On July 19, the first vessel – the “Belfuji” bulk carrier flying the flag of the Marshall Islands berthed at the new deepwater berth No. 40A of the KSK grain terminal, which is part of DeloPorts, a stevedore unit of Delo Group.
Grain will begin to flow into the holds of “Belfuji” on July 20 during the launching ceremony of the reconstructed KSK terminal.
Deep-water berth No. 40A, with a depth of 16.9 meters, was specially constructed for vessels of this class and more (with deadweight up to 100 thousand tons and maximum draft up to 14.4 meters).
Prior to its commissioning, KSK Grain Terminal could handle grain carriers with a maximum capacity of up to 50 thousand tons.
“The positioning of the vessel for loading at the new berth of KSK went smoothly, confirming all our calculations on the berth parameters. It is symbolic and logical that Belfuji will be received with the grain of our reliable business partner and the second shareholder of KSK Cargill,” Igor Yakovenko, Chief Executive Officer of DeloPorts, noted.
