Customary Jaguar-Land Rover Day held at port Bronka site (photo)
Automobile show “Autobiography” has held its customary event Jaguar-Land Rover Day (test drive for Jaguar and Land Rover) at the site of port Bronka being built in Saint-Petersburg. IAA PortNews correspondents participated in the event. Jaguar was represented with XJ and XF, while the list of off-roaders consisted of Range Rover Sport, RR Evoque, Land Rover Discovery 4 and Freelander 2.
The test-drive route ran along the reclaimed territory of port Bronka and included the Off-Road sector with obstructions enabling automobiles unlock their potential and demonstrate operation of auxiliary systems.
The youngest guests of the event could participate in dog sledding. However grown-ups were also glad to be pictured with good-natured huskies.
The Marine Multipurpose Complex Bronka (MMPK Bronka) is being built on the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland, in the place 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, Ro-Ro terminal of 57 ha and logistics center of 42 ha. Container terminal will feature the 1.176 m-long waterfront (including 5 berths). The waterfront of rolling cargo terminal will be 630 meters (3 berths). The Bronka Phase 1 capacity is projected to be 1.45 million TEUs and 260,000 units of Ro-Ro cargoes. The facility’s container throughput is planned to be increased to 1.9 million TEUs. The Bronka Multipurpose Complex will be able to handle Panamax containerships and the ferries of Finnstar class.
