Under Resolution No 11/18-rs of April 12, 2018 issued by the master of the seaport of Ust Luga, the earlier established temporary restrictions on ice navigation during the 2017-2018 winter navigation have been canceled in the water area of the seaport of Ust Luga and on the approaches toward it since April 12, 2018.

The cancelation of the restrictions has been conditioned by the stable above-zero temperature and the intensive de-icing of the water area of the seaport of Ust Luga.

During the winter navigation in the seaport of Ust Luga that lasted from February to April 2018, icebreakers of the North-Western Basin Branch have provided icebreaker support for 487 vessels, which have called at the seaport of Ust Luga.
