In January\u2013July 2025, transit shipments rose 38% year-on-year to 6.7 million tons \u2014 the highest level since 2017. For comparison, in the whole of 2024, transit amounted to about 9 million tons.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"432\" data-end=\"665\">Kazakh exports via Russia\u2019s Northwest ports in the first seven months of 2025 increased 19% year-on-year to 4.1 million tons, thanks to higher transshipment through the ports of Ust-Luga, St. Petersburg, and Vyborg.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"667\" data-end=\"856\">Meanwhile, deliveries through the Taman port almost doubled year-on-year to 2.3 million tons. Another 300,000 tons of coal were shipped by rail to Latvia\u2019s Ventspils port.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"858\" data-end=\"1010\">The sharp increase in Kazakh transit comes against the backdrop of declining Russian coal shipments through ports in both the Northwest and the South.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1012\" data-end=\"1461\">Export prices for Russian thermal coal at the end of June 2025 hit their lowest levels since late 2020\u2013early 2021, according to the Center for Pricing Indices (CPI). Coal with a calorific value of 6,000 kcal\/kg loaded at Taman port dropped 22% since the start of the year to $63 per ton, while prices at Baltic Sea ports fell 26% to $55 per ton. Falling export prices have reduced the profitability of Russian supplies.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1463\" data-end=\"1586\">By contrast, Kazakh exporters continue to maintain positive margins on shipments through both Baltic ports and Taman.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1588\" data-end=\"1728\">Transit growth is also supported by the fact that Kazakhstan is excluded from EU sanctions, which ban transactions with Russian ports.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1730\" data-end=\"1892\">Experts believe that from August to December, Kazakhstan\u2019s coal transit will continue to grow and is likely to exceed 10 million tons for the full year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":150154,"menu_order":0,"template":"","newscat":[9],"newstag":[],"issues":[],"class_list":["post-150153","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","newscat-novosti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/150153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"newscat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newscat?post=150153"},{"taxonomy":"newstag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newstag?post=150153"},{"taxonomy":"issues","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issues?post=150153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
