Belarus this week claimed that preparations are in the final stages for arranging transshipment of Belarusian products via the Bronka Multipurpose Sea Cargo Complex (MSCC), the only deep-water sea terminal in the Russian port of St. Petersburg.
Interfax, citing Belarusian Prime Minister Roman Golovchenko, reported that Belarus is in the process of working out the details for delivery of Belarusian goods through the Bronka seaport.
Port of Bronka operator Fenix LLC’s Executive Director Aleksey Shukletsov told journalists last month that talks continue with Belarusian companies on the transshipment of cargoes, according to a statement on the port’s website.
According to the statement, Minsk is looking at launching shipments through Bronka next year.
The Bronka port complex is located on the southern Baltic coast of the Gulf of Finland, with a 14.4 metre approach channel, meaning it can accommodate Panamax bulk carriers. After the completion of the projects for the further development of railway and warehouse infrastructure, total capacity of cargo transshipment will be increased to 23 million mt by 2025.
