Russian steelmaker NLMK Group has announced that it doubled the volume of export container deliveries of electrical steel to 100,000 mt in 2015. As a result of expanding the range of container cargo handling operations, NLMK was able to save approximately RUB 110 million ($1.62 million). Currently, approximately 20 percent of all NLMK Group’s electrical steel deliveries are being shipped in containers.

NLMK Group stated that, compared to the use of railway cars, containers allow significant cutting of transportation costs for key destinations; reducing lead times; and minimizing the risk of damage in the process of transporting and handling the goods.
