Investment Projects Implemented by the North-Eastern Basin Branch

 

     One of the main activities of the FSUE “Rosmorport” North-Eastern Basin Branch is implementation of federal investment programs, as well as capital investment programs of FSUE “Rosmorport”, aimed at development of federal facilities of port infrastructure in the seaports of Anadyr, De-Kastri, Magadan, Nikolaevsk-on-Amur, Okhotsk, Pevek, Sovetskaya Gavan, and Vanino.

     In this aspect, since 2003 to the present time the North-Eastern Basin Branch within implementation of the construction customer’s functions has completed the following investment projects aimed at improving port infrastructure and the quality of services rendered to ship owners, cargo shippers and other consumers in the seaports.


     Seaport of Vanino

     In 2011, the first stage of reconstruction of the vessel traffic management system in the seaport of Vanino aimed at increasing the seaport Vanino VTS coverage area, was performed. According to the results of completed construction and installation works, a radio technical post was constructed in the Muchka Bay, obsolete equipment and software were replaced, which allowed to increase the reliability of the system and include the Muchka Bay waters in the seaport of Vanino VTS coverage area.

     In 2012, the second stage of reconstruction of vessel traffic management systems in the seaport of Vanino, aimed at increasing the seaport Vanino VTS coverage area, was performed. According to the results of completed construction and installation works, a radio technical post was constructed on Kekurnaya hill, which allowed to create a system of communication with vessels on distant approaches to the seaport of Vanino and extend the seaport of Vanino VTS area by covering the seaport of Sovetskaya Gavan.

 

     In 2014, project of reconstruction of the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System facilities in A1 and A2 sea areas on the approaches to the seaport of Vanino was completed. Implementation of the project, which was aimed at modernization of obsolete equipment, elimination of interference in functioning of the equipment in A1 sea area of the seaport of Vanino water area, expansion A2 sea area equipment operation area, enhanced the quality of GMDSS operation in the Tatar Strait.

     - a project for construction of the building of safety navigation services of the FSUE “Rosmorport” North-Eastern Basin Branch. Under the project, a three-floor administrative-and-technical building is planned to be constructed with the total area of 1.335 square meters. The implementation of the project will allow for compactly placing structural units of the North-Eastern Basin Branch by improving welfare of the personnel in order to increase the effectiveness of its work. Based on the design results, environmental impact assessment materials and design documentation are submitted for public discussion in accordance with the established procedure. According to the results of the discussions (minutes of the Administration of the urban settlement "Vanino worker's settlement" of the Vanino municipal district of the Khabarovsk Territory as of 14.10.2019), environmental impact assessment materials were generally approved. In accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation in the field of environmental expertise (Article 11 of the Federal Law No. 174-FZ as of 23.11.1995 "On Environmental Expertise"), state environmental expertise regarding the project for the construction of a building for navigation security services is not required. The results of engineering surveys and design documentation previously submitted for consideration by the state examination were returned to the Far Eastern Branch of FAI "Glavgosexpertiza of Russia" for revision in terms of the need to adjust the estimated cost of construction. As a result of the revision, the updated design documentation and the results of engineering surveys are submitted to FAI “Glavgosexpertiza of Russia”. The re-submitted materials received a positive conclusion of the state re-examination No. 27-1-1-3-029679-2021 as of 07.06.2021, including verification of the reliability of determining the estimated cost of the capital construction facility, approved by FAI “Glavgosexpertiza of Russia”. Due to the change in the cost of construction materials, the project documentation required some adjustments in terms of the estimated cost of the project. The revised estimate documentation for the project was submitted as prescribed to FAI “Glavgosexpertiza of Russia” to be reviewed for its reliability. Upon consideration, a positive conclusion was received from the follow-up state expertise, including verification of the reliability of determination of the capital construction project estimated cost, dated 14.07.2023 No. 27-1-1-2-040344-2023, approved by FAI “Glavgosexpertiza of Russia”, which established the reliability of determination of the construction estimated cost. 

     Based on the positive conclusions received from state examinations, the Administration of the urban settlement “Vanino worker's settlement” of the Vanino municipal district of the Khabarovsk Territory issued a construction permit dated 19.06.2024 No. 27-04-364-2024.
