Seaway transport, meanwhile, stabilized relatively about 40 million tones from 1974 to 1978, where it started to rise exponentially to approximately 60 million tones, after which it plateaued for about 20 years before beginning to grow gradually again.

With regard to the remainder, the total cargo transported by railroad has gone through a chaotic downward at some extent between 40 million tones down to 20 million tones during the whole period but still reserved the volume of 40 million tones in 1974 and 2002
