Modern Aqua Technology (Mykolaiv) plans to reconstruct the administrative building and garage located in the city of Kropyvnytsky with a total area of 605 sq m in the workshop for the production of fish semi-finished products with a daily processing capacity of three tonnes, the information of the Unified Register of Environmental Impact Assessment of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine says.
According to it, the company wants to convert the existing office building (area of 234.9 sq m) and a garage (370.9 sq m) into a workshop for processing freshly frozen and fresh river fish into fish semi-finished products, with a total capacity of up to 1.8 tonnes per day. The workshop will receive fish, carry out its sorting, defrosting, cleaning, cutting into fillets and portions, packing in plastic trays and cooling.
Modern Aqua Technology is also considering the option of installing equipment for the production of dried fish in the shop, but this measure requires large investments and carries increased sanitary risks, therefore, at the moment it is unacceptable for the company.
According to the register, the company intends to work 256 days a year in one shift. According to the document, the territory of the proposed activity is located at a considerable distance from the zone of residential and public buildings and does not imply a significant negative impact on the environment.
The operation of the processing plant is expected to increase the range of semi-finished fish products available in the region, create new jobs for the local population and increase revenues to the city budget.
According to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs, the ultimate beneficiary of Modern Aqua Tekhnology LLC (until February 2021 – Magnes Trade LLC) is Ivan Pohorily (Mykolaiv), whose main activity is the production of fertilizers and nitrogen compounds.
