Press-release 
 
*NCSP Volumes for January Year 2017 Rose 6.4% to 12.7 mln tons* 
 
20.02.2017 
 
NCSP Group (LSE: NCSP, MOEX: NMTP) hereby reports that Group's consolidated 
cargo turnover for January 2017 increased by 6.4% (761 thousand tons) y-o-y 
and totaled 12 670 thousand tons. 
 
*Transshipment of liquid cargo* in January 2017 increased by 3.9% y-o-y (368 
thousand tons) and amounted to 9 787 thousand tons, including: 
 
- 6 634 thousand tons of crude oil, up by 1.6% y-o-y; 
 
- 3 040 thousand tons of oil products, up by 7.4% (209 thousand tons) y-o-y; 
 
- 78 thousand tons of UAN and 35 thousand tons of seed oils, which nearly 
doubled y-o-y. High growth was conditioned by a low base effect, 
improvements in the fertilizers market as customers stock up for the new 
agricultural season, and by the excessive production of oil seeds in Russia 
in 2016. 
 
*Transshipment of bulk cargo* in January 2017 increased by 34.5% y-o-y (334 
thousand tons), thanks to growth in grain and coal, and reached 1 303 
thousand tons, including: 
 
- 828 thousand tons of grain, up by 73.5% (351 thousand tons) y-o-y; 
 
- 108 thousand tons of chemical cargoes and 12 thousand tons of raw sugar; 
 
- 177 thousand tons of iron ore; 
 
- 178 thousand tons of coal, up by 45.0% (55 thousand tons) y-o-y. 
 
Grain is growing rapidly on the back of good export markets and record 
breaking harvest in 2016 in Russia. Coal volumes are driven by high seasonal 
demand from consumers in Turkey. Some iron ore shipments were rescheduled to 
February due to adverse weather conditions in Novorossiysk and the Turkish 
Strains, which caused ships to delay. 
 
*Volumes of general cargo* in January 2017 was growing in all categories and 
totally increased by 7.5% (78 thousand tons) y-o-y, reaching 1 116 thousand 
tons, including: 
 
- 963 thousand tons of ferrous metals, up by 6.2% (57 thousand tons) y-o-y; 
 
- 105 thousand tons of non-ferrous metals, up by 19.7% (17 thousand tons) 
y-o-y; 
 
- 34 thousand tons of timber and 14 thousand tons of perishable cargo. 
 
*Transshipment of containers* in January 2017 totaled 451 thousand tons or 
44 thousand TEU, growing 2.6% and 5.1% y-o-y respectively. 
 
*Other cargo *(bulk and general)in January 2017 totaled 13 thousand tons.
