As a result of the steady and sustainable growth of the economy, Russian import and export will increase, both of consumer goods, raw materials and semimanufactured products. Royal Haskoning believes the need for new port developments will be inevitable. The economical importance of the ports of St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad, Arkhangelsk, Novorossiysk, Nizhniy-Novgorod and Vladivostok; Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and Nakhodka is already rising and increasing handling capacity will be needed. Furthermore, the side-effect of global warming might well be that the opportunity for the establishment of ice-free ports at Russia’s northern coast is given. Beside this, Russia’s 106.000 km long waterways offer an unbeatable chance to further develop the inland water transport.
In order to be able to serve the Russian market optimally, Royal Haskoning has established offices in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Sakhalin. From these locations we offer a wide range of maritime services, comprising, amongst other: |
