According to the Ministry of Transport of the Krasnodar Territory, several large investment projects are currently being implemented in the region, among other things, expanding the ability of the southern ports to transship grain. Among them is the reconstruction of the terminal complex for transhipment of grain crops in the Tuapse Commercial Sea Port (with an increase in the transhipment of grain crops from 2 to 3 million tons per year). The regional authorities also allocated the construction of a Taman bulk cargo terminal in the port of Taman with a capacity of 35 million tons of cargo per year (OTECO-Portservice LLC) and the Delo Group investment program for the modernization of the universal transhipment complex of KSK Grain Terminal.
The Ministry of Transport of the region notes that the implementation of the KSK investment program will increase its cargo turnover from 2.5 to 4 million tons. There is the possibility of mooring large-tonnage sea cargo vessels with a more significant deadweight and the ability to simultaneously moor at the berths of the KSK terminal, a complex of two sea vessels.
At the YugTrans transport forum on April 2–3, 2020, experts will discuss issues related to the development of transport infrastructure and outline key growth points for the industry in southern Russia.
