The grain terminal with an annual capacity of 5 MMT will be constructed in two stages, near berth 25, BlackSeaGrain reported citing UkrAgroConsult.
Railway facilities for receiving 4 MMT of grain will be built first, as well as grain warehouses, grain drying equipment, a transport network of lifts and conveyors, and a loading vessel with a capacity of 2,000 MT of grain per hour. The first development stage will include constructing a 422 meter-long berth with a 2,000 MT/hour portable loader.
