Russia: CEMROS has inaugurated a new cement terminal in Novocheboksarsk, located on the cargo berth of the Cheboksary river port. The facility is designed to handle up to 50,000t/yr. Supplies to the terminal will be routed from CEMROS’s Sengileevsky branch in the Ulyanovsk region. By using river logistics, the company aims to ensure direct deliveries from plant to consumer, reduce reliance on road and rail during peak seasons, and maintain stable cement prices. The terminal will primarily serve enterprises in the Chuvash Republic and Mari El Republic which are engaged in major infrastructure projects. Test operations at the terminal are set to begin shortly, with full capacity expected to be achieved by the start of April 2026.

“The terminal expands the port’s capabilities and strengthens its position as the region’s logistics hub. It’s an investment in the republic’s infrastructure and an additional resource for the construction industry,” said Vanifatiy Shaikin, general director of the Cheboksary port.

Denis Nazarov, director of procurement and logistics at CEMROS, said “We are creating a sustainable supply chain and a network of river cement terminals that reduce delivery distances and guarantee consumers direct access to our products. River transport in the Volga-Kama basin offers enormous potential to efficiently supply construction materials to key regions.”
