Rusal ships 2% more aluminum by rail in 10M - RZD
MOSCOW. Nov 8 (Interfax) - Russian aluminum giant UC Rusal's key smelters raised aluminum shipments by rail 1.9% year-on-year in January-October 2017 to 2.73 million tonnes, Russian Railways (RZD) said in materials, seen by Interfax.
Export shipments fell 1.3% to 2.34 million tonnes but domestic shipments soared 26% to 387,200 tonnes.
Alumina loading fell 1% to 5.87 million tonnes.
RZD's figures differ from Rusal's own, which are usually published later because, the aluminum company says, RZD reports aluminum shipped in containers as container cargo, without a breakdown for the type of cargo.
