Grain Load and Discharge Ports

These notes say what the port name means in a MOSTAGRO stem. They do not list berth drafts or discharge rates. Those figures are not published here.

• Novorossiysk — Black Sea load port. The FOB term. Not a discharge port.
• Mersin — Turkish Mediterranean discharge. CIF includes freight and insurance to that port. Transit from Novorossiysk is typically 4–6 days.
• Alexandria — Egyptian discharge, named with Damietta. State buying moved from GASC to Mostakbal Misr in December 2024.
• Bandar Abbas — Persian Gulf discharge via the Bosphorus and Suez. The Caspian alternative is Astrakhan to Anzali, Neka or Amirabad.

Terms: FOB, CIF and CFR. The working version is on logistics.
