In 2015, dredging works at the approach canal and water area of the Marine Multipurpose Complex Bronka (MMPK Bronka, Big Port St. Petersburg), will be fulfilled by CHINA COMMUNICATIONS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY (СССС), IAA PortNews was informed by Baltstroi CJSC (general contractor on dredging operations at Bronka’s approach canal and water area).
Under the agreement recently signed between Baltstroi CJSC and CHINA COMMUNICATIONS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY (one of the world’s largest companies specializing in port construction and hydraulic engineering in particular), СССС undertakes to dredge 13 mln cbm of material during the navigation period of 2015. This scope of work, which is to be fulfilled without subcontracting, will ensure the depth of 14.4 m at the approach canal and water area of MMPK Bronka. The fleet of 20 dredging units, including unique facilities, is supposed to be involved in the works.
СССС has commenced preparing the equipment and the fleet for transition from China to the Baltic Sea. The start of the dredging operations is scheduled for April 2015.
The Marine Multipurpose Complex Bronka (MMPK Bronka) is being built on the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland, where the Dam and the Ring Road border the territory of Lomonosov. The Bronka Complex will comprise three specialized facilities: a container terminal encompassing 107 hectares, the Ro-Ro terminal of 57 ha and a logistics center of 42 ha. Container terminal will have 1.176 m-long quay wall (including 5 berths). The length of Ro-Ro terminal's dock line will be 630 meters (3 berths). After completion of Bronka Phase 1 its capacity will reach 1.45 million TEUs and 260,000 units of Ro-Ro cargoes. In future the MMPK Bronka expansion will help increase the facility's container throughput to 1.9 million TEUs. Upon completion of the port's construction and dredging to the design mark of 14,4 meters in 2015 MMPK Bronka will be able to accommodate post-Panamax containerships and the ferries of Finnstar class.
Implementation of the Bronka project is expected to generate 2,300 jobs at its marine terminals alone.
The launch of MMPK Bronka operations is scheduled for September 2015.
