Project in a brief
MV Cargo is realizing the project of state-of-the-art grain terminal in the port Yuzhny (Odessa region) with annual throughput capacity of up to 5 mln. tons.
The new terminal is MV Cargo’s joint project with Cargill, one of the US largest global corporations. The project total value amounts to US$ 150 million. This is one of the major investment projects carried out in Ukraine as of late. The construction project is co-financed by EBRD and IFC via the joint senior loan of US$74mln.
Successful implementation of such a high-level project will be an encouraging sign for all other major investors considering various options to do business in Ukraine.
The new terminal will be able to handle over 10% of Ukraine’s grain exports annually. The terminal operations will contribute at least UAH 600 mln. to Ukraine’s budget per year. About 500 jobs will be established at the terminal.
The flat storage of the terminal and all related infrastructure have already been put into operation and are successfully used for grain transshipment. Commissioning of the entire terminal complex, including berth and silos is planned for the summer of 2018.

Deep-Water Parameter
Berth of 16 meters will make the terminal one of the deepest ports in the Black Sea. The depth will enable to handle vessels of up to 100,000 tons deadweight.

Technological Effectiveness
State –of- the -art equipment. The Cargill standards will apply for operations and services to ensure the highest possible quality and safety level.

Openness
With Cargill being served as the main client, other companies’ cargoes will be also handled at the terminal.

Transparency
MV Cargo is audited by Deloitte, an international company. Financial stability is monitored by EBRD and IFC.

Location
The terminal’s isolated location in relation to major population centers helps resolve problems, such as noise and dusting deemed challenging issues for the ports located near big cities.
