Aiming to create a single, multi-disciplinary port operation for the region by 2010, Vyborg will be dedicated to containers, while Western will specialise in bulk cargoes.
Currently, Vyborg has 13 berths with total loading length of 1,000 metres at depths of 7.1 to 9.8 metres. It handles passenger traffic and a wide range of general and bulk cargo including containers, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, wood, grain and coal.
OMG’s development of Vyborg Port runs alongside its $36m expansion of capacity at the Onega Sea Port Cargo terminal in St Petersburg, now in its second phase.
