Cargo operations
01
Stevedoring (cargo handling)
Stevedoring is the terminal's core function: handling accepted cargo between a vessel, storage, road and rail transport. The operating method and responsibility split are confirmed after review of the cargo, nominated vessel and connected transport interfaces.
The approximately 40,000 m² total site includes covered and open storage. Specific areas, segregation and availability are confirmed for the project.
- Grain: wheat, corn, barley, soy, rapeseed
- Mineral fertilizers in bulk and big-bagged
- Ferrous metals, steel products, ore
- Break-bulk and general cargo
02
Storage & warehousing
Storage creates a buffer between the vessel and inland transport. The approximately 40,000 m² total site includes covered and open storage; the protection method, segregation and availability are confirmed for each cargo project.
Cargo types are kept in separate sections, so food-grade grain and mineral fertilizer never share space. Storage also lets a full vessel parcel accumulate before arrival to avoid demurrage, or a vessel discharge inland gradually.

Big-bag bagging
Bagging turns bulk cargo into ready-to-ship big-bags (FIBC) on the terminal. Our in-house filling line packs mineral fertilizer and other free-flowing bulk straight from vessel or warehouse, with automatic dosing, so cargo that arrives in bulk can leave bagged without a separate re-handling stop.
Bagging on site adds value before inland delivery: bagged fertilizer ships on standard flatbed trucks rather than specialised hopper wagons, keeps moisture out and cuts product loss. It is one reason fertilizer importers route cargo through New Energy.

Ship agency
Ship agency means New Energy acts as the port agent for vessels calling the terminal. We handle port formalities and documentation, liaise with the Izmail port captain and the Sea Ports Authority (USPA), and coordinate the services a vessel needs during its call. Foreign-flag vessels can call legally thanks to ISPS Code UAIZM-0019.
One point of contact covers the call from arrival to departure: berth coordination, customs and border formalities, and the documentation a master and owner expect. Standard maritime insurance terms apply because the facility is ISPS-certified.

Sea & river freight booking
Freight booking arranges cargo space on sea and river carriers for your shipment; it is not vessel chartering. New Energy books water transport along the Danube to Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Romania, Moldova, Czechia and Germany, and via the Black and Mediterranean Seas for river-sea class vessels, matched to cargo class, volume and timeline.
Booking pairs with handling, storage and customs under one contract, so a single operator is accountable from the berth to onward water transport. Bill of Lading and the port documentation flow are part of the service.

On-site customs procedures
A permanent customs control zone operates on New Energy territory, cleared by Odesa Customs. Clearance happens on site, so cargo is not moved to a dry port. This shortens the time from vessel arrival to release and removes one leg of insurance exposure; bonded storage is available within the zone for cargo awaiting clearance.
Customs clearance is carried out by the State Customs Service in the zone; export and import documentation itself is arranged by the cargo owner or their customs broker. We provide the on-site zone, certified weighing and the cargo data they need.

Multi-modal logistics
Sea and river vessels, rail wagons and trucks meet in one node. Certified truck weighbridges, on-site rail handling fronts and dedicated access for wagon delivery serve import, export and transit schemes. Cargo can arrive on one mode and depart on another without intermediate storage, which lowers the overall logistics chain cost.
Our owned vehicle fleet shunts cargo between berths, warehouses and rail fronts without third-party carriers. For long-term programs we negotiate fixed dispatch windows for wagon and truck delivery, so EU importers can plan inland delivery in advance.

- On-site rail handling fronts
- Direct access for loading and unloading
- Service for grain, bulk, packaged cargo, and steel products
Truck
- Certified truck weighbridges
- Owned vehicle fleet for on-site shunting
- Dedicated access road to the checkpoint
Customs & Security
- Permanent customs control zone
- Clearance with no transit to a dry port
- Emergency response service agreement (DSNS)
Frequently asked questions about services
How does your stevedoring differ from other Danube terminals?
New Energy is a private port operator and confirms its own contracted scope directly: cargo handling, agreed storage and the related terminal records. Carrier, broker, surveyor and other-party responsibilities remain separate and are recorded before the operation.
How is vessel-call eligibility confirmed?
The terminal holds ISPS Code UAIZM-0019. A specific call is confirmed privately after review of the vessel, cargo, agency appointment and applicable port formalities.
How does on-site customs clearance work?
A permanent customs control zone operates on the terminal, where the State Customs Service clears import and export cargo. Because clearance happens on site, cargo is not moved to a dry port, which shortens the time from vessel arrival to release. Export documentation itself is arranged by the cargo owner or their customs broker; we provide the on-site zone, certified weighing and the cargo data.
What's the typical clearance time at the terminal?
We do not publish a standard clearance time. Timing depends on the procedure, declaration and document readiness, customs decisions and the condition of the cargo file. The broker and responsible parties confirm the sequence for the actual project.
What does multi-modal handling look like in practice?
An agreed flow may connect a vessel, storage, road or rail transport. Direct handling and storage-based options are assessed separately; every interface needs a named responsible party, document set and fallback before cargo moves.
