Overview

The primary direction of coal supplies – export to Asia-Pacific countries – is determined by the geographic location of the Elga deposit. The distance from Elga to the Vanino port is 2,018 km and approximately 2,500 km to the Vostochny and Posiet ports, which is much closer than from the Kuzbass suppliers. The Asia-Pacific market is considered the primary area for the sale of refined premium coking coal.
