Rostec to develop Murmansk LNG transshipment facility project
NEPTUNE Research Institute chosen as general developer of design documentation for the port infrastructure’s P1 construction in the Barents Sea
Rostec State Corporation’s Roselectronics Holding will be responsible for the design of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) transshipment complex infrastructure in the Port of Murmansk, Rostec said. An automated radio post of the VTMS will be one of the key complex, which will ensure the navigational safety in the basin of the port in Ura Bay.
Neptune Research Institute, a subsidiary of Roselectronics, has been chosen the General developer of design documentation for the first phase of construction of the port infrastructure in the Barents Sea.
FSUE Rosmorport will lead the investment project. The project phase 1 include the creation of an automated radio communication post outfitted with vessel traffic management systems and communication equipment. The post will provide radio navigation control in the basin of Ura Bay.
The project was approved by the Murmansk regional administration and obtained Rosprirodnadzor’s environmental seal of approval.
Mikhail Vinokur, Director, NEPTUNE Scientific Research Institute of Automated Systems & Communication Complexes (NEPTUNE Research Institute) commented: “Modernization of the onshore infrastructure of the Port of Murmansk will have a positive impact on the development of the Northern Sea Route and the entire Arctic zone. A vital element of this project is to ensure safety and compliance with environmental management measures in the Barents Sea. Work is scheduled to start in the first quarter of 2022. The Neptune Research Institute has extensive experience in scientific research, development and production of automated communication systems and complexes for ships and onshore facilities in Russia.”
The LNG offshore transshipment complex in the Murmansk Region will be included in the Capital of the Arctic priority development area. Local authorities say that thanks to the facility, it will be possible to attract about RUB 5.8 billion to the region's economy.
