FSUE “Rosmorport” has commissioned the facilities of the first stage of construction of the Saint-Petersburg Marine Approach Canal to the Bronka Multifunctional Marine Transshipment Complex. In the end an acceptance certificate was signed.

Starting from 2013, when a state contract for the construction of the first stage of the Bronka Multifunctional Marine Transshipment Complex was negotiated, FSUE “Rosmorport” has dredged more than 20 mln cubic metres of soil in the basin and approach canal. The facilities were completed almost a year in advance, as the state contract stipulated completion of construction in October 2016.

Bronka is a deep water port located in Saint-Petersburg –Russian “sea gates” – at the intersection of the existing railroads, circle motor road (KAD) and right near the Saint-Petersburg Marine Canal. The Bronka Multifunctional Marine Transshipment Complex is being constructed in the framework of state-private partnership. The investment project is aimed to reconstruct the Saint-Petersburg Marine Canal, provide the safety of navigation and unobstructed access of ships to the Bronka Multifunctional Marine Transshipment Complex.

The project being implemented at the Southern coast of the Gulf of Finland will help to stimulate the international trade market development by further reorienting of Russian high paying freight handling from the ports of Finland and the Baltic countries to Russian seaports. The geographical position of the seaport allows to lower the industrial impact on the environment in the central areas of saint-Petersburg by decreasing the volumes of cargo flows going across the city. 

Also in the framework of the project FSUE “Rosmorport” is carrying out construction of the second stage of works, which is to be completed in 2017. In the framework of the contract the project documentation has been elaborated, diving and areal inspections of sea bed, as well as environmental monitoring and industrial ecological control were completed. Dredging works have also started as 7 mln cubic metres of the total planned volume of 10,300 mln cubic metres were extracted.
