The commercial sea port of Primorsk is the largest oil loading port on the northeastern coast of the Bjorkesund Strait in the Gulf of Finland of the Baltic Sea. Located 8 km from the city of Primorsk, Vyborgsky district of the Leningrad region. The port is intended for the export of Russian crude oil from the Timan-Pechersky, West Siberian and Ural-Povolzhsky fields.
Primorsky oil port was built in the early 2000s in connection with the need to develop Russian ports for transshipment of goods after the collapse of the USSR. During the Soviet period, transportation was carried out through the ports of the Baltic republics.
Design and survey work to strengthen the railway approaches to the port of Primorsk was carried out by Lengiprotrans in the 1990s and early 2000s.
The following works were carried out at the facility:
• a scheme for the development of external railway transport of the port complex has been prepared;
• the main design solutions were developed for the layout of the pre-port railway station;
• a master plan for the railway transport of the commercial seaport was prepared;
• work was carried out to determine the size of traffic and organize the movement of railway transport;
• the technologies of operation of the Baltic-Kuzbass coal terminal on the territory of the sea trade port have been determined.
Currently, the institute is also carrying out design work to strengthen the existing approaches to the Primorsky universal transshipment complex.
