Under Rosmorechflot Resolution No. NZh-48-r of February 21, 2019, the amendments have been made to data on the seaport of Ust Luga in the Register of Russian Seaports.

The corrections are linked to specifying the key technical characteristics of the seaport, particularly, the increase in the length of the berth front by 86 meters. This is connected to including the length of the western landing apron to the total length of the berth wall in the seaport. The landing apron is used for loading and unloading motor vehicles on ferries of the South-2 multiple transshipping center in the seaport of Ust Luga.

In addition, the capacity of cargo terminals increased in the seaport through the growth of respective indicators under the multi-role terminal due to switching it to coal conversion, as well as the increase in covered areas and open storages.
