OREANDA-NEWS. December 7, 2009. The aggregated throughput of NCC terminals (FCT and NUTEP) in January-November 2009 amounted to 954,020 TEU (-13.1% comp. to January-November 2008).

The throughput of First Container Terminal (FCT, St. Petersburg) in November 2009 amounted to 101,804 TEU (+9.9% comp. to November 2008). This is a record-breaking cargo volume ever handled by FCT and any container terminal in Russia. The significant growth was due to new calls that increased import, especially reefer, container traffic. Despite almost full load of the terminal, well-managed traffic control system allowed FCT to work efficiently and continuously all the month.

In January-November 2009 FCT handled 851,395 TEU (-13.6% comp. to 2008).

The throughput of NUTEP (Novorossiysk) in November 2009 was 10,768 TEU (-13.8% comp. to November 2008). In January-November the terminal handled 102,625 TEU (-8.6% comp. to 2008).
