DeloPorts (stevedoring holding of Delo Group) has started reconstruction of deep-water berth No.38 as part of the project to increase the capacity of the NUTEP container terminal in Novorossiysk. This will increase NUTEP's throughput capacity by 300 thousand TEU, up to 1 million TEU per year. The construction work will be carried out with no interruption to the operating cycle and is scheduled for completion by the end of 2027.The reconstruction will lengthen the berth front and create additional storage areas. After reconstruction, the berth length will increase from 390 to 600 meters, the berth storage capacity will grow from 3,080 to 4,830 TEU, and the area will increase from 4 to 6.4 hectares.
Deep-water berth No. 38, which is unique for the South of Russia, was commissioned in 2019. It enabled the terminal's throughput capacity to be doubled to 700,000 TEU. Total investment in the project amounted to $125 million.
“The extension of berth No.38 and, hence, the increase in the capacity of the container terminal will not only enable us to deliver a higher quality service to customers in the face of growing demand, but to form a safety margin for the future as well,” said DeloPorts CEO Igor Yakovenko.
NUTEP was established in 1994, and since 2002 it has become part of Delo Group of Companies. The terminal handles containerized, general and Ro-Ro cargo in the port of Novorossiysk. It is equipped with advanced high-tech equipment and has direct automobile access to the M-4 Don federal highway. Container turnover at the end of 2023 amounted to 602.5 thousand TEU (+ 3.4% vs. 2022).
