Sales of coal
Store Norske supplies coal for a variety of purposes, but the largest area is energy production. Half the coal is sold to coal-fired power plants on the European Continent. The largest recipient is Germany, followed by Denmark and Portugal. Store Norske also delivers to France, the UK, Greece, Poland and Norway.
In addition to coal for energy production, Store Norske has for several years supplied the steel-making industry. Coal is an important additive in iron ore smelting and in refining iron into steel. Other customers for Store Norske coals are cement, lime kilns, foundries and chemical enterprises.
The coal is shipped from the port at Kapp Amsterdam in Svea by 30 000-tonne (handysize) and 70 000-tonne (panmax) vessels. Hamburg and Rotterdam are important recipient ports.
