Vostochny Port (company)

JSC "Vostochny Port" is the largest stevedoring company in Russia, specialising in coal transshipment using automated conveyor equipment.

[2] More than 99% of cargo is exported, primarily to countries in the Asia-Pacific region which include mainly South Korea, Japan, and China.

The harbor, which remains ice-free even in the most severe winters, and reaches depths of 22 meters in the fairway, allows large-capacity, Capesize-type vessels of 180 thousand tonnes DWT to enter for loading.

In 1970 a decision was made to construct a seaport in the Wrangel Bay [ru], near Nakhodka, to improve trade and economic relations and increase the turnover of goods between the Soviet Union and Japan.

From this day on, the port in Wrangel Bay, having received an official certificate on its inception, was registered in all sailing directions and specified on navigation charts worldwide.

The completed facility, with a capacity of 6.24 million tonnes, became the largest and most technically equipped coal-loading terminal in the Soviet Union.

Huge machines (stackers – storing coal to dump, and reclaimers – transporting it from storage to ships) moved through these hills.

The port's high capacity and speed of cargo handling are achieved due to the use of specialized equipment at every stage of operation.

[4] A green light for investment projects in the port sector was given by the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, in the summer of 2012.

He ordered the construction of an additional export infrastructure in the Far East, including a free-access coal terminal with a capacity of not less than 20 million tonnes per year.

The project involves the construction of 4 storage facilities with a total capacity of 780 thousand tonnes, as well as 2 piers and the installation of high-tech equipment at the complex.

At the "Transport of Russia 2016" exhibition, Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev was informed of the execution of the phase 3 project.

The volume of investment in the project under the contract with the Far East development corporation will reach 17.2 billion Rubles with the prospect of creating 619 jobs.

The construction of the new station will allow the port to increase the volume of both railcars admitted with coal and dispatched emptied rolling stock.

A powerful dust-collecting system works around the clock in the area of railcar dumpers at the coal complex of JSC "Vostochny Port".

In 2016, JSC "Vostochny Port" spent more than 32 million Rubles to maintain environmental safety standards in its activities.

Kelp, trepangs, scallops and juvenile chum salmon are grown annually in specialized aqua culture facilities under contracts of JSC "Vostochny Port".

In December 2016, JSC "Vostochny Port" and the administration of Nakhodkinsky district had signed a long-term, five-year contract on cooperation in environmental protection.

In June 2017, during the visit of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Deputy Victoria Nikolaeva, a five-year bilateral agreement on cooperation in environmental protection was signed.

Effective social policy management and partnership relations with employees are important factors of the company's long-term and sustainable development.

With its own infrastructure, the company provides medical services, development of corporate sports, cultural activities and spa treatment for employees and their children.
