The Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East and Arctic, the Government of the Arkhangelsk Region, the Rosatom State Corporation and the Arkhangelsk Deep-Water Port shareholding company signed an agreement on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum to build a deep-water section of the Arkhangelsk seaport, the ministry’s press service reported.
The port will include coal terminals, a facility for handling containers, mineral fertilizers, petroleum coke and other cargoes, as well as a berth for vessel bunkering. Construction is scheduled for completion by 2032.
Russian Deputy Minister for the Development of the Russian Far East and ArcticYury Serdechkin noted that the deep-water section of the Arkhangelsk seaport would become an important part of the infrastructure of the Trans-Arctic Transport Corridor.
Deputy Prime Minister of the Arkhangelsk Region Igor Murayev said that the project would also be an important element in the comprehensive development of the Arkhangelsk transport hub.
“We see this as an infrastructure platform for large-scale changes in the region’s economic geography. New industrial facilities linked to the production of potential cargoes will be established in the immediate vicinity of the new port. < … > The project will integrate the Arkhangelsk Region into new global supply chains and turn the Northern Sea Route into a real alternative to traditional global trade routes,” he said.
Earlier, Arkhangelsk Region Governor Alexander Tsibulsky proposed to President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko that a dedicated terminal for Belarusian cargoes be established as part of the future development of the deep-water section of the Arkhangelsk seaport.
