KIEV, Sept. 23 – A first vessel with coal from South Africa will dock in Ukraine on October 15-19, of Ukrinterenergo state enterprise Director Volodymyr Zinevych told reporters in Kiev on Tuesday.

"We expect that preliminarily on October 15-19 the first three vessels will arrive. We'll have to switch to the DDP price so that the seller pays for the delivery to station. This will be more expensive due to the value added tax, but we don't have any other options," he said.
