Fourth ship with coal from U.S. for Centrenergo arrives in Ukraine

The fourth batch of steam coal for the needs of thermal power plants (TPP) of PJSC Centrenergo has arrived in Yuzhny seaport (Odesa region), the port's press service has reported.

According to its data, the bulk carrier OCEAN DALIAN delivered 73,000 tonnes of coal.

The report does not specify the coal grade, but Centrenergo previously announced a contract for the supply of only anthracite coal from the United States.

The press service noted that since the beginning of the year Yuzhny port has accepted 14 vessels with imported steam coal for state and private companies of the country with a total volume of over 900,000 tonnes. Several more coal batches for power plants are expected by the end of the year.

As reported, Centrenergo signed a contract with XCOAL Energy & Resources (the United States) to supply about 700,000 tonnes of anthracite coal by the end of 2017. The price of the first batch will be $113 per tonne, but it is not fixed and in future can vary, in particular, downwards.
