The biggest Russian dry-cargo port will open in Kuban

The decision to build a new dry-cargo facility was discussed on Monday, November the 19th, by the Territory Governor Alexander Tkachev and Deputy Minister of Transport of Russia Victor Olersky.

– This project has great political and socio-economic importance for the region’s economy and for the whole country. From our part, we will do everything for this project to be implemented. Of course, the construction will require tens of billions of rubles and infrastructure development, but we hope that the investor and the management company will work hard for the interests of the Kuban. It will create new jobs and increase the tax base, said the Kuban’ official.

The future dry-cargo port of Taman will be the largest project of its kind in Russia. The planned turnover will be about 100 million tons of cargo per year.
– This will be the port of the new philosophy, deep, and it will allow our shippers to literally open up new markets. And that will make our economy more competitive, – said Mr. Olersky.
