Now customers have an opportunity to store goods for a long time without paying customs duties and taxes, to prepare goods for sale to new buyers, and to re-export goods abroad if required. These services are available at Full bonded area in Port Bronka as at the entry point for cargo to the customs territory of the Eurasian Economic Union.
Port of Bronka
Port Bronka is the only deep-water terminal in Big Port of St. Petersburg. It’s located in the South-West of St. Petersburg, outside the city down-town. The win-win location of Port Bronka is because of the direct access to the Ring Road and short approach channel (13 nautical miles from the pilot buoy). The railway station Bronka is connected to the port by 1.2 km rail track.
The current capacity of the port is 500 000 TEU and 130 000 units of rolling cargo per year. The further development plan includes an increase in container handling capacity up to 1.9 million TEU per year and 200 000 units of rolling cargo per year.
