Saint-Petersburg Administration to arrange public transportation to port Bronka

Transport Committee of Saint-Petersburg is going to launch a public transport service to Multipurpose Sea Cargo Complex "Bronka" (MSCC Bronka). According to the administration of Vice-Governor Igor Albin, the Transport Committee is to launch the social service from Lomonosov as soon as the infrastructure is ready. 

Buses of Passazhiravtotrans are supposed to leave for Bronka from a railway terminal in Lomonosov every 20-25 minutes. Bronka project investor Fenix LLC is to develop the port’s entry zone, two-way motor road available for buses, bus terminus, bus stops with passenger pavilions and required lighting. The works have already been started.

According to Fenix, some 450 persons will work at port Bronka in December 2015, 950 persons – in 2016.

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.
