More Russian coal for Poland

摘要

Kuzbass Fuel Company (KTK), one of Russia's largest thermal coal producers, and Russian Railways (RZD) are to launch a second rail terminal in the Kaliningrad exclave this year to handle growing coal exports to neighbouring Poland. Due to different rail gauges in Russia and Europe, coal must be reloaded from Russian to Polish railcars, and the new terminal will sort and reload Russian coal exports. RZD is providing the necessary land, and KTK has earmarked around US$2.3M to equip the facility with machinery and equipment.
