There are plans to complete construction in 2027 on the Baltic Marine Engineering Plant terminal in St. Petersburg with capacity to handle 5 million tonnes per year; a terminal to handle liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and stable gas condensate at the Sabetta seaport in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District with capacity for 9.7 million tonnes; a liquid cargo terminal at the Posyet port in Primorye with capacity for 10 million tonnes of cargo per year; and a container terminal at Posyet with capacity of 500,000 TEU.
Construction of another five terminals is scheduled for completion in 2028, including the Coalstart coal terminal at the Vostochny seaport in Primorye with capacity for 17 million tonnes; a universal terminal near Cape Nagleinyn at the Pevek seaport in Chukotka with capacity for 1.96 million tonnes; a terminal to handle liquid chemical cargo and mineral fertilizers in Ust-Luga in Leningrad Region with capacity for 8 million tonnes; a container terminal in Vladivostok, Primorye with capacity for 322,900 TEU; and the Nikolskoye terminal at the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky seaport on Kamchatka with capacity for 0.015 million tonnes per year.
In 2029, there are plans to complete the construction of three terminals in the Far East, including the Primorsky Metallurgical Plant terminal in Primorye with capacity for 2.1 million tonnes per year; the Port Elga coal terminal at the Vanino seaport in Khabarovsk Territory with capacity for 30 million tonnes; and the Aurora Seaport oil terminal in Primorye with capacity for 10 million tonnes.
The plan calls for finishing construction of the Aurora Seaport coal terminal with capacity for 25 million tonnes, the Ust-Luga universal terminal in Leningrad Region with capacity for 24.3 million tonnes and a grain terminal at the Vysotsk seaport in Leningrad Region with capacity for 4 million tonnes in 2030.
In the period from 2031 to 2036, there are plans to finish building two facilities, including a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Ura Bay at the Murmansk port in Murmansk Region with capacity for 20.4 million tonnes per year in 2032.
