Market participants do not agree with the plans of the state monopoly to introduce an additional tariff allowance for the transportation of empty gondola cars in the amount of 10% and raise ten times a fee for finding wagons on public ways. It is characterized as a crisis.
Products in the first half of the year were reduced by 3.7 percent, and the profitability of many companies went into a negative zone. Against this background, over eight months, loading metals in railway transport fell by 17.3 percent. If the use of railways becomes even more expensive, ferrous metals will have to be transported by vehicles.
The authors of the letter remind you that the situation with the high -earnings of empty wagons on public routes does not improve. It is difficult to find out about the reasons for such dimensions, therefore, consignors cannot challenge the fines that leads to additional losses.
The interlocutor of the publication in the cargo of the carriers noted that Russian Railways, who want to bring tariffs for an empty mileage of the economically reasonable level, are actually not executed. In terms of volume, exports are several times higher than import, so the wagons that delivered the load will still go back empty. Operators would be happy to take any passing cargo, because they themselves work at a loss.
The director of logistics and management of the commercial supply chain of Supply, Yuri Savvin, noted that Russian Railways will also hit the coal industry, where the situation is even worse than that of metallurgists and many other companies that can not cope with the current tariffs. He pointed out that the initiatives are called to improve the transport situation only worse, as they become a financial burden for senders. Tariffs limit the volume of production, because sales for export bring losses, and the domestic market can consume no more than half of the release.
previously reported that the government as a program for the support for metallurgists considers the provision of a deferment for taxes and a moratorium on bankruptcy cases. Market participants believe that such measures will not be enough, and for effective assistance, one should, inter alia, be resurrected by indexation of tariffs of natural monopolies.
