History
Founded by Sergey Shishkarev in 1993, the Delo Group began as a freight forwarding company in Novorossiysk.{{Cite web |date=2000-01-25 |title=СПРАВОЧНИК |url=https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/16391 |access-date=2023-07-18 |website=www.kommersant.ru |language=ru}} It quickly became the leading private operator of the Port of Novorossiysk, providing over half of all freight forwarding services.
Since 2002, the Delo Group has invested its own funds to build the NUTEP container terminal in the Southeastern cargo district of the Novorossiysk port.{{Cite web |date=2015-07-10 |title=Бизнесмен Сергей Шишкарев стал единственным владельцем крупного стивидора |url=https://www.vedomosti.ru/business/news/2015/07/10/600114-biznesmen-sergei-shishkarev-stal-edinstvennim-vladeltsem-krupnogo-stividora |access-date=2023-07-18 |website=Ведомости |language=ru}} In 2004, the terminal was launched and successfully handled its first container ship. In 2019, the Delo Group commissioned a remarkable deep-water berth, No. 38, within the NUTEP terminal. This berth has the capacity to accommodate ocean container ships up to 10,000 TEU. Later the terminal's overall capacity was increased to an impressive 700,000 TEU.{{Cite web |title=На НУТЭП пришли новые краны {{!}} 2019-04-24 2019-04-24 |url=https://seanews.ru/en/2019/04/24/ru-na-nutjep-prishli-novye-krany/ |access-date=2023-07-18 |website=seanews.ru}}{{Cite web |date=2019-09-06 |title=Группа копаний "Дело" ввела в эксплуатацию глубоководный причал в порту Новороссийск |url=https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/4082597 |access-date=2023-07-18 |website=Коммерсантъ |language=ru}}
In 2007, Delo Group of Companies made an acquisition of StroyKomplekt integrated plant, which is located adjacent to NUTEP, with the purpose of constructing a state-of-the-art grain terminal known as CJSC Grain Terminal KSK.

Subsequently, in 2013, the second stage of the terminal was put into operation, resulting in an increased capacity of 3.5 million tons per year. Notably, in 2021, the grain terminal of KSK JSC welcomed the inauguration of a deep-water grain berth, specifically Berth No. 40A, which enabled the terminal to handle ships with a deadweight of 100,000 tons. As a result, the terminal's throughput capacity now stands at an impressive 6 million tons.{{Cite web |date=2021-07-21 |title=ГК "Дело" ввело в эксплуатацию глубоководный причал в Новороссийске за 5 млрд рублей |url=https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/4909767 |access-date=2023-07-18 |website=Коммерсантъ |language=ru}}
