Shop testing and preshipment inspection of two TEREX Sprinter Carrier N SC 624 E diesel-electric container trucks for Multipurpose Sea Cargo Complex "Bronka" (MSCC Bronka, Big Port St. Petersburg) were performed under the contract with Noell Mobile Systems GmbH at the construction site in Wurzburg (Germany), says the project investor Fenix LLC. 1+1 (6.3 m) lifting height eight-wheel container trucks are designed for inspection operations.
The machines delivery to MSCC Bronka is scheduled for July 2015.
Multipurpose Sea Cargo Complex "Bronka" (MSCC 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 a 1,220 m-long quay wall (including 5 berths). The length of Ro-Ro terminal's dock line will be 710 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 MSCC 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 MSCC 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 MSCC Bronka operations is scheduled for September 2015.
