Name of the Project
Yuzhni grain terminal construction project.

Location
The project will be located in the Port of Yuzhni, in the Ajalyk estuary, on Ukraine’s Black Sea coast, about 30 km from Odessa.

Client
MV Cargo.

Cargill signed a binding share purchase agreement with MV Cargo formalising their commitment with regard to the construction of the terminal in February.

Project Description
The project entails the development of a five-million-tonne-a-year, greenfield grain terminal and a berth that can handle vessels of up to 100 000 deadweight tonnes.
The first phase of the terminal development involves the construction of:
• rail intake facilities, with a capacity of four-million tonnes of grain a year;
• truck intake facilities;
• one unloading point suitable for (back) unloading trucks/tipping cars;
• a truck buffer area;
• grain-storage facilities – 14 silos and one flat storage with a 210 000 t capacity, and one flat storage with a 36 000 t capacity for multigrain storage or an 80 000 t capacity for single-grain storage;
• a grain cleaning and drying unit with a capacity of 150 t/h;
• a transport network of elevators and conveyors;
• a shiploader for loading of bulk grain on ships with a capacity of 2 000 t/h; and
• off site utilities.

The second phase of the terminal development includes facilities for liquid bulk, additional flat storage and a second shiploader that will increase capacity of the facility to up to eight-million tonnes of grain a year.
