Phase I of railway construction works has been completed at Multipurpose Sea Cargo Complex "Bronka" (MSCC Bronka, Big Port St. Petersburg), says Bronka project investor and developer Fenix LLC. According to the statement, the works comply with the specifications of Oktyabrskaya branch of Russian Railways.

The traffic capacity of 1.3-kilometer long railway linking the new port with Russian Railways lines is 235,000 t of cargo per year. At the terminal, there are two 535-meter long tracks for a simultaneous handling of a train consisting of 71 wagon units.

By December 2015, the works will be completed at Bronka station. Two tracks will be extended up to 1,050 meters each. This will let the station accept full size trains.

By the end of the year, railway capacity will be raised to 475,000 t per year.

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.
