The project on construction of an ice-free deep-water port Indiga was presented by infrastructure corporation AEON. According to the project, a consortium of AEON and Rutitan Group are to build a railway between the port of Indiga and the Sosnogorsk station and to develop Pizhemskoye field of titanium ore.
The port is to handle ships of up to 70,000 dwt while the off-harbour facility is to handle ships of up to 250,000 dwt.
At the first phase, the port is supposed to handle 8.6 million tonnes of cargo per year, mainly coal. When fully operational, the port will is to reach annual throughput of 80 million tonnes taking into account the cargo traffic on the railway estimated at over 60 million tonnes.
