FSUE “Rosmorport” General Director Andrey Tarasenko during his business trip to Saint-Petersburg on 18 August 2015 inspected the port infrastructure facilities of the Bronka marine transshipment complex, where the enterprise is conducting dredging. The project is aimed to reconstruct the Saint-Petersburg Sea Canal, and ensure navigation safety, as well as easy access of ships to Bronka.
