Novorossiysk Grain Terminal (NRT, part of Demeter Holding) will build sites for the storage of non-hazardous bulk cargoes, their acceptance from railway transport and shipment to the sea. The transshipment capacity will be 400,000 tons per year, the company said in a press release.
It is specified that the oil tank farm will consist of five tanks for storing bulk cargoes with a total volume of 24.8 thousand cubic meters. A separate line with a capacity of 600 cubic meters per hour will be built for shipping to marine transport. The capacity of receiving bulk cargoes from railway and road transport and transshipment by direct method will be 400 cubic meters per hour.
Construction will start in the coming months, and it is planned to put all facilities into operation at the end of 2025.
"The comprehensive development program of the terminal involves its diversification, expansion of the range of cargoes, maximum utilization of existing capacities, including shallow-water berths. This investment project solves all these problems, and if it is successfully developed, it can be expanded to 35 thousand cubic meters of one—time storage capacity," said Vladislav Zhukov, Managing Director of NZT.
In total, 44 thousand tons of bulk cargo were handled by sea transport in 2024, which is 27% more than a year earlier. This became possible, among other things, due to the modernization of the site for receiving such goods from vehicles.
