Transport Ministry sets a task to raise container throughput of Russia’s NW ports to 6 mln TEU

“Our task is to raise container throughput of Russia’s North-Western ports to 6 million TEU. We’ll manage to do it within 3-5 years. In this case we are to handle all our cargo,” Igor Levitin, RF Transport Minister stated Saturday, May 26, in St. Petersburg in the course of his visit to the terminal of Petrolesport OJSC, correspondent of PortNews reports. “We are today in a great need of terminal capacities. We failed to ensure all necessary conditions for our stevedoring companies and part our cargo goes to foreign ports,” Levitin said.
