Ukraine’s largest river shipper, Nibulon moved 3.5 million tons on the Dnipro and Southern Bug

Ukraine’s largest river shipper, Nibulon moved 3.5 million tons on the Dnipro and Southern Bug during the grain marketing year that ended June 30. Nibulon moves grain, metal, coal, fertilizers, construction materials, and Kherson watermelons. Joining a growing movement toward private rail wagons, Nibulon started last week to use a specially commissioned fleet of 20-grain hoppers. Each is capable of carrying 120 cubic meters of grain, 26% more than standard Ukrzaliznytsia cars.
