РЖД ожидает роста погрузки в апреле
План погрузки на сети российских железных дорог сформирован на текущий месяц в размере 3,42 млн т/сут. (102,6 млн т), что выше 3,40 млн т /сут. (105,3 млн т) в марте, сообщил заместитель генерального директора РЖД — начальник Центра фирменного транспортного обслуживания Алексей Шило на брифинге на этой неделе. Тем не менее ожидаемый результат на 2,7% ниже, чем годом ранее.
В РЖД ожидают сохранение тенденций I квартала. «В частности, мы берем в расчет снижение [относительно аналогичного периода прошло года] перевозок угля на 2,2 млн т в южном направлении, строительных грузов — на 1,2 млн т, а кроме того, мы видим уменьшение предъявления черных металлов и, как следствие, сопутствующих грузов — металлолома и железной руды. Пока заявки по поставкам металлургической продукции на внутренний рынок сокращаются, ожидаем потери в этом сегменте в апреле на уровне 1 млн т», — пояснил Шило.
Но во II квартале в компании ожидают улучшения ситуации. Планируется рост перевозок нефтепродуктов, зерновых грузов, а также минеральных удобрений. «Начинают оживать перевозки строительных грузов: во внутрироссийском сообщении сокращение немного уменьшается, видим увеличение предъявления в этом сегменте», — отметил Шило.
Значительное влияние на погрузку окажут объемы экспорта угля. В госкомпании ожидают некоторого восстановления отправок в южном направлении, которые резко снизились после прекращения отгрузок в феврале на Таманский терминал навалочных грузов (ТТНГ), принадлежащий компании «Отэко», ввиду высоких, по мнению грузовладельцев, ставок перевалки. В «Отэко» сообщили, что соглашение о возобновлении поставок достигнуто пока только с Распадской угольной компанией, входящей в «Евраз», с другими добывающими компаниями переговоры еще продолжаются.
Потенциал для прироста погрузки отмечается и на северо-западе, где есть свободные мощности по перевалке зерновых грузов.
Высокий уровень загрузки ожидается на Восточном полигоне, объединяющем Красноярскую, Восточно-Сибирскую, Забайкальскую и Дальневосточную железные дороги. Через так называемое «контрольное сечение КПМИ» (Комплексный план модернизации и расширения магистральной инфраструктуры до 2024 г.) Комсомольск-на-Амуре (Хабаровский край) — Волочаевка (Еврейская автономная обл.) в текущем году планируется перевезти 162,2 млн т различных грузов. Проектная провозная мощность на этом направлении на 31 декабря 2023 г. составила 173 млн т/год, таким образом, гарантированные мощности будут загружены примерно на 93,8%.
Предполагается, что из запланированного объема 111 млн т придется на угольную продукцию, 15 млн т — на контейнерные грузы, 13,4 млн т — на нефтепродукты, 6 млн т — на черные металлы. «По итогам I квартала прирост грузопотока через контрольное сечение составил порядка 2%. В то же время у нас достаточно много грузов идет по Восточному полигону во внутрироссийском сообщении, не доезжая до контрольного сечения КПМИ. Эта погрузка идет более высокими темпами, чем было заложено в планах, в том числе и потому что угольные компании Кузбасса выиграли тендеры на поставку продукции для потребителей из Хабаровского края», — сообщил Шило.

Australia’s IPL fertiliser sale process 'advanced'
Australia’s IPL fertiliser sale process 'advanced'
Singapore, 16 May (Argus) — Australian chemicals and fertilizer producer Incitec Pivot (IPL) said the sale of its fertilizer business, first proposed last year, is now in "advanced negotiations". The potential sale of Incitec Pivot Fertilizers (IPF) to Indonesian producer Pupuk Kalimantan Timur (PKT) is subject to agreeing and executing final binding transaction documents, although there is no certainty that any deal will be reached or that any sale will occur, IPL said its financial report for its October 2023-March 2024 half year on 16 May. While IPL considering the sale of its fertilizer unit first emerged in July 2023, it was unclear who the interested buyers were. PKT is a subsidiary of state-owned fertilizer group Pupuk Indonesia Holdings and has production capacity of 2.74mn t/yr of ammonia, 3.43mn t/yr of urea and 300,000 t/yr of NPKs. Should the deal eventuate, the Indonesian producer intends to continue supplying fertilizers to Australia, support the retention of IPF's workforce and grow IPF's business in Australia, PKT confirmed to IPL. IPL reported a 77pc year-on-year fall in its first-half earnings before interest and tax (ebit) to A$10mn ($6.7mn). This was mainly attributed to the closure of Gibson Island that was producing ammonia, urea, granular ammonium sulphate and diesel exhaust fluid AdBlue, as well as reduced manufacturing performance at Phosphate Hill in Queensland with a capacity of 1mn t/yr of DAP, MAP and specialty products. But its distribution business was supported by firm demand and a well-managed fertilizer supply chain with its first-half ebit more than doubling from a year earlier to A$27mn, which partially offset a weaker manufacturing performance.

Australia’s live cattle exports slip back in April
Australia’s live cattle exports slip back in April
Sydney, 16 May (Argus) — Australian cattle exports fell in April from a month earlier as demand from Indonesia waned, Department of Agriculture Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) data show. Live cattle exports fell by 20pc to 60,521 head in April, as Indonesian demand dropped by 16pc but still made up 86pc of the monthly total. Indonesian imports rose sharply in March , likely in preparation for the end of Islamic fasting month Ramadan celebrations in early April. Total exports may have also been affected by the continued wet season in northern Australia, supporting domestic prices and motivating producers to retain stock. The fall was partially offset by increased exports to Vietnam that rose by 37pc in April from March and comprised a 14pc share of shipments. January-April exports were 20pc higher than the same period of 2023. Australia as at 3 May has used 16pc of the total quota of 672,669 head of live male cattle under the Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, according to DAFF.

Texas barge collision shuts GIWW section
Texas barge collision shuts GIWW section
Houston, 15 May (Argus) — Authorities closed a six-mile section of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) near Galveston, Texas, because of an oil spill caused by a barge collision with the Pelican Island causeway bridge. The section between mile markers 351.5 and 357.5 along the waterway closed, according to the US Coast Guard. A barge broke away from the Philip George tugboat and hit the bridge between Pelican Island and Galveston around 11am ET today. Concrete from the bridge fell onto the barge and triggered an oil leak. The barge can hold up to 30,000 metric tonnes of oil, but it was unknown how full the barge was before the crash, Galveston County county judge Mark Henry said. It was unclear when the waterway would reopen. An environmental cleanup crew was on the scene along with the US Coast Guard and Texas Department of Transportation to assess the damage. Multiple state agencies have debated the replacement of the 64-year-old bridge for several years, Henry said. The rail line alongside the bridge collapsed. Marine traffic does not pass under the bridge. By Meghan Yoyotte Intracoastal Waterway at Galveston Send comments and request more information at feedback@argusmedia.com Copyright © 2024.

US inflation slows broadly in April
US inflation slows broadly in April
Houston, 15 May (Argus) — US consumer price gains eased in April, with core inflation posting the smallest gain in three years, signs the economy is slowing in the face of high borrowing costs. The consumer price index (CPI) rose by an annual 3.4pc in April, easing from 3.5pc over the prior 12-month period, the Labor Department reported on Wednesday. Core CPI, which strips out volatile food and energy, rose by 3.6pc, slowing from 3.8pc the prior month. The easing inflation comes as the Federal Reserve has pushed back the expected start of interest rate cuts after holding its target rate at a 23-year high since July 2023 as the US economy has continued to grow and generate jobs at greater than expected rates. Job growth however slowed to 175,000 in April, the lowest since October 2023, and job openings and wage gains have also slowed while a measure of manufacturing has contracted. The CME FedWatch tool boosted the probability of Fed rate cuts in September to about 72pc today from about 65pc on Tuesday. The energy index rose by 2.6pc over the 12 months ended in April, accelerating from 2.1pc. The gasoline index slowed to an annual 1.2pc in April from 1.3pc The food index rose by an annual 2.2pc, matching the prior month. Shelter slowed to 5.5pc from 5.7pc. Services less energy services slowed to 5.3pc from 5.4pc. Transportation services accelerated to an annual 11.2pc, led by insurance costs, from 10.7pc in the 12 months through March. On a monthly basis, CPI inflation slowed to 0.3pc in April from 0.4pc the prior two months. Core inflation slowed to 0.3pc from 0.4pc the prior three months. Energy held flat at a monthly 1.1pc. Services less energy services slowed to a monthly 0.4pc gain from 0.5pc. By Bob Willis Send comments and request more information at feedback@argusmedia.com Copyright © 2024. Argus Media group .
