OREANDA-NEWS. February 12, 2010. Haulage of construction materials and cement in Freight One freight cars to the coast tripled in 2009.

Gondola cars (2.3 million tons of gravel and sand) and cement (630,000 tons of cement) accounted for most of the haulage.

Construction materials and cement were delivered to the Black Sea coast for the construction of facilities in Sochi and rail infrastructure improvements-specifically, the construction of a second set of tracks.

The most active shippers to the Black Sea coast stations are OAO Novoroscement, OAO Mostovskoy Crushing and Screening Plant and ViVo LLC.

"Particular attention is paid to the transport of inert construction materials with circular routes from the stations of the Belorechensk Node-Labin, Mostovskay, Belorechenskaya and Andreyedmitrievka-to the stations of the Black Sea coast-Vesyoloye and Sochi," said Rostov branch director Vadim Zhukov.
