Evraz Group, running the Nakhodka CSP’s handling facilities upgrade program since 2005, plans to acquire two more Komatsu bucket loaders, Finnish tractors, Calmar forklifts of lifting capacity of 20 tons.
In the five recent years, the port has received over 60 units of new equipment - trucks, coal sorting machines, bucket loaders, tractors and semitrailers. The upgrade project will make loading and unloading operations much safer, more efficient and mobile, the company believes.
The Nakhodka CSP, has reportedly took part in two major federal projects - handling of large diameter pipes for the Eastern Siberia - Pacific Ocean oil pipeline and the Sakhalin-Khabarovsk-Vladivostok gas pipeline.
According to managing director of Nakhodka CSP Yuri Doroganov “this is the only port in the Russian Far East, which is able to provide handling of such heavy-weight cargoes."

The Port is owned by an industrial group Evraz and is focused on exports by sea of products manufactured by the Group’s enterprises to Asia countries.
