Kazakh coal transshipment through Russian Baltic and Southern ports reached 6.7 million mt in the first half of 2026, up 34% year-on-year from the same period last year. The increase was supported by rail cooperation agreements signed between Russian Railways (RZD) and Kazakhstan Temir Zholy (KTZ) in April 2025 to expand coal deliveries to Russian ports. Growth was also aided by the EU's July 2025 decision to exempt transactions involving certain Russian ports from sanctions when used for the transit of Kazakh coal.
