The port, which will be located just few kilometers from the border to Norway, will have the capacity to handle annually: 30 million tons of oil, 25 million tons of mineral ore and coal and 7 million tons of container traffic, BarentsObserver reports.
Public hearings on the project named “the Northern Sea Port” are due March 2. The Severnaya Neft Company, a subsidiary of the state-owned Rosneft, earlier this year presented its project plans to the local authorities, as well as to officials, researchers and industrial interests in Murmansk.
