New project Production kicks off
As a spin-off to the Port Project the Production Project started in January 2022. Together with one of the key fertilizer producers in Europe we are currently investigating how to reach a significant technology leap not only when loading and unloading bulk fertilizers but also during transportation and production. In Q1 Race For The Baltic has presented various proposals for large investments related to transportation and production of bulk fertilizers to the board of a major company with the aim to reduce the phosphorus leakage in one of the largest ports around the Baltic Sea.
Whilst the Port Project is addressing the unloading and loading of dry bulk fertilizer in ports the Production Project will address additional and more production-oriented areas that has impact on the phosphorus leakage into the Baltic Sea. The identified areas have been found in close co-operation with fertilizer producers, ports representatives, other NGOs, business consultants and governmental agencies.
The project started with various introductory meetings with all the actors involved. We also travelled to Poland where we held several physical meetings.
The project kick-off coincided with getting on board a new Business Manager in the Race for The Baltic team - Mr Kamil Jagodzinski. Kamil has Polish as native language that reinforces fruitful discussions with the project parties involved.
We plan to extend our activities around the Baltic Sea with other fertilizer producers on board and we will present our activities and accomplishments during the conference Argus Fertilizer East Europe on June 22, 2022, in Warsaw. If you plan to be there, check us out!
