Vanino Bulk Terminal

Vanino Bulk Terminal is located in the Khabarovsky region of Eastern Russia on the shore of the Gulf of Tatary.

Background
In 2008 a new coal terminal was built at Vanino port. It was reported that additional equipment to the port would be delivered during 2011-2012. As such, this increase in handling capacity could make Vanino the largest coal port in Russia.

In December 2013 it was announced that FSUE Rosmorport and Far East Vanino Port LLC had signed an agreement to construct a specialised 15 million tonnes per annum coal terminal at Port Vanino. The terminal, costing approximately US$387 million, is scheduled to be completed in 2017. It was reported that the terminal would comprise two berths at a double-sided pier for vessels of up to 120,000 tonnes deadweight to cater for coal exports from the Elegest coal field.
