First three vessels to come in at Grain Transshipment Terminal in Giurgiulesti

The Grain Transshipment Terminal located within the Giurgiulesti International Free Port (GIFP) on October 6 will receive the first three vessels.

Throughout October, about 25,000 tonnes of wheat and barley will be loaded on several vessels and exported to Mediterranean countries, reports, quoting a press release from Trans Cargo Terminal.

The three vessels are “Kaptan Adem” to be loaded with 1,850 tonnes of barley, “Spadina” to be loaded with 3,250 tonnes of barley and “Richmond” to be loaded with 3,300 tonnes of wheat.

The Grain Terminal was built by SC “Trans Cargo Terminal” SRL in cooperation with ICS “Danube Logistics” SRL, the general investor in GIFP.

The capacity of the terminal allows it to receive up to 3,000 metric tonnes of grains a day by means of railway and road transportation, but also to load maritime vessels with a capacity of up to 7,000 metric tonnes, with a loading speed of 300 metric tonnes per hour. The terminal's total storage capacity is 50,000 tonnes.

The total investments made in the project amounts to US$17 million.
