“In the newBronka harbor, we use only highly efficient equipment and the latesttechnologies. The STS Liebherr cranes are equipped with modern rotation speedcontrol systems, an advanced guidancesystem for the loaders with a high torsional stiffness, as well as top-qualitymetal structures,” says Alexei Shukletsov, CEO of Port Bronka.
It isalready the second trade ship that calls into port Bronka before its official commissioning,which is planned for September 2015. In June, the “Meri” from the Finish portHanko delivered the first three of ten RTG cranes from the Finishcrane manufacturer Konecranes. The cranes can stack 1 to 5 standard containers,can bridge a stacking width of six containers plus loading- and unloadingtrack, and have a carrying capacity of 50 tons under spreader.
The modernterminal facilities of deep-water harbor Bronka and the newly createdport-access canal enable admission and handling of Post-Panamax ships with aslot capacity of up to 8,100 TEU. Withthe first expansion stage in September 2015, the water depth should be 11.2meters. Towards the end of the year, awater depth of 14.4, 16.0m is actually planned, which will yetagain improve the competitive position of the new transshipment facility.Bronka, the new outer harbor to St. Petersburg, is thus an excellent complementto the present terminals of St. Petersburg harbor, which have neither the technology nor water depth required for handling large vessels.
