Noord Natie to launch a reefer cargo warehouse this year

The Latvia-based terminal Noord Natie Ventspils Terminals is planning to commission a warehouse for refrigerated cargoes in the autumn of 2011, the NNVT Board member Sergey Goncharov, speaking at the Baltic Forum in Riga, PortNews reported.


The storage facility encompasses 14,700 square meters. The warehouse is being constructed by an outside investor, Mr. Goncharov said, which has the terminal area in sublease. Noord Natie Ventspils Terminals will preserve the exclusive right to stevedoring operations at the warehouse.


Noord Natie Ventspils Terminals is a stevedoring company operating at the Free Port of Ventspils, providing services for container handling, timber, oversized, general and Ro-Ro cargoes. NNVT’s major stockholder is the Belgian stevedoring company Noord Natie (30%), other owners - the Latvian companies. In 2010, cargo throughput of the stevedore amounted to about 1.6 million tons.
