With the approval obtained from the Agency for Architecture, City Planning and Long-Term Development of the Kaliningrad Region, a freight/passenger car ferry and a railway ferry facilities have been put into operation in Baltijsk, says press center of FSUE Rosmorport.

The project on reconstruction and construction of port infrastructure including the construction and operation of a container terminal with a capacity of 300,000 TEUs has been implemented from March 2017 under public private partnership involving Baltic Stevedoring Company, LLC.

FSUE Rosmorport, the project orderer, reconstructed the Berth No 2 and built 180-meter long crane tracks. FSUE Rosmorport invested over RUB 159 million of its own resources into the project.
