Multimodal river hub – Rousse 

Combination of cargo handling, logistic services and industry

Location: Danube river, city of Rousse, Bulgaria

This is the newest project of Prista Oil Holding EAD. It started in 2018 and now is the process of engineering and construction. The aim is to build multifunctional an integrated river port with liquid and dry cargo warehouse storages behind the port area. Apart from the conventional transshipment services the port shall offer to the customers tailor handling and warehouse operations, together with added value services applicable for distribution activities directly from the port.

The port will offer multimodal transport connections: by river barges; by rail way cars; by trucks and including RO-RO opportunities.

Semi manufacturing activities shall be included as the target port area has access to natural gas supply and all other necessary utilities.

The Danube links 14 nations: Germany (Baden-Wurttemberg and Bavaria), Austria, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Romania, Bulgaria, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine (the regions along the Danube). Eight are Member States of the EU and six are not.

Together, the Danube region accounts for as much as 20% of the total EU territory and has 115 million citizens. Trade potential via the Danube river includes both export and import flows of products distributed along all the ports existing at the river. Four main capital cities are located on the river banks – Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest and Belgrade. Others like Bucharest- just 75 km from the river, and Munich at 140 km distance.

Floating STS terminal offshore Ukraine

In 2014 by the order of Lukoil, serving our mutual business, we participated in the development of a unique project: floating storage terminal in the international waters.

The floating terminal had a total capacity of 35,000 cbm and possibility to accommodate 8 different oil cargoes. This way our customers had swift decision for all transportation and trading tasks, because the system allowed:

1) acceptance of direct carriages of oil cargo from river barges
2) acceptance of railway delivered cargoes on the basis: RTC – port – shuttle – terminal
3) loading of on carriers regardless of their dimensions: MR, MR2, LR

Especially the possibility to form large parcels extended the trading pattern, giving direct access for products produced in Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan to the customers located in the Far East
