KSK Grain Terminal set new daily record for grain handling with 36.214 tons
On August 18, 2022, KSK Grain Terminal (part of DeloPorts, the stevedore asset of Delo Group), set a new daily record for grain handling, exceeding the previous record by almost 1,000 tons.
In November 2021, the daily handling record was set at 36,214 tons; on August 18, 2022, it reached 37,180 tons.
These results were achieved mainly due to the improvements in operational efficiency. Now the loading process is managed by 2 operators simultaneously, dividing the unloading from the railroad and loading onto the vessels. This solution reduces the possibility of errors and emergency stops.
A number of improvements such as an increase in the frequency of loading machine movement from hold to hold, the switching of flows from various silos, steady filling of holds, and active flattening of cargo have increased the speed of loading grain into vessels.
Alexander Trukhanovich, the CEO of KSK Grain Terminal, commented on the achievement: “We are pleased to note that our investment development strategy is paying off.
Thanks to the operational processes’ optimization, we are ready to responsively implement loading and unloading operations and provide our customers with high-class services.
The Group will continue its consistent work aimed at improving the service quality in all segments of its business”.
