For the third consecutive year, “NIBULON’s” elevator of Reshetylivska branch (Reshetylivskyy district, Poltava region) takes delivery of Ukrainian commodity producers. The complex was put into operation in November, 2006. Since the beginning of the 2009-2010 marketing year, almost 130 thousand tons of grain and oilseeds were accepted at the branch. It is one of the best results in Poltava region.

Two elevator complexes of “NIBULON” for receipt, storage and shipment of grain and oilseeds, which were opened on the 30th of October, 2009 within the frames of the investment project, successfully work in Globyne town and Romodan village of Myrgorodskyy region.

After the implementation of Investment project, in Poltava region there will be constructed 6 powerful elevator complexes, with a total capacity of 396 thousand tons. This should satisfy the needs of Ukrainian farmers who now urgently need to increase the elevator capacities. According to the General Director of “NIBULON”, Hero of Ukraine O. Vadaturskyy- “ Poltava region is the first region in Ukraine concerning grain yield capacity and our company is a leading exporter of grain.  I think that leaders should cooperate and be together to make Ukraine garner of the world.”

The best equipment from around the world

Equipment of the best domestic and foreign companies will be used for the construction of  the transshipment terminal in Gradyz’k: grain loading equipment will be supplied by "CIMBRIA UNIGRAIN A/S" (Denmark); grain cleaning equipment - "SCHMIDT-SEEGER AG" (Germany); driers - "Mathews" (U.S.);filtration equipment of "SIMATEK A/S" (Denmark); samplers - "RAKORAF"(Germany); hopper scales with capacity of 300 tons per hour "PRECIA-MOLEN" (Belgium); shiploader  - "TELESTACK" (Great Britain); truck weigh bridge - “Bulat” company (Ukraine); silos with a capacity of 60 tons – “Lord” (Ukraine); truck tipper – “Kalynivskyy Machine-building Plant” (Ukraine). Especially for the berth construction of the terminal shaped steel cleats made by "LARSSEN" will be supplied from Germany. Management of the company aims at using of the best advanced technologies to implement the ambitious investment project.

Construction organizations from all over Ukraine will work on the construction of a new facility: “Globynskyy Raiagrobud” (Globyne city); “Kremenchuknaftohimbud-invest” (Kremenchuk); Ltd “Stag” (Kremenchuk), OJSC “PMK 125” (Gradyz’k); “Promspetsbud” "(Kremenchuk); “Kremenchuk repair and installation company” (Kremenchuk); Ltd. “Shlyahbudmontazh” (Kremenchuk); “VoDniprobud” (Dnipropetrovs’k); Ltd. “Cherkasymiskbud” (Cherkasy); Ltd. “Pivden’transmontazh” (Kryvyy Rig); Ltd. “DAEM” (Yuzhnoukrayins’k); Ltd “Alliance-Laks”(Mykolayiv); Ltd. ”Universal” (Mykolayiv) and others.

Purity of intentions

During the construction of a new transshipment terminal in Gradyz’k ( Poltava region) NIBULON will adhere standards of environmental safety to preserve the unique nature of Kremenchuk Storage Lake coast. So during the construction of the terminal new advanced cleansing structures at a cost of 600 thousand UAH will be installed by NIBULON. Nine dust-trapping aspiration systems, equipped with modern high-tech filtration equipment of "SIMATEK A/S" ( Denmark) will be constructed within the territory of the terminal.

It is significant that the equipment on the terminal in Gradyz’k will meet all appropriate standards of environmental safety. Shiploader of parallel motion by "TELESTACK" ( Great Britain) at a cost of 181 thousand English pounds (more than 2 million UAH) will ensure effective dust balance due to complete set of dusting system and hermetic sealing of the structure.

It is scheduled to conduct dredging works to enable the passage of dry-cargo ships to the berth of the new terminal. Holding of such activities stipulates implementation of strong requirements in order to prevent the exhaustion of natural resources. With this view, the company will pay 106 thousand UAH to the local budget into the Environmental protection fund. The money will be spent for the revitalization of fish fund in the region.

It is expected that further dredging will have a positive effect on the environment of the region, because today the Gulf of Gradyz’k is sanded, that deprives fish of the opportunities to come here for spawning. This leads to significant losses of Gradyz’k fisheries that are famous outside Poltava region.

 

Investment project of “NIBULON” impresses with its conceptual plans - powerful elevator complexes that are being built in no time, represent a unique system of transporting of agricultural products by water. Every step of investment project implementation is a struggle: the struggle for the rights of farmers, for the image of Ukraine as an agricultural state, for the potential of our people - possibility to work properly for the sake of our Motherland.
