It soared to 55 million tonnes in 1982 and kept stable before slightly dropped to 50 million tonnes in 1988, after that it bounced back to 65 million tonnes in 2002.

However, this figure went up back and ended at just over 40 million tonnes in 2002. As for the pipeline, the goods quantities transported by it started from scratch and gradually rose to 23 million tonnes during the measured period.
