On July 19, 2021, the first vessel - the Belfuji bulk carrier under the flag of the Marshall Islands was received with grain at the new deep-water berth No. 40A of KSK, which is part of DeloPorts, a stevedore asset of Delo Group.
The mooring operations for placing Belfuji to the berth, carried out by tugboats of Delo Service Company, were carried out in the normal mode. Grain will begin to flow into its holds 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 receive grain carriers with a maximum carrying capacity of up to 50 thousand tons.
Commenting on the arrival and mooring of Belfuji, Igor Yakovenko, Chief Executive Officer of DeloPorts, noted: «The positioning of the vessel for loading at the new berth of KSK went smoothly, confirming all our calculations on the berth parameters and once again showing the high professionalism of the tugboat crews of Delo Service Company. In fact, this is the first sign of the opening of the path to new markets and new opportunities. 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».
