Construction works continue as scheduled
NIBULON says its first high-capacity transshipment terminal in Dnipropetrovsk region, which is being built in Marianske (Apostolove district), will start its operation in June.
Occupational safety and public health are of paramount importance for NIBULON. Therefore, in connection with the spread of COVID-19 in Ukraine and throughout the world, NIBULON and its contractors (builders) immediately developed and implement a system of measures aimed at preventing the spread of coronavirus disease and insurance for each employee. We organized our activities in compliance with all the quarantine restrictions. Therefore, we saved the team and work in the usual way, developing Ukrainian economy.
The company continues constructing its new river transshipment terminal in Marianske (Apostolove district, Dnipropetrovsk region). It is important that working in compliance with all quarantine restrictions, all work goes according to plan. We are grateful to our employees and partners for such a responsible approach and proficiency.
TSKS-Stal Ltd (owner – Viktor Panasiuk) has finished installing metal structures of a truck-tipper. And the first grain unloading device from Kalynivskyi Machine Building Plant (director – Anatolii Ostapenko) is being installed there. The height of the skeleton of the transshipment terminal’s elevator tower has reached 29 m (out of 48 m).

The builders have already mounted 6 modern silos (4*2.3 thousand tons, 2*5.5. thousand tons) from NIBULON’s reliable partner AGI (Canada) at Zelenodolska branch. Unfortunately, in connection with coronavirus pandemic, the Italian subsidiary AGI EMEA S.R.L. delayed the sending of another batch of materials (under the contract it should be received by March 31). Therefore, the contractors will start mounting the remaining 10 silos in mid-May, when the materials arrive at the construction site. We are fine about that and we are grateful to the partner for the fact that the company manufactured the products in extremely difficult conditions. And it transports them by sea to speed up the process and to avoid additional delays when crossing borders.

And it can be repaired quickly, if necessary.
In June, the modern transshipment terminal of Zelenodolska branch will receive its first batch of grain, thereby launching positive developments in the region. When the branch is put into operation, the local community will receive new jobs, a socially responsible investor, stable revenues due to taxes paid, farms will be able to further develop at the expense of saved funds for grain transportation and build up agricultural potential, another 12.5 thousand trucks will be removed from Ukrainian roads, etc.
