Russian Port Exports First Rapeseed For Five Years

The Russian port of Novorossiysk exported it's first cargo of rapeseed for five years, says Artis-agro Export Ltd, one of the largest Russian exporters of vegetable oils, oilseeds and grains.

The 18,500 MT cargo completed loading on August 29, bound for Belgium they say.

According to the announcement, the vessel was loaded using the port's direct rail-car to ship system. This system of loading allows transshipping of grain cargoes which port terminals do not normally accept, and guarantees the quality of delivered cargoes, they say.
