KSK terminal broke several records in March

In March 2022, the KSK grain terminal, part of DeloPorts, the stevedoring asset of Delo Group, broke several records related to the transshipment of grain cargo through its capacities.
Compared to the March record of a last year, the increase in cargo turnover at the terminal in March this year amounted to 47%, almost 500 thousand tons were transshipped, the increase - more than 266 thousand tons. This achievement is the result of a whole list of record indicators in some areas of KSK operations. 
Specifically, during the twelve-hour shift on March 27-28 this year 112 carriages with grain were unloaded – it is 5 carriages more than the previous record set in 2021. During the same shift on March 30-31 this year 410 cars passed through the laboratory acceptance and cargo quality control (sighting) (the previous record of last year - 383 cars).
Thus, for a month, almost 3.5 times was broken in terms of received for unloading of grain trucks – more than 12 thousand against 3.5 thousand in March last year. Accordingly, the volume of grain cargo delivered has increased, 324 thousand tons and 91.4 thousand tons respectively.
In March this year terminal accepted a record 27 grain carriers for handling, 25 of them were loaded and discharged this month, two more are about to finish loading. 
Commenting the achievement, Alexander Trukhanovich, CEO of KSK, said: “On the one hand, the current difficult geopolitical situation has changed the grain supply logistics chain in the South of Russia and shifted a part of the additional cargo flow to our terminal. 
But we took this increase easily - the capacity of the terminal is designed for such large loads or even more. On the other hand, our work team, as it usually happens in difficult time, mobilized, and demonstrated their best qualities - cohesion and professionalism. First of all, March records in all areas of activity are its merit, as well as indicators of sufficient capacity reserve and excellent condition of KSK industrial equipment”.
