VLADIVOSTOK, October 27, vladivostoktimes.com The “Mitsui & Co” Management had a chance to acquaint itself with the project of special-purpose grain terminal. The Commercial Port of Vladivostok official website informs that the Chiefs of the Mitsui & Co Departments, the company dealing with the grain crops import, had a business meeting with the Vladivostok Port representatives.

The possibility of grain transshipment in Commercial Port of Vladivostok is of interest for the Japanese businessmen; they are interested in construction of the specialized grain terminal in the port. The Japanese delegation is headed by Kanji KAWASAKI, the Chief of the Administrative Review Department of the Mitsui & Co Planning Division.    

The leaders of Commercial Port of Vladivostok believe that the port has a great appeal for the Japanese company as there is a necessity to increase the number of grain suppliers and develop the new logistic routes of delivering the grain to the countries of Asia-Pacific Region besides, currently, VMTP is making active arrangements in building of the grain terminal. Thus, Commercial Port of Vladivostok and SAHO Companies Group Co. ltd. have recently made an Agreement on arranging joint work in construction of the modern high-tech grain transshipment complex. What’s more, the RF Government tends to set up the Far Eastern grain corridor that is to favor the development of grain export from Russia to the countries of Asia-Pacific Region; so the specialized terminal should be built here. 

Mitsui & Co is the largest grain-trader in the South-East Asia. So they show great interest in all projects concerning the grain market and new market participants. During the talks Mr. KAWASAKI assured that Mitsui & Co is ready to participate in Vladivostok Commercial Port projects.
