thyssenkrupp equips major Russian seaports
(Posted on 28/08/19)
thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions has supplied a new coal handling system to the State Transport
Leasing Company (STLC) in Russia. The system will be the centrepiece of a new terminal for
coal exports in the port of Lavna near Murmansk, on the western shore of Kola Bay. With a
planned capacity of 18 million tons of coal per year the terminal will significantly increase the
coal handling capacities of the region. It is expected to be fully operational in 2021.
Torsten Gerlach, CEO of the Mining Technologies business unit at thyssenkrupp Industrial
Solutions: “Together with our partner LNK Industries, we will equip one of the largest ports
in Russia with a state-of-the-art port handling facility. We are pleased to contribute our
extensive experience in the planning of such systems. As one of the few full-range suppliers,
we can provide our customers with fully integrated solutions that ensure high performance
and resource-efficient operation.”
The terminal project will be completed in two phases: First out-shipments are expected to
take place in 2020. In that same year a total of nine million tons of coal will be handled on
site. In 2021, the volume increases to 18 million tons. The project will augment regional coal
exports and release pressure on existing terminals in the Baltic Sea. It is closely connected
with the development of the Murmansk Transport Hub, one of the biggest ongoing
infrastructure projects in the Russian north.
thyssenkrupp will supply two ship loaders, stackers, reclaimers and car dumpers as well as
one combined stacker-reclaimer, several belt conveyors and auxiliary equipment. The
contract includes engineering and procurement, as well as services for site erection and
commissioning. Within the project, thyssenkrupp's partner, the Latvian construction
company LNK Industries, is responsible for the design and construction of the conveyor
system. In order to keep dust emissions from the handling site at a minimum, all coal transfer
points, wagon unloading stations as well as ship loaders will be outfitted with dust
suppression equipment.
The Industrial Solutions business area of thyssenkrupp is a leading partner for the engineering,
construction and service of industrial plants and systems.
