Ukraine’s Odessa port dry bulk traffic rises 21.5 percent

Shipments of dry bulk cargo from state-owned Odessa Commercial Sea Port (OCSP, Ukraine) in January-February 2012 totaled 2.69 million tons, up 21.5% over the same period last year, the port authorities said.


In February, handling of dry bulk cargo at berths operated by the company rose 15% from last year’s figure, to 1.35 million tons.


The growth was driven by a 230-percent surge in grain exports (412,500 tons) and a 106.9% gain in iron shipments (372,400 tons).


However, in the reporting period the port saw a decline in liquid bulk segment attributed to the lack of transit crude oil from Venezuela and Azerbaijan.

Cargo traffic at Odessa Commercial Sea Port (OCSP) in January 2012 increased by 29% year-on-year to 1,336,000 tons of dry bulk cargo, the company’s news release said.


According to Odessa port provisional data the monthly volume of metals and grain increased by147,000 tons and 333.9 tons, respectively. Handling of liquid bulk amounted to 651,300 tons.


"The decline in oil product volumes was caused by recent walkout of Kazakh oil industry workers.

Besides, there had been no crude oil deliveries from Azerbaijani and transits of Venezuelan oil to Belarus", the press release said.
