Coal is the whole story at Posyet, a specialised export terminal on Russia's Sea of Japan coast near the Chinese and North Korean borders. Operated by Mechel's Commercial Port Posiet, it ships steam and coking coal from the group's Yakutian and South Kuzbass deposits to Asia-Pacific buyers, with annual throughput in the range of seven to nine million tonnes after modernisation. It is not equipped for containers or general cargo; rail from the Siberian interior feeds the quays in step with the coal trade. Forwarders with boxed freight for the Russian Far East use Vladivostok or Vostochny/Nakhodka instead. Anyone handling Russian coal should also check current sanctions and customs status before booking.
