Bronka port successfully offloads heavy-lift cargo from BBC Citrine
Three days ago the St. Petersburg, Russia based MSCC Bronka, a multipurpose port Bronka (part of Big Port St. Petersburg) successfully unloaded oversized, heavy-lift cargo of total weight of 3,690 tonnes from the general cargo ship BBC Citrine delivered from Houston, USA, the Bronka investor Fenix LLC said.
The port has received and handled since early June four conventional vessels with oversized, heavy-lift project cargoes of 5,982 tonnes. One cargo unit maximum weight was 200 tonnes.
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 dedicated 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. Once completed Bronka project will help generate 2,300 jobs at its marine terminals alone. The first liner vessel called to Bronka terminal on September 8, 2015.
