NKHP Grain Export Terminal Says Repairs After Ukrainian Attack May Take 4 Months
NKHP is one of three grain terminals at Russia's main Black Sea export port of Novorossiysk.
Following the Ukrainian drone attack on August 12, repairs at the NKHP Grain Export Terminal could potentially take up to four months, according to the company that owns the facility. The attack has disrupted nearly all grain shipments through Black Sea and Azov Sea ports, which previously constituted 70% of Russia's grain exports.
The NKHP terminal, owned by United Grain Company, suffered significant damage, including a damaged loading gallery. Other terminals, operated by Demetra and Delo Group, sustained less severe damage or no damage at all, though operations were still suspended at the latter. The NKHP terminal, with an annual capacity of 7.1 million metric tons, is one of Russia's largest grain export terminals.
Russian authorities are currently considering eliminating the grain export duty and exploring alternative routes for exports, such as the Baltic, Caspian, and Far Eastern ports.
