MBA Rosaria ship with the fourth batch of South African coal of 84,600 tonnes abroad is off the harbor of the Illichivsk port, although the ship does not enter the port, the port's press service has told Interfax-Ukraine.

"The ship will be able to enter the port when certain issues which are not linked to the port are settled," the press service said.

As reported, two ships with coal from South Africa are to arrive to Ukraine in December 2014: the Rosco Poplar bulk carrier with 77,800 tonnes of coal and the Bottiglieri Sophie Green bulk carries with 84,000 tonnes of coal will be accepted at Yuzhny port and Illichivsk port respectively.

By the end of 2014 Centrenergo's thermal power plants will be delivered 250,000 tonnes of coal from South Africa at $86/tonne ($110-112 per tonne taking into account costs for loading and unloading, transportation and other expenses).
