BALTIC: From September 10, 2015, the structure of Baltic Customs includes new customs point Bronka which is to become fully operational from November 2015, the Customs’ press center says.
The customs has undertaken a complex of preparatory measures and has tested all its IT systems. The staff will initially number 15 customs officials. Later on, with the growth of MSCC Bronka’s throughput, it is supposed to be increased.
Customs point Bronka is located at section 14, Yevgeny Efet str., Lomonosov, Saint-Petersburg. The point’s code is 10216160.
According to the statement, geographical location of Bronka point will let shift some customs operations outside Saint-Petersburg and therefore minimize the impact of port activities on the living environment.
Besides, proximity to major transport junctions will facilitate the procedures and let reduce the expenses of importers/exporters and those of the end users of imported goods.
Multipurpose Sea Cargo Complex “Bronka” (MSCC Bronka) is being built on the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland, where the Dam and the Ring Road border the territory of Lomonosov. The Bronka Complex will comprise three specialized facilities: a container terminal encompassing 107 hectares, the Ro-Ro terminal of 57 ha and a logistics center of 42 ha. Container terminal will have a 1,220 m-long quay wall (including 5 berths). The length of Ro-Ro terminal’s dock line will be 710 meters (3 berths). After completion of Bronka Phase 1 its capacity will reach 1.45 million TEUs and 260,000 units of Ro-Ro cargoes. In future the MSCC Bronka expansion will help increase the facility’s container throughput to 1.9 million TEUs. Upon completion of the port’s construction and dredging to the design mark of 14.4 meters in 2015 MSCC Bronka will be able to accommodate Post-Panamax containerships and the ferries of Finnstar class.
Implementation of the Bronka project is expected to generate 2,300 jobs at its marine terminals alone.
