Ust-Luga (Russian: Усть-Луга, Votic: Laugasuu, both meaning 'mouth of the Luga', Finnish: Laukaansuu, Ingrian: Laukaansuu) is a settlement and railway station in Kingiseppsky District of Leningrad Oblast, Russia, near the Estonian border, situated on the Luga River near its entry into the Luga Bay of the Gulf of Finland, about 110 kilometres (68 mi) west of St. Petersburg.

Constructed at a cost of $2.1 billion, work started in 1997, in part to avoid having to ship dry cargo via the newly independent Baltic states,[1] and was accelerated at the urging of President Vladimir Putin, who inaugurated the new port facilities in 2001.

In May 2008, Putin confirmed[2] that Ust-Luga would be the terminal of the projected Second Baltic Pipeline,[3] an oil transportation route bypassing Belarus.

[4] The port adjoins the Ust-Luga Multimodal Complex, which allows for rapid freight handling on site.

[10] The Ust-Luga oil terminal, operated by Novatek, was attacked by a Ukrainian aerial drone on the night of 21 January 2024, as a part of the hostilities resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, causing a fire that forced the suspension of some operations.
