According to Sergey Shishkaryov, the development of port infrastructure in southern Russia is becoming increasingly important under current conditions. In Novorossiysk, the Group owns the largest grain terminal in the region, KSK, which last year exported a record 8.2 million tons of grain, 37% more than the same period in 2022.
“We have invested over 500 million dollars since 2006 in extending the quay and increasing transshipment capacity. Today we see one million more than last year, which is 9 million tons of exports and a further increase in the terminal's capacity to 10-10.5 million tons of grain”, he explained.
Shishkaryov also noted that the grain terminal regularly sets new records. The terminal's berths handle vessels with a capacity of over 100 thousand tons. In January 2024, the terminal set a daily record by shipping 50 thousand tons, 25% higher than the previous achievement (September 2022).
Previously, Delo Group consolidated 100% of the shares of the KSK terminal.
The Group will also increase the capacities of its NUTEP container terminal in Novorossiysk to 1 million TEUs. This will involve extending its quay by more than 100 meters and enhancing the storage turnover of the complex.
