Ferrexpo exports high-grade iron ore pellets to customers in Europe via rail or barge, or loads products onto oceangoing vessels at the port of Pivdennyi.

Last year, the company produced 11.2 million tonnes of iron ore pellets. It serves steel mills in Austria, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China, Turkey, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Vietnam and the US.

It was recently reported that Japan’s Nippon Steel was weighing alternative sources in Brazil and Australia to buy iron-ore to address a possible deficit amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
