compared with the previous period), such figures can be attributed to good. This trend growth while keeping it in the spring may have lead to the achievement of the July figures.
Mariupol ICC, becoming the third in terms of growth (52%), has secured a leading position in terms of shipments, which totaled 0.35 million. Tons. The leaders in terms of growth in steel production Ismail (312% from the previous volume) and the Dnieper-Bug (101%) ports. October shipments level still remains low due to the low level of shipments above ports in September. In the top three in terms of shipments also include Nicholas ICC (0.3 million. Tons) and Odessa ICC (0.25 million. Tons).
Plants for the production of steel products in October also showed good results. Total production increased by 123 thousand. Tons. Smelting volumes amounted to 1.9 million. Tons, thus ensuring growth of 6.8%. This fact has helped Ukraine to take 12th place in the world’s top steel producers. Significantly, the average output of steel per night in November fell by 2% to $ 58.4 thousand. Tons.
Leader in steel output “ArcelorMittal” (not less than the performance of the plant decreased by 3.1%). The second position burst “Zaporizhstal” with the volume of melt 0.37 million. Tons. Third in the ranking was “Iron & Steel Works” (0.31 million. Tons of crude steel), the fourth – MQM them. Dzerzhinsky (0.24 million. Tons). The top five Ilyich Iron and Steel Works (0.19 million. Tons). Leader in terms of growth in production was “Iron & Steel Works.”
Global steel producers are still concerned about the trend to lower prices for iron and steel products. Weak demand for ferrous metals and too low raw material costs led to a drop in prices by about 30-50 dollars per ton.
In general, the market is expected to slow and stop the declining price trend in December and January. Small remnant of the metal in warehouses and the need to replenish it for the successful production of metal-serve the cause and the expected conclusion of new supply contracts in February encouraging a prompt rise in prices for steel products.
In addition to the above, I want to express hope for a speedy recovery of the effective activity of metallurgical industry of Ukraine and to assure that the GC Neolit Logistics ready to implement any, even the most daring orders for transportation of steel products.
