As the result of insufficient supplies of certain coking coal concentrates in Russia, Mechel OAO initiated imports from its Bluestone operations in the U.S. The first 73,500 metric tons (mt) of coal have already arrived to the Port Mechel Temryuk. Mechel said it intends to arrange regular coal supplies from U.S. to Russia for both internal use and regional Russian sales.
On July 1, the second Panamax ship was loaded with Mechel Bluestone coal at the Port of Norfolk. Mechel Bluestone has adjusted its production plan to increase output of coal grades substituting high-volatile grades for the Russian market.
