“The start of work on the reconstruction of berth №3 of the port of Mariupol is an important step for the development and modernization of the port infrastructure and the improvement of the economic performance of the port community. The result of the implementation of this project will be a new life of the berth, the operation of which will be extended for another 50 years,” – said the Acting Chairman of the USPA Olexandr Golodnitsky.
According to him, as a result, the carrying capacity of the berth will be strengthened, the depths at the berth will be increased to 9.75 meters, which will allow to accept and handle vessels with a large deadweight, use more efficient loading equipment and technologies, optimize cargo handling conditions for cargo owners, attract new cargo flows and to increase the volume of cargo handling in the Mariupol port.
The reconstruction of berth №3 will take 16 months.
