“NIBULON” starts the revival of the Dnipro River as transport waterway of Ukraine from Kyiv region! On April 10, 2012 construction of the first transshipment terminal in Kyiv region of “Pereyaslavs`ka” branch will be started in Chyrs’ke village (Pereyaslav-Khmel’nyts’kyy district). Interaction of Kyiv administration and “NIBULON” is an example of partnership between authorities and business! This collaboration was started back in 2010 during the International Investment Forum “Integration and Partnership” in Kyiv. Investment plans of “NIBULON” to build a series of transshipment terminals and linear granaries in Kyiv region was first presented at the event. July 29, 2011 in Vyshgorod town (Kyiv region) the second investment forum of Kyiv region “Stability and growth” was held. Within the forum a memorandum “On partnership and cooperation” was signed between “NIBULON” and Kyiv Regional State Administration. This document defined the basic principles of transparent cooperation of the company and regional authorities. The terminal of “Pereyaslavs`ka” branch will be the second “NIBULON’s” facility in Kyiv region. On December 1, 2011 the solemn commissioning of a new modern elevator complex of “Denyhivs’ka” branch (Denyhivka village) was held under the guidance of the Head of Kyiv Regional State Administration Anatoliy Prysyazhnyuk. In addition, the investment project of “NIBULON” involves the construction of one more modern complex on shipment on water transport in Kyiv region in Stayky village (Kagarlyts’kyy district). Estimated cost of the facility in Chyrs’ke village amounts to more than UAH 160 million. Thus, “NIBULON” has already been investing USD 40 million in Kyiv region, out of USD 60 million planned! “These are the first steps to implement the reforms initiated by the President of Ukraine. Thus, we will get the result, which is extremely important to us today by creating the conditions for carrying out the reforms from the local level, contributing to production increases at the local level, pumping up budgets with revenues and creating more work places,” the Head of Kyiv Regional State Administration Anatoliy Prysyazhnyuk said. A modern transshipment terminal will be located on the land area of ​​over 5 hectares. 100 employees will work at the branch. Grain storage capacity will be 75.6 thousand tons, capacity of dryers – 3 thousand tons per day. The new transshipment terminal in Chyrs’ke village will become a northern gate of “NIBULON’s” fleet. From this place agricultural products will be transported along the Dnipro River to the transshipment terminal of the company in Mykolayiv city. Loading capacity on water transport will be 10 thousand tons per day. A berth with a length of 105 m and a width of 18 meters will be built at the terminal of “Pereyaslavs`ka” branch. A shiploader and other equipment to load non-self-propelled vessels (produced by «TELESTACK», UK) with a capacity of 500 tons / hr will be installed on the berth. The latest equipment of reliable and proven partners of “NIBULON”, such as Danish company «Cimbria Unigrain A / S» (manufacturing, transport equipment) and American company «SCAFCO» (granaries) will be installed at the terminal. A modernized six-sectioned dryer «MC 3180» of American company «Mathews Company» with a capacity of about 75 tons / hour will be installed at the terminal, the technical refitting was carried out by “NIBULON’s” specialists. A great attention is paid to the environmental component within the frames of the investment project implementation. A dust-cleaning equipment of top world level will be used in aspiration systems to purify air, such as filters of Danish company “Simatek” and German company “Schmidt-Seeger”. This equipment is so highly efficient that reduces dust concentration from 6000 mg/m3 at the input to 20 mg/m3 at the output and meets the highest European standards. In Ukraine the standard of permissible emissions for this equipment is 50 mg/dm3. The peculiarity of the geographical location of the new terminal will be its proximity to the Kaniv Reservoir. Therefore, in order to protect the aquatic environment from pollution, the technology of cleaning household wastewater using ultrafiltration membrane bioreactors produced by “MITSUBISHI” (Japan) will be introduced at “Pereyaslavs`ka” branch.
