Amendment made to data on the seaport of Vostochny in the Register of Russian Seaports

Under Rosmorrechflot Resolution No. ZD-77-r of March 04, 2020 an amendment has been made to data on the seaport of Vostochny in the Register of Russian Seaports.

The corrections are linked with increasing the square footage by 17.4 ha and respectively decreasing the area of the water area of the seaport of Vostochny due to the fact that an artificially created plot of land was put into operation in 2016 to place facilities of the port infrastructure of the 3rd stage of coal-loading complex in the seaport of Vostochny.

Moreover, the Register includes the changes linked with increasing the number of berths in the seaport at the cost of putting into operation Berth No. 51 in July 2019 as part of the 3rd stage of the coal-loading complex in the seaport of Vostochny.

Bulkers of CapeSize class with the length of up to 260 meters, the breadth of up to 40 meters, deadweight of 180.000 tons and draught load of up to 16 meters can be handled on Berth No. 51 of 300 meters in length and 16.5 meters in the depths at the jetty head. At the same time, the Rosmorrechflot resolution specifies the performance of the capacity of cargo terminals in the seaport and the space of open storages.

For reference:

The FSUE “Rosmorport” Far Eastern Basin Branch has 18 berths in the seaport of Vostochny that amounts to 66,7 % of the total number of berths in the seaport. The length of the berth wall of the enterprise’s berths is four kilometers that amounts to 68.7 % of the total length of the wall berth in the seaport of Vostochny.
