Quite recently (Dec 7, 2012) 55 per cent in the seaport was bought by Mechel from the federal government.
Most of this stock is now being sold to domestic and foreign investors, with mere 1.5 per cent remaining in the Mechel’s ownership. The investors having no interests in reloading cargoes at Vanino, Mechel expects to use the seaport capacities for reloading its products.
