“Yuzhnaya” Coal Company: with the Eye to the Future
Abstract
The article is focused on the biggest coal company of Russian Eastern Donets region – “Yuzhnaya” coal company Ltd which has reconfirmed its leading position on the basis of its performance in 2012. The “Sadkinskaya” mine, which is the main coal production facility of the company, repeatedly surpassed the annual two-million coal production level in 2012 having produced 2 million 277 thousand tons of anthracite. The strategic course of “Yuzhnaya” coal company is to keep this annual coal production volume at the “Sadkinskaya” mine and increase by constructing new mines. But it isn’t easy to pursue this course in conditions of altered opportunities in the coal market and there being no protection for a domestic consumption against foreign expansion of low-grade coals and a variety of administrative barriers which have to be surmounted – all these things are discussed in more detail in the article.

Russian Coal Terminal at Latvian Port Ventspils - a Safe Point
of Energy Supply for Foreign Countries
Abstract
In October 2008 a special closed-type close transshipment terminal JSC “BALTIC COAL TERMINAL” which is unique across the Baltic republics both in terms of investment and technological solutions used for coal transshipment was commissioned in the deep-water nonfreezing port of Ventspils. The first phase alone where the cutting edge solutions and state–of-the-art machines were used saw the investment of over 78 million euros. The second coal terminal phase is expected to be completed by 2014 which will allow its capacity to be increased by 1.7 times, the capabilities of the company to be considerably extended and eventually make the company renowned as the most reliable and biggest stevedore company on the Baltic coast.
