The transshipment hub under construction is intended for:
- Coal transshipment from rail to sea transport;
- Short-term storage of coal in open storage facilities;
- Vessel maintenance services (power supply from the berth, water bunkering);
- Customs clearance;
- Raising and collation of shipping documents;
- Other operations specific to the seaport (navigation safety, security services etc.)
Construction of the facility is planned in two stages, with a planned cargo turnover at various stages of the project as follows:
- Stage 1 – 12m tonnes per year;
- Stage 2 (maximum cargo turnover) – 24m tonnes per year.
