Multipurpose Reloading Complex (Ust-Luga) increased financing of environmental programme 6 times to RUB 5.2 mln in HI'15

In January-June of 2015 LLC “Multipurpose Reloading Complex” (MRC) in the port of Ust-Luga (Leningrad region) transferred 5.2 mln Rubles for the implementation of the environmental campaigns which is 6 times more than during the same period of the last year.  

The increase of financing sums was caused by performing of works on expansion of dust suppression system of MRC. The company transferred main part of funds for purchase of mobile dust suppression plant WLP-700T, the use of which allowed to increase environmental safety during handling of coal at the terminal. Plant is a mobile generator of water fog (so called “gun”) which by aerodynamic cone and powerful ventilator creates fog with radius of 70 m.

MRC also traditionally took measures to preserve water resources. In particular, the company regularly monitored quality of natural waters, checked use of coastal area and treatment of waste water.

In order to ensure safe handling of production and consumption wastes MRC performed their regular recording and removal and controlled places of their temporary accumulation.

LLC “Multipurpose Reloading Complex” (included in UCL Port- stevedoring division of the International transportation group UCL Holding) is a cargo terminal in the port of Ust-Luga in the Leningrad region, specializing in reception, storage and shipment of export and import general and bulk cargoes. Main cargo reloaded by the company is export power generating coal. In 2014 the turnover of LLC “MRC” amounted to 4 mln tons of cargo.
