CCCC dredged 10 million m3 of materials at Port Bronka in 2015
During the 2015 navigation season China Communications Construction Company Ltd. (CCCC) performed dredging of access channel and the basin of Marine Multipurpose Transshipment Complex Bronka (MMPK Bronka, Port Bronka), located in Big Port St. Petersburg, and removed about 10 million cbm of materials to deepen the harbor to 14.4 meters, the dredging contractor told IAA PortNews.
The Bronka port dredging is the first project in Russia for CCCC. To execute the contract the company deployed 8 units of dredging fleet, and, in addition to its own vessels, invited dredging contractors from five countries.
The dredging project involves the reconstruction of the St. Petersburg seaway channel, to ensure the safety of navigation and access of merchant vessels to terminals of MMPK "Bronka".
Beijing headquartered China Communication Constructions Company Ltd. is a multinational group of companies. The Group specializes in the design and construction of roads and bridges, ports and port facilities, railways, subways, airports, residential and commercial real estate and transport infrastructure.
The Marine Multipurpose Transshipment Complex Bronka (MMPK Bronka) is located on the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland, near junction of the Ring Road & Dam and Lomonosov. Port Bronka comprises three dedicated facilities: a container terminal encompassing 107 hectares, the Ro-Ro terminal of 57 ha and a logistics centre of 42 ha. Bronka Container Terminal will have 1.176 m-long quay wall (including 5 berths). The length of Ro-Ro terminal's dock line will be 630 meters (3 berths). After completion of Bronka Phase 1 its capacity will reach 1.45 million TEUs and 260,000 units of Ro-Ro cargoes. In future the MMPK Bronka expansion will help increase the facility's container throughput to 1.9 million TEUs. Upon completion of the port's construction and dredging to the design mark of 14,4 meters in 2015 MMPK Bronka will be able to accommodate post-Panamax containerships and the ferries of Finnstar class. The Bronka project is expected to generate 2,300 jobs at its marine terminals alone. The first liner vessel called to Bronka on September 8, 2015.
