Nibulon (Mykolaiv), one of the largest grain traders in Ukraine, is launching a new comprehensive project involving the construction of a port complex in Ochakiv (Mykolaiv region), which will become the base for the company’s fleet.
“Our company is starting to work on the implementation of a new complex project at the mouth of the Dnipro-Buzky estuary. The base for this project will be Ochakiv fish canning plant, whose property we purchased at an auction. That is why our investment program at the mouth of the Dnipro-Buzky estuary will include two parallel directions,” Nibulon CEO Oleksiy Vadatursky said on his Facebook page.
According to him, the matter concerns the construction of a port complex and the restoration of fishing industry, in particular, the processing and canning of fish, crustaceans and mollusks in the Dnipro-Buzky estuary.
“This is a complex project, therefore we are also considering the possibility of building a specialized fleet for the needs of this industry at our own shipbuilding plant,” Vadatursky said.
Nibulon was established in 1991. It is one of the largest operators in the grain market of the country.
DTEK has signed an agreement with the Danish manufacturer of wind turbines Vestas for building Orlivka wind power station (Prymorsky district, Zaporizhia region).
“The volume of investment in the project is about EUR140 million. We expect that the project will be completed by the end of 2019,” Maksym Tymchenko, DTEK’s director general, said during the signing of the contract.
The project, which envisages the construction of 26 wind turbines with a capacity of 3.8 MW each, is currently at the stage of completion of preparatory work. The main part of the construction work will begin in January 2019.
The capacity of the wind farm, which is the third project of the company in wind power, will provide electricity to about 200,000 households.
“We continue to implement our plans to increase the portfolio to 1,000 MW by the end of 2019, the total investment in these projects will exceed EUR 1 billion,” he said.
Nibulon (Mykolaiv), one of the largest grain traders in Ukraine, intends to build a port in the village of Oleksandrivka (Kherson region) in five years, the company said in a statement.
“This port is a great prospect for the development of the entire Kherson region. This is an extremely difficult task and very large investments, but our company can do this only in five years,” CEO of the company Oleksiy Vadatursky said.
According to him, Nibulon continues the implementation of the investment program in Kherson region. There are already two transshipment terminals of the company in the village of Kozatske and Hola Prystan, while next year the company plans to increase the capacity of the Hola Prystan transshipment terminal by 20,000 tonnes, as well as to expand the capacity of this enterprise for accepting rice.
The company plans in the next two years to reorient almost all of its cargoes to the Dnipro River and transport by water up to 4 million tonnes of products per year, which will allow reducing the load on the roads.
Nibulon cultivates 83,000 hectares of land. It exports agricultural products to more than 60 countries. The annual export volume exceeds 4.5 million tonnes.
