Legal defining of Ust-Luga port limits contributes to the port’s attractiveness for both Russian and foreign investors, Ust-Luga Harbor Master Oleg Glukhov told PortNews IAA. According to Oleg Glukhov, Ust-Luga port includes northern and southern districts of the port, ro-ro terminal being built in Vistino (Leningrad region) as well as all territories of economic entities located in the mouth part of Ust-Luga port including enterprises of the fishing industry.
As it was reported earlier, the limits of Ust-Luga seaport (Leningrad region) were defined by the order of the RF Government No 698-r dated May 20, 2009.
Ust-Luga port is situated practically at the border of the Russian Federation and the European Union. The deep water area of the port (16 m) together with the short ship channel (3.7 km) make Ust-Luga port the only Russian port on the Baltic Sea capable of admitting dry-cargo vessels with the deadweight of up to 75,000 tonnes and liquid cargo carriers with the deadweight of up to 120,000 tonnes. The second ship channel providing roundabout ship traffic will be built by 2010. By 2010 the cargo turnover of Ust-Luga port is expected to amount to 50 mln tonnes.
