A NEW 375,000-TEU annual throughput container terminal was launched in Novorossiysk, a port city on the Black Sea in southern Russia, reports St Petersburg's PortNews. 'We opened the terminal on July 28 and signed the first contract. It seems fair to say that we are at the beginning of a long way. The project implementation period is up to 2024', said Novorossiysk director Elena Khvostenko.
The terminal is part of Romex Group's logistic complex. Apart from the terminal, the complex will include a multi-temperature storage facility, which commenced July 2021, and a dry store that will be built in the second quarter of 2022.
'Our clients had faced the shortage of container storage facilities. The project is aimed at reduction of the company's expenses. Meanwhile, we offer integrated services: apart from opening a terminal, we are implementing a storage facility project. The terminal will have all types of special equipment. An essential function is charging, handing, and servicing of refrigerated containers', said Ms Khvostenko.
