According to data from the General Administration of Customs, the amount of Russian coal shipped to China, which was 7.16 million tons in November, was 6.89 million tons last month. However, this is still over 4.08 million tons for the same period of 2021.
Russia's coal exports have been curtailed in recent months due to shipping bottlenecks, while freezing weather has made loading and transportation even more difficult.
But in the whole of 2022, with western countries refraining from trading with Moscow after the Ukrainian crisis and forcing Russia to divert its cargo and sell at high discounts, China's coal imports from Russia increased by 20% compared to the previous year and reached 68.06 million tons.
Indonesia remained the largest coal supplier to China in December and in 2022 as a whole, as Chinese state-owned enterprises prefer low-sulfur and low-ash thermal coal.
