Port Taman Dry Bulk Terminal is located in Port Taman, on the coast of the Taman Bay in Temryuksky District, Krasnodar Krai, Russia. It handles coal.
Location

Background
The Port Taman Dry Bulk Terminal (also called Oteko terminal) was a competing proposal to the RMP-Taman Dry Bulk Terminal in Taman port.
Oteko's ultimate owner is allegedly a Belgian businessmnan Michel Litvyak who received Russian citizenship in 2019.[1]
In 2018, two Russian coal companies, Sibanthracite and SDS, announced a strategic partnership with Oteko for shipping coal through its soon-to-be-completed coal terminal.[2] At that time, Oteko's existing terminal had a capacity of 20 mtpa and exported LNG, grains and other dry bulk commodities, but did not export coal. Russia-based holding company Oteko was funding the construction of the terminal. Construction of the new coal terminal was expected to be completed in 2018, but a shipping source close to the project said it was likely to have been postponed until at least 2019. Exports may target Turkey.[3]
Plans for the Oteko Terminal called for 60 mtpa of dry bulk capacity, including 50 mtpa of capacity for coal. Total costs of the project were estimated at US$8 billion, as of 2019.[4] The coal terminal was estimated to cost US$2 billion; as of October 2019, VTB Bank was the only financier for the coal terminal.[2]
The Oteko Dry Bulk Terminal was launched in March 2019. Oteko expected the terminal to reach its design capacity of 50 mtpa for coal by 2021.[2]
The Oteko terminal has struggled to attract customers. In August 2020, the government was considering subsidizing phase 1 of the Port of Taman in order to reduce the transhipment rate and focus on the export of more expensive coking coal.[5] If the subsidies were enacted, up to 20 mtpa of coal from the Kuzbass and the Novosibirsk regions could flow through the terminal.[6]In 2020, the Taman port handled 22.3 million tonnes of cargo in total, including 9.6 million tonnes of coal (43% of total cargo).[7]
In November 2021, the Oteko Terminal commissioned a new coal-loading facility with capacity of 8,000 tonnes per hour. Company officials stated that the dry bulk terminal would reach a capacity of 72 million tonnes by 2022.[8] In 2022, coal handling reached 30 million tonnes, 32% more than in 2021.[9] Plans to increase coal terminal's capacity to 72 million tonnes were still valid in mid-2023.[10]
2023 coal handling decreased to 25.5 million tonnes.[11] Coal handling volumes decreased even more significantly in 2024 as coal exporters diverted volumes due to high transhipment pricing.[12] In August 2024, coal transhipment was only 1.4 million tonnes. The high season on the railway and low export profitability were hampering transhipment volumes.[13] There was no news on further expansion of the terminal as of November 2024. However in November 2024 the company was hoping to export 100 million tonnes in the next 2-2.5 years and was referring to an order pipeline of 5-6 Mt monthly (or 60-72 per annum)[14]
