Demonstrating Eastern ambition

摘要

Despite scaling back on its original plan to build a US$3.5-4 mill 30,000t capacity grain terminal at the Kherson port in Ukraine, Belgian-backed stevedore company European Stevedoring Ventures (ESV) is pushing ahead with its plans to have a "port facility in every East European country with waterways to the sea." Back in September, ESV received around US$800,000 in financing from parent Belgian grain traders Labeto and Meunerie Liegeoise in order to commission a feasibility study into building a terminal on a greenfield site close to Kherson port.
