The terminal was completed in early April and tested meanwhile.</p>

<p>The new complex in Dornești will allow the transhipment of 240,000 tonnes of grain and agricultural products per month (3 million tonnes per year), thus becoming a strategic point in streamlining the traffic of goods between Ukraine and the port of Constanța.</p>

<p>Grampet, controlled by local businessman Gruia Stoica, says it is the largest transhipment terminal for agricultural products in Europe.</p>

<p>"It is a remarkable achievement for Grampet, but also for Romania, and we want to thank our Ukrainian partners and all those who were involved in the completion of the project," said <strong>Gruia Stoica</strong>, president of Grampet Group.</p>

<p>The terminal is equipped with a wagon loading station (128 m long) and an unloading station (120 m long), which allow the simultaneous loading/unloading of eight wagons. The equipment is similar to that of the terminals in sea and river ports, which makes it possible to transport products without quality loss.</p>

<p>Founded 25 years ago, the Grampet group of companies is today the largest railway group and private logistics operator in Romania and Central and South-Eastern Europe.</p>

<p>Its flagship company - Grup Feroviar Român (GFR) - is the largest private railway operator in Romania, with a strategic position in key industries such as Oil &amp; Gas, Construction or Agriculture. At the same time, 20% of the transports carried out by GFR are international.</p>
