The port facilities under construction comprise an approaching canal, water areas of the auxiliary berths, coastal aids to navigation, a control-correcting station, and are designed to provide for:
- execution of a range of technological and organizational steps to enable reception of sea and river cargo supplied in the framework of the arrangement of the South and Tambey gas-condensate deposit;
- construction of a seaport and a liquid natural gas plant from 2014 till 2018;
- functioning of the seaport along with the operation of the South and Tambey gas and condensate deposit
