In addition, August was a record month in the company’s activities in terms of volume of agricultural products loaded for export by fleet (without calling at ports, directly in the roads) – almost 300 thousand tons. Thus, our company transported about 60 % of grain for export by river transport. It should be noted that from the beginning of new 2018/19 MY, NIBULON has already exported about 965 thousand tons of grain. Comparing similar periods of previous years, it is the largest volume in the history of the company’s activities.
Thanks to successful implementation of the program to revive the Dnipro River and the Southern Buh River as the main transport arteries of Ukraine implemented by NIBULON jointly with the European Investment Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the International Finance Corporation and other international financial institutions of the world, in 2016, navigation on the area of 134 km of the Southern Buh River was restored after a 25-year decline.  In one year our company managed to surpass the record of cargo transportation along this river from the Soviet period by 10 times. So, in 80’s – in early 90’s of the twentieth century, a million tons of sand, stone, crushed stone and 50 thousand tons of grain were transported along the Southern Buh River per year. This spring, NIBULON passed a new milestone. It transported its first million tons of goods along the Southern Buh River, having removed more than 41 thousand trucks from the highway Voznesensk – Nova Odesa – Mykolaiv.  In addition, the company showed the best result in transporting goods along the main water artery of the region – 9,620 tons per one cargo trip. 
NIBULON’s shipping company transports not only grain but also other cargoes, such as well-known Kherson watermelons, metal, building materials (sand, piles, etc.), coal. In total, NIBULON’s shipping company has transported more than 12 million tons of cargoes by inland waterways. Therefore, 500 thousand trucks were removed from the roads.  
NIBULON actively redirects its cargo flows to water transport, each year increasing volumes of cargoes transported by inland waterways. In 2017/18 MY, NIBULON transported 2.5 million tons of products per year. In the coming years NIBULON plans to construct its fleet that will number 100 units in order to transport 4 million tons of grain per year.
