Railway approach to MMPK Bronka to be built by September’15
The Marine Multipurpose Complex Bronka (MMPK Bronka, St. Petersburg) plans building of a railway approach to the terminal by September, 2015, Aleksey Shukletsov, Executive Director of Bronka project investor Fenix LLC told journalists during the round table meeting “Discussion of the Strategy for social and economic development of Saint-Petersburg through 2030 in the context of Transport Logistics Complex” arranged with the assistance of IAA PortNews. Besides, a railway line from Gatchina to Bronka is to be built by 2025. A feasibility study is in progress today.
Aleksey Shukletsov also says it is reasonable to build the second track at the railway linking Bronka and Oranienbaum.
The Marine Multipurpose Complex Bronka (MMPK Bronka) is being built on the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland, in the place where the dam and the ring road border the territory of Lomonosov. The Bronka Complex will comprise three specialized facilities: a container terminal encompassing 107 hectares, Ro-Ro terminal of 57 ha and logistics center of 42 ha. Container terminal will feature the 1.176 m-long waterfront (including 5 berths). The waterfront of rolling cargo terminal will be 630 meters (3 berths). The Bronka Phase 1 capacity is projected to be 1.45 million TEUs and 260,000 units of Ro-Ro cargoes. The facility’s container throughput is planned to be increased to 1.9 million TEUs. The Bronka Multipurpose Complex will be able to handle Panamax containerships and the ferries of Finnstar class.
Private investors are expected to inject nearly RUB 43.7 billion in the project with the Russian Government investment at some RUB 15.2 billion.
Implementation of the Bronka project will bring 2,300 work places at sea terminals alone. Upon completion of the outer harbor facilities annual direct tax payments to the budget of St. Petersburg will be at RUB 1.7 billion (plus indirect tax due to a multiplier effect – RUB 5.1 bn), the federal budget will get RUB 2.0 billion a year (RUB 5.9bn).
