Risoil Terminal commences new crop rapeseed shipment

Bulk carrier MG NEPTUNE is being loaded with new crop rapeseed at Risoil Terminal, a subsidiary of RISOIL S.A.

"If Risoil doesn't come to Neptune, Neptune comes to Risoil. This is the first Panamax to load with rapeseed at the port of Chornomorsk in the new season," comments Yevhen Sadovyi, CEO of RISOIL group of terminals, on Facebook.

RISOIL co-founder and director Shota Khajishvili adds that two more Panamax-type vessels will arrive at the terminal in the near future.

Risoil Terminal transshipped the highest volume of rapeseed among export terminals in Ukraine in 2020.

In the 2020 production season, rapeseed production in the country totalled 2.55 mln t on 1.11 mln ha. The crop yielded 2.29 t/ha on average.
