In 2023/2024, the Delo Group’s Grain Terminal in Novorossiysk Increased Shipments by 20% and Processed a Record 9.2 Million Tons of Grain
The KSK Grain Terminal (part of DeloPorts, the stevedoring division of the Delo Group) processed a record 9.2 million tons of grain in the 2023/2024 season, which is 20% higher than the previous season’s figures. This achievement solidified KSK’s leadership in Russia in terms of grain shipment volumes, accounting for 28% of the deep-water ports in the Black Sea basin.
In April 2024, the terminal set an all-time record by exporting 1.03 million tons of grain. No other terminal in the country has yet achieved such volumes. This operational speed was made possible by the consistent implementation of investment and operational efficiency projects over several years.
“Thanks to the professional and efficient work of our team and the timely expansion of KSK’s capacities, our terminal has once again confirmed its leadership and reputation as a reliable partner for Russian exporters. The new season lies ahead, with new goals, and we are committed to maintaining our high service standards”, noted Igor Yakovenko, CEO of DeloPorts.
The Delo Group has been transshipping grain in Novorossiysk since 2007. The KSK terminal was built from scratch, with investments exceeding $500 million. In a short period, it became the largest in the region. The group continuously expands the capacities of its terminals in southern Russia, providing new opportunities for Russian exports. As previously reported by the founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Delo Group, Sergey Shishkarev, the throughput capacity of the grain terminal in Novorossiysk will be increased from the current 9 million tons to 10.5 million tons.
