TIS and Yuzhny find common ground

This first step hinges on the development of the Port Rules Book, a document which effectively registers the berths at the port.

This registration has been a controversial issue – sparking much of the acrimony between the two parties and escalating to the denial of a Zen Hua ship to the port when it arrived with cranes destined for the new TIS container terminal operations.

“This is the first step on the way to a complex solution” said Mr Kuzmenko. Full commercial launch of the terminal is planned for the first half of 2010.
