Project of Murmansk PSEZ retarded because of Shtokman – regional authorities
The project on creation of port special economic zone (PSEZ) in the Murmansk region was initially associated with residents focused on the development of Shtokman gas condensate field, IAA PortNews journalist cites Dmitry Sosnin, Murmansk Region Minister of Economic Development, as saying at the Expert Council meeting of Rosmorrechflot Board.
According to Sosnin, uncertain situation with Shtokman keeps large investors from PSEZ. There are only three applications from fish processing enterprises, which is not enough for a special economic zone.
Meanwhile, SEZ concept has been developed and approved by the Economic Development Ministry. The site design, space planning and material & technical development plan have been elaborated and submitted for approval. PSEZ managing company is being established.
