The setting-up of silo towers for grain storage began at the construction site of the grain terminal of the global commodity trader Cargill in Yuzhny sea port. This was reported by the company M.V. Cargo which is carrying out the construction works.

"Domes of the two future silos are already assembled and ready for lifting. The installation of the silo roof, in which the grain will be stored, is the most labour-consuming process. It occupies about 70% of the total time of all installation. The domes of these two silos were assembled for three weeks. The roofs will be raised and built up by ring walls of a barrel-shaped warehouse. Each of the designs weighs about 150 tons," the company informs on its Facebook page.

A total of 14 silos for grain storing will be installed at the terminal.

The storage capacity at the terminal will reach 290 thousand tons. The complex will be equipped with 14 silos 15 thousand tons each and a floor storage of 80 thousand tons. The daily capacity for receiving and unloading grain from the railway will be 9,000 tons. The total amount of investments — USD 150 million. The terminal will provide for the transshipment of 10% of grain produced in Ukraine.
