First batch of low-tonnage Foton chassis was delivered to MSCC Bronka (Multipurpose Sea Cargo Complex Bronka, Big Port St. Petersburg) in June 2017. According to Fenix LLC, operator of MSCC Bronka, 2-3 chassis were delivered in 40-ft containers.
The containers were unloaded in compliance with the instructions of the consignor. A dedicated equipment was purchased specially for the operation.
The works were performed together with the forwarder and customs representative of Foton Motor – RTL Broker, LLC.
“With the lessons learned and with special equipment involved it took no more than 1.5 hours on the average to unload a container with three chassis including mounting of wheels”, said the port.
MSCC Bronka handles Ro-Ro and container cargo offering services on packing/unpacking of containers allowing cargo owners use the most convenient and reasonable ways of delivery.
MSCC Bronka (Multipurpose Sea Cargo Complex Bronka) is a new deepwater terminal at the port of Saint-Petersburg. The project is implemented through private-public partnership. Investments from the federal budget (RUB 17 bln) allowed for building an access canal and water area with a depth of 14.4 m as well as a transport junction with a direct connection of Bronka to the ring road. Construction of coastal infrastructure through project financing with Fenix LLC as a private investor began in 2011. In December 2015 it was completed and the first phase of the project was put into operation.
The capacity of Bronka’s Phase 1 is 1.45 million TEUs and 260,000 units of Ro-Ro cargoes. In the future the MSCC Bronka expansion will help increase the facility's container throughput to 1.9 million TEUs. Port Bronka is able to accommodate Post-Panamax containerships and the ferries of Finnstar class. The port territory comprises a logistics center and a State Border checkpoint. In April 2017, MSCC Bronka was acknowledged as a strategic investment project of Saint-Petersburg, and is initiator Fenix LLC – as a strategic investor.
