THE NUTEP container terminal at the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk handled 294,000 TEU in the first five months of 2023, a year-on-year increase of 26 per cent, reports St Petersburg PortNews.
In May, NUTEP terminal (part of DeloPorts, the stevedoring asset of Delo Group) handled its five-millionth container since it was put into operation in 2004.
The NUTEP terminal was created from scratch in the port of Novorossiysk. As part of a large-scale investment programme, Delo Group invested more than RUB14 billion (US$16 billion) in the terminal expansion, constructing a unique deepwater berth and developed adjacent infrastructure, and purchasing modern equipment. This brought the terminal's capacity up to 700,000 TEU in 2019.
In 19 years of operation, the terminal has received 6,000 ship calls, the largest handled vessel was a container ship 299.9 metres long with a capacity of 7,114 TEU.
At the end of 2022 the volume of transshipment reached a record 582,500 TEU (+6.8 per cent compared to 2021). The terminal's share in the Novorossiysk port container volume is 67 per cent.
Said DeloPorts director general Igor Yakovenko: "NUTEP is the most modern container terminal in southern Russia. Today, with the reorientation of cargo flows and the launch of new services through Novorossiysk, we continue implementing projects to modernize the terminal: by 2025 we plan to upgrade the rear storage area, purchase and putting into operation new transshipment equipment."
