To reinforce the shore and to ensure safe mooring of ships, SP SPb conducted underwater engineering works on restoration of the berths’ sheet-pile wall and ensured compliance of bottom level with the designed figures. Earlier, the company equipped its berths with new fenders to protect its waterfront from docking impact.

To ensure uninterrupted power supply to the berths, the port replaced 7.5 km of cables and lines. A new transformer substation is nearing completion at the port.

From the beginning of 2021, SP SPb has invested over RUB 0.5 billion into its development.
