Now, grain arriving by truck will also be inspected outside the city – in Vladimirovka village. Thanks to this, the terminal will receive grain that has already been checked.
The new lab complements the main laboratory, which continues to work at the terminal. In them, the assessment is carried out on a number of factors, such as weight, moisture, presence of weed impurities, diseases and percentage of damaged grains.
Moreover, a “digital line” was previously arranged for grain trucks to access Novorossiysk, which minimized the load on the city’s road network by suspending vehicle traffic during peak hours and redirecting them to other parking lots.
“Additional grain quality checks outside of Novorossiysk residential areas will reduce the load on the city’s roads, making traffic freer and safer. And high-precision analysis and evaluation of products will significantly reduce the amount of low-quality grain on the market, thus protecting the interests of consumers”, said Igor Yakovenko, CEO of DeloPorts.
KSK grain terminal is the leader in grain transshipment in the Azov-Black Sea basin. Its capacity is 9 million tons per year, the terminal can handle vessels with cargo capacity of 100 thousand tons with draft up to 14.4 m. KSK has its own laboratory for grain quality control. Transshipment volume in 2023 amounted to 8.2 million tons, which is 37% more than in 2022. < Back to list
