China, India and Turkey account for two-thirds of exports via Port Alliance terminals

China, India, and Turkey together accounted for two-thirds of exports moving through terminals operated by Port Alliance, according to a report from TASS. China was the leading destination by trade volume in the thermal coal sector, receiving 10.8 million tonnes of cargo, equivalent to 37% of the holding's total exports.

The figures highlight the continued importance of Asian markets, particularly China and India, alongside Turkey, as key destinations for cargo moving through the Russian port operator's terminals. Thermal coal, used primarily for electricity generation, remains one of the major commodities shipped through such facilities.

Port Alliance's export data reflects broader shifts in Russian trade patterns amid ongoing Western sanctions, with exporters increasingly directing shipments toward markets in Asia and other regions less affected by sanctions regimes imposed following the escalation of the war in Ukraine.

China's position as the largest single destination for thermal coal cargo underscores the country's substantial energy demand and its role as a major buyer of Russian commodities. Further breakdowns of exports to India and Turkey, or details on other commodity categories handled by Port Alliance, were not specified in the available report.

The report did not provide additional context on total export volumes or year-over-year trends for the terminals in question.
