The record for loading export bulk cargo onto vessels at ports belonging to the Ukrrichflot company was set at the Mykolaiv river port on 5 January, when 25,700 tons of sunflower meal was loaded onto the Balkar Trust vessel.

A long-term partner of Ukrrichflot shipped this consignment of sunflower meal, which is a record for the river port.

The cargo was transported to the Mykolaiv river port in railcars and trucks and transshipped onto the vessel by the port’s floating cranes and watercraft.

The previous record was set in May 2016, when a consignment of 25,300 tons of similar cargo was loaded onto a vessel at the Mykolaiv river port.
