Government to secure more space for coal and grain at ports, weakening other industries

Some port terminal operators will have to end contracts with contractors from various industries to make space for coal and grain, according to government plans accessed by 'Puls Biznesu'. 

"A political decision has been taken to terminate contracts at some port terminals. Priority will be given to transshipment and storage of coal and grain if agreements can be reached with the Ukrainian side to transport it to Polish ports”.

According to the interlocutor quoted by the media, such a move would mean blocking iron ore supplies, as a priority would be given to coal. The decision will ensure supplies for the energy industry but could, for example, weaken the steel industry, which also consumes a lot of coal.
