development of economic ties with the countries of the world, as well as the political situation led to the appearance of the project for the construction of such an important subject as the port of Sabetta.He called on the eponymous village in the Yamal Peninsula.Sabetta port construction due primarily to the fact that in the region centered about 20% of oil and gas Russia.
construction project and goals
As mentioned above, the construction of a new port in the Arctic region of the country - it is a necessity.It is not a separate building was built, and the whole complex under the name of "Yamal LNG".In the future, Sabetta port is designed to provide navigation throughout the year for the Northern Sea Route.Next will be built plant for liquefied natural gas for its transportation in special tankers for export to Western Europe, South and North America and the Pacific states.
To the Arctic port of Sabetta would be fully operational, it is built around a working village.It is also planned to build branch railway and airport.
works to be performed during the project
Overall seaport Sabetta will be unique in terms of the construction of such facilities.All work is done from scratch.At the time of the Port tab on the ground, there was no infrastructure loads the materials had to be delivered by sea.This applies primarily to the heavy and bulky structural elements of the port.Terms of navigation at that time accounted for only 3-4 months.
Construction Sabetta port includes the following works:
- construction of the approach channel;
- construction of sea channel;
- port waters;
- quay wall;
- 4 berth;
- control and correction stations;
- Hydrometeorological post;
- warehouses;
- building technical and administrative purposes.
Works Equipment made the approach channel.Currently, work is underway on arrangement of the port waters, the construction of infrastructure.
Investors and Contractors
project for the construction of the port was developed at the request of the Government of the Russian design bureau of "LENMORNIIPROEKT."According to the results of the tender, the general contractor USK port facilities became "Bridge", the general contractor for the construction of the port was made of "MRTS."
Construction of the port of Sabetta costly.Investors were JSC "Novatek" (Russia) and the oil company TOTAL (France).As customer advocates "Yamal LNG".Design and development work performed UAB GT "Morstroy."
After identifying all the actors had to spend-optimization project.The result was an opportunity to reduce the amount of materials by a optimal use.
Completed stages
Bookmark the port occurred in 2012 (it has to be fully completed in 2017).In 2013, the quay wall is completed.More than 10% of the process is made causeway leading to the docks.Partially ready marinas, and in October 2013 made it possible for the port of Sabetta first vessel to dock.Build a working village.However, it is not known whether the contractors meet the deadline.
Financial difficulties in the way of construction, not only
Main funding for the construction and maintenance comes from the federal budget.As it turned out two years after the laying of optimization project is not benefited.Apparently, the contractors will have to return to the original project.It provided ledozaschitnye facilities.This raises the cost by more than 40%.
However, to preserve the possibility of the project is not.First of all, the delay deadlines will entail fines in very large sizes.Well, the most important reason - it could undermine the prestige and reputation of Russia as a reliable and stable supplier.Already signed contracts for a large volume of gas for transportation, and the disruption of construction terms entail even financial penalties for unfulfilled international commitments.
for fund-raising plan to reduce investment in other projects such as the construction of a ferry for the line Ust-Luga - Baltiysk, the reconstruction of the port of St. Petersburg and the construction of a deepwater port in Baltiysk.While the decision is not made, the search continues for funds.
prospects and value
Sabetta Port project will be used not only for the export of liquefied natural gas.Through him, the world market will leave the grain, metals, coal.This will change the economics of the region and give a boost to its further development.If we talk about the political meaning of the Sabetta port will not be affected by many countries through which the transport of goods earlier.If we manage to implement the construction of the railway, the life of the region has changed significantly.
