Taman Dry Bulk Coal Terminal (Russian: Таманский терминал навалочных грузов), also known as Okeko terminal is a coal terminal in Russia.
Location
Taman Dry Bulk Coal Terminal is located in Taman Bay, Krasnodar Krai, Russia.
Background
The Taman Dry Bulk Terminal handles fertilizers, iron ore, and coal.[1]
The Taman Dry Bulk Terminal (also called Oteko terminal) was a competing proposal to the RMP-Taman Dry Bulk Terminal in Taman port.
Oteko's ultimate owner is allegedly a Belgian businessmnan Michel Litvyak who received Russian citizenship in 2019.[2]
In 2018, two Russian coal companies, Sibanthracite and SDS, announced a strategic partnership with Oteko for shipping coal through its soon-to-be-completed coal terminal.[3] At that time, Oteko's existing terminal had a capacity of 20 mtpa and exported LNG, grains and other dry bulk commodities, but did not export coal. Russia-based holding company Oteko was funding the construction of the terminal. Construction of the new coal terminal was expected to be completed in 2018, but a shipping source close to the project said it was likely to have been postponed until at least 2019. Exports may target Turkey.[4]
Plans for the Oteko Terminal called for 60 mtpa of dry bulk capacity, including 50 mtpa of capacity for coal. Total costs of the project were estimated at US$8 billion, as of 2019.[5] The coal terminal was estimated to cost US$2 billion; as of October 2019, VTB Bank was the only financier for the coal terminal.[3]
The Oteko Dry Bulk Terminal was launched in March 2019. Oteko expected the terminal to reach its design capacity of 50 mtpa for coal by 2021.[3]
The Oteko terminal has struggled to attract customers. In August 2020, the government was considering subsidizing phase 1 of the Port of Taman in order to reduce the transhipment rate and focus on the export of more expensive coking coal.[6] If the subsidies were enacted, up to 20 mtpa of coal from the Kuzbass and the Novosibirsk regions could flow through the terminal.[7]In 2020, the Taman port handled 22.3 million tonnes of cargo in total, including 9.6 million tonnes of coal (43% of total cargo).[8]
In November 2021, the Oteko Terminal commissioned a new coal-loading facility with capacity of 8,000 tonnes per hour. Company officials stated that the dry bulk terminal would reach a capacity of 72 million tonnes by 2022.[9] In 2022, coal handling reached 30 million tonnes, 32% more than in 2021.[10] Plans to increase coal terminal's capacity to 72 million tonnes were still valid in mid-2023.[11]
In 2022, the terminal reached 35 mtpa capacity.[12]
2023 coal handling decreased to 25.5 million tonnes.[13] Coal handling volumes decreased even more significantly in 2024 as coal exporters diverted volumes due to high transhipment pricing.[14] In August 2024, coal transhipment was only 1.4 million tonnes. The high season on the railway and low export profitability were hampering transhipment volumes.[15] There was no news on further expansion of the terminal as of November 2024. However in November 2024 the company was hoping to export 100 million tonnes in the next 2-2.5 years and was referring to an order pipeline of 5-6 Mt monthly (or 60-72 per annum)[16]
In 2025, the terminal handled 18 million tonnes of coal, out of total 25 million tonnes of cargo.[17]
