Background

Berths 19-22 are intended for handling bulk cargoes including iron ore, coal, and coke. Operation capacity totals 5.4 million tonnes a year. Berths 16-18 and 23-26 handle bulk and general cargoes including coal.[1] The majority of the port's capacity is used for shipping iron ore coming from the Poltava Mining and Processing Plant - the largest Ukrainian exporter of iron ore pellets to Europe.

In 2018, the port handled 3.1 million tonnes of iron ore and 748,000 tonnes of coal.[2]

The port is designed for handling river barges and a number of small berths (up to 200 meters in length). Russian coal producer SUEK AG exported about 600,000 tonnes of coal annually through the port to Bulgaria, Hungary, Macedonia, Romania, and Serbia.[3]

As of November 2023, according the company's website, the port's capacity is 8.5 million tonnes.[4]

It handled 5.9 million tonnes of total cargo in 2022.[5] According to the company's annual report, coal handling volumes in 2022 were practically zero vs 0.17 million tonnes in 2021.[5] The port continued operations in 2023. [6]
