Despite this, shipping giant MSC has decided to enter the Ukrainian intermodal terminals market via its logistics arm Medlog.<\/strong><br \/>\n<span id=\"more-62482\"><\/span>The company acquired a 50% stake in N\u2019UNIT, a company operating intermodal terminals in Kharkiv, Dnipro and Kyiv. Moreover, Medlog bought a 25% stake in the container terminal in Mostyska, on the border with Poland and equipped to switch rail gauges, which is also part of N\u2019UNIT\u2019s network, as Forbes Ukraine wrote.<\/p>\n<h2>Reactions from the industry<\/h2>\n<p>Industry players have already labelled this move as the deal of the year. \u201cMSC\u2019s Medlog advances into the intermodal terminal market of Ukraine. Deal of the year that will have a long-lasting positive impact on Ukrainian logistics\u201d, said Volodymyr Shemayev, director of the Office for International Projects at Ukrainian Railways. \u201cMSC has not previously invested in Ukraine. Their interest in closing this deal amidst active hostilities underscores the exceptional performance and strategic value delivered by (&#8230;) N&#8217;UNIT\u201d, added Andrey Stavnitser, owner of P&amp;O Maritime Ukraine always on LinkedIn.<\/p>\n<h2>The deals in detail<\/h2>\n<p>More specifically, MSC bought the 50% stake in N\u2019UNIT from Yegor Grebennikov who kept the remaining half. He was also the owner of 50% of the terminal in Mostyska and sold half his shares to Medlog. The ownership of this terminal is now split as follows: 25% belonging to Grebennikov, 25% to Medlog and 50% to Lemtrans groups, controlled by Ukrainian billionaire Rinat Akhmetov.<\/p>\n<style>\n  .highlight-grid {\n    display: grid;\n    grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr);\n    gap: 20px;\n    max-width: 800px;\n    margin: 40px auto;\n    padding: 0 20px;\n  }<\/p>\n<p>  .highlight-box {\n    background-color: #005A8C; \/* RailFreight blue *\/\n    color: #ffffff;\n    padding: 20px;\n    border-radius: 12px;\n    box-shadow: 0 4px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);\n    font-weight: normal;\n    text-align: center;\n    min-height: 150px;\n    display: flex;\n    flex-direction: column;\n    justify-content: center;\n  }<\/p>\n<p>  @media (max-width: 600px) {\n    .highlight-grid {\n      grid-template-columns: 1fr;\n    }\n  }\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"highlight-grid\">\n<div class=\"highlight-box\">\n<p><strong>Kharkiv terminal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>18 hectares<br \/>16,700 sqm warehouse.<br \/>Own grain laboratory<br \/>15,000 tons grain storage capacity<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"highlight-box\">\n<p><strong>Dnipro terminal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>6 hectares<br \/>Steel production stuffing hub<br \/>2,000 TEUs capacity<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"highlight-box\">\n<p><strong>Kyiv terminal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>8,000 sqm covered storage<br \/>1,500 TEUs capacity<br \/>Fertilizers handling hub<br \/>28,8 million tonnes wood and grain stuffing<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"highlight-box\">\n<p><strong>Mostyska terminal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>36 hectares<br \/>Ukraine-Poland border crossing<br \/>Gauge-changing equipment<br \/>4,000 TEUs capacity<br \/>Grain transshipment<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n  .blue-box {\n    background-color: #005A8C;\n    color: white;\n    padding: 20px;\n    border-radius: 8px;\n  }\n<\/style>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The situation in Ukraine is still largely unstable due to the Russian invasion that has been ongoing since February 2022 and disrupted the global supply\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[72,16759,65,16760,8797,16761,89,16762,90,16763,47,341],"tags":[12634],"class_list":["post-218326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business","category-dnipro","category-intermodal","category-kharkiv","category-kyiv","category-lemtrans","category-medlog","category-mostyska","category-msc","category-nunit","category-rail-news","category-ukraine","tag-railfreight"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218326","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=218326"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218326\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":219857,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218326\/revisions\/219857"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=218326"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=218326"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=218326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
