Reconstruction of the Linear navigation range of the Southern Approach Channel in the seaport of Ust-Luga has been completed

In October 2021, the reconstruction of the Linear navigation range of the Southern approach channel in the seaport of Ust-Luga was completed.

In accordance with the permission of the Committee of State Construction Supervision and State Expertise of the Leningrad Region dated 25.10.2021 No. 47-RU47507308-069K-2020, the reconstructed front leading mark of the Linear navigation range of the Southern approach channel was put into operation in the seaport of Ust-Luga.

Earlier, the construction of the rear leading mark of the Linear navigation range of the Southern Approach Channel in the seaport of Ust-Luga was completed.

The reconstruction of the range was carried out by FSUE “Rosmorport” as part of its own capital investment program at the expense of the enterprise. Construction and installation works were carried out in the period from July to November 2020.

As part of the reconstruction project, the height of the front leading mark has been increased from 20 to 35 meters.

The reconstruction of the front leading mark and the construction of the rear leading mark were carried out in order to ensure the possibility of using the Southern Approach Channel when a settlement vessel with a maximum freeboard height of 30 meters is located at berth No. 25 of the seaport.

The implementation of the project to reconstruct the Linear navigational range of the Southern Approach Channel has increased the level of maritime safety at the seaport of Ust-Luga.
