Rusal continues the pattern of public groundless accusations against Norilsk Nickel and its team.

Reconstruction of the cargo terminal will give the ability to handle up to 45 pallets at the same time (a pallet is an aluminum plate with cargo weighting up to 2,6 tons; it is used to transfer goods from one plane to another without reassembly) in compliance with all necessary conditions of paperwork support. As a result cargo turnover of the terminal will reach 60-80 thousand tons annually. In case of increase of traffic flow, for example because of implementation of the “Open sky for cargo” project, additional modernization will allow to handle up to 200 transfer pallets at the same time.
