A NEW GRAIN TERMINAL AT VARNA PORT HAS BEEN PUT INTO OPERATION

AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THE FIRST PHASE OF AN INVESTMENT EXCEEDING 25 MILLION EUROS, THE PROCESSING OF A SHIP LOADED WITH WHEAT HAS SUCCESSFULLY CONCLUDED THROUGH A NEW SPECIALIZED GRAIN HANDLING SYSTEM AT VARNA-WEST PORT TERMINAL.
As a result of a significant investment partnership between two companies, "Port Varna" EAD and "Grain Terminal Varna West" AD, the system is now operational, representing a combination of technological innovations and infrastructure solutions aimed at enhancing the efficiency and competitiveness of both companies, as well as customers and traders across the region.
On October 6, 2023, at Berth 8 of Varna-West Port Terminal, the processing of the 180-meter motor vessel "HTK FORTUNE," loaded with 35,000 tons of Bulgarian wheat destined for Algeria, was successfully completed through the specialized facility. The grain is exported by "Kofco International Bulgaria" EOOD. The newly implemented processing system allows achieving loading rates of 450 tons per hour or approximately 10,000 tons per day at a single working point, marking just the first step in expanding the port's grain processing activities.
The first phase of the investment includes the modernization of the cargo handling process through the use of a specialized grain loading machine "Ship loader," technological conveyor belts, and pneumatic conveyors, combined with newly built infrastructure for grain reception, automatic sampling, and storage. All of these components provide optimal conditions for ship loading and high-productivity grain processing, ensuring accuracy while employing environmentally friendly technology.
Within 12 months, the delivery and commissioning of new comprehensive technological equipment are expected to conclude, allowing a double increase in loading rates at specialized facilities. The ship loading rate is anticipated to exceed 20,000 tons per day, enabling parallel specialized processing of multiple grain-loaded vessels, ensuring a total export capacity of over 35,000 tons per day. The grain storage capacity built up to this point stands at 100,000 tons. The finalization of the investment processes will guarantee full utilization of the warehouse and port infrastructure capacity, enabling the processing of over 2 million tons of grain annually solely through Varna-West Terminal.
These investments align with forecasts and provide opportunities for additional growth and expansion in the grain production and trading sector. The implementation of the high-capacity processing system and infrastructure improvements represents a crucial strategic step, strengthening the positions of the companies in the grain processing market and confirming the commitments of "Varna Port" EAD and "Grain Terminal Varna West" AD to modernization and innovation in business. This entrepreneurial initiative will reinforce the companies' positions in the grain processing market and contribute to the stability and growth of both entities.
