Acceptance certificate signed for Phase 1 of MSCC Bronka’s approach canal
FSUE Rosmorport has signed the acceptance certificate for Phase 1 facilities of MSCC Bronka’s approach canal (Big Port St. Petersburg), Rosmorport says.
State contract for construction of Bronka’s first phase was signed with FSUE Rosmorport in 2013. From that moment the scope of dredging operations at the port’s water area and the approach canal exceeded 20 mln cbm.
“The facilities have been delivered almost a year ahead of schedule – under the state contract, the construction works should be completed in October 2016,” the statement says.
FSUE Rosmorport also performs works on construction of Bronka’s Phase 2. They are to be completed in 2017. Paper work, diver inspection of the bottom and environmental monitoring has been performed. Dredging has commenced: 7 mln cbm out of planned 10,300 mln cbm has been dredged to date.
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 first liner vessel called to Bronka on the 8th of September 2015.
