Specialists of the ro-ro terminal on the territory of the First Stevedoring Company (part of the group of companies “Sea Port of Saint-Petersburg”) successfully accomplished loading operation related to two rocket vehicles to be delivered to Guiana Space Center (French Guiana).
On the 5th of November rocket vehicles “Soyuz-ST” were reloaded from rail cars onto roll trailers and today will be delivered and loaded on the MN “Colibri” vessel using the ramp of berth 37 of the ro-ro terminal.
The third shipment lot for space base Kuru was handled by the terminals of the group of companies “Sea Port of Saint-Petersburg” within the Intergovernmental Agreement on long-term cooperation between Russia and France “…related to the development, manufacturing and use of the rocket vehicles …”, in the presence of diplomatic delegations from both countries.
Reference: The group of companies JSC “Sea Port of Saint-Petersburg” includes CJSC “First Stevedoring Company”, CJSC “Second Stevedoring Company”, CJSC “Third Stevedoring company”, CJSC “Fourth Stevedoring Company”, “Universal Handling Facility” in Ust-Luga and a number of service companies.
Ro-ro terminal, the first specialized ro-ro terminal in the Greater Port of Saint-Petersburg, with the annual handling capacity of 1 mln. tons of cargoes, was constructed within the Development Programme of the group of companies “SPSP”, which envisages the transfer for handling of more profitable types of cargoes and increase of the handling capacities.
Kourou Space Centre or Guiana Space Centre is located in French Guiana (South America), 50 kilometres from Cayenne, on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Centre is used for orbiting of the geostationary satellites. The interest of Russia toward Kourou Space Centre is related to its equatorial location: it can be used for orbiting of the heavier satellites than those launched from the space centers in Baikonur and Plesetsk.
