Delo Group Terminal in Novorossiysk Has Set a Russian Record by Processing Over 1 Million Tons of Grain in April

The KSK grain terminal, part of Delo Group, has set an unprecedented Russian record by handling 1.03 million tons of grain in April. No other terminal in the country has achieved such throughput volumes yet.

The previous monthly record was set this February when KSK processed 900,010 tons of grain. For the entire 2023, the throughput volume reached 8.2 million tons, marking a 37% increase over 2022.

This rapid pace was made possible by systematic upgrades to the infrastructure and expansion of capacities. Over the past few years, the terminal has increased the intensity of cargo reception, expanded its storage capacities to 220,000 tons, and at the end of 2023, a third ship-loading machine was launched at KSK.

“The record grain throughput is a logical result of the planned development of Delo Group’s grain terminal. Over these years, the facility has developed a sophisticated modern infrastructure that meets the most advanced industry demands. Of course, the foundation of our success is our team of professionals, each dedicated to their work and striving for a collective result. Our record is aimed at supporting long-term growth across the entire grain industry”, noted Igor Yakovenko, CEO of DeloPorts.

Delo Group has been handling grain in Novorossiysk since 2007. The KSK terminal was built from scratch with an investment of over $500 million and quickly became the largest in the region. The group is continually expanding the capacities of its terminals in the south of Russia, creating new opportunities for Russian exports. As previously reported by founder and chairman of the Delo Group board of directors, Sergey Shishkarev, the grain terminal’s capacity in Novorossiysk will be increased from the current 9 million tons to 10.5 million tons. < Back to list
