MINSK, 25 June (BelTA) – Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko was made familiar with progress of construction of a Belarusian port in Bronka in the first half of the day on 25 June, BelTA has learned.
The project has been approved and backed by the president of Russia. Vladimir Putin underlined that Belarus will enjoy all kinds of support for the sake of construction of a major Belarusian transshipping port.
The multifunctional sea transshipping complex Bronka is the only deep-water terminal in the St Petersburg port. The depth of the terminal's approach canal and water area is 14.4m. Port Bronka is conveniently placed thanks to the short approach canal (only 13 nautical miles from the receiving buoy), short distance to the railway station Bronka (1.2km railway), and connection to the St Petersburg ring road. The transshipping complex Bronka is located to the southwest of St Petersburg and outside the city limits.
