CJSC “Fourth Stevedoring Company” (4SC) officially changes its title for CJSC “Container Terminal Saint-Petersburg” (CTSP).  

Changing of the title is the logical step reflecting strategy of company’s development at the territory of the fourth cargo area of the Greater Port of Saint-Petersburg and respective changes in the structure of the handled cargoes. In the end of 2010 the first stage of container terminal was put into operation and at the moment the main cargoes handled by the company are containers. These cargoes are gradually pushing out less cost-efficient and less environmentally friendly cargoes such as mineral fertilizers, pig iron and metals from the structure of company’s turnover.

Further development of “CTSP” within the implementation of the project of construction of the second stage of the container terminal envisages prolongation of the quay line, extension of the storage areas and purchase of new equipment for handling of container cargoes. After putting into operation of the second stage of the container terminal in 2014 its capacity will amount to 1.2 mln. TEUs per year.


Reference: CJSC “Container Terminal Saint-Petersburg” (part of the group of the companies “Sea Port of Saint-Petersburg”) is located at the fourth cargo area of the Greater Port of Saint-Petersburg. Terminal with the annual capacity of 500 thousand TEUs is equipped by 4 ship-to-shore (STS), 10 rubber-tyred gantry cranes (RTG), lift-trucks with the lifting capacity from 3 tons and by other technological equipment. Terminal area amounts to 32 Ha, storage capacity is 14 thousand TEUs.

Container terminal has 2 railway tracks for handling of container trains. Useful length of each track amounts to 469 m, total length of each track – 700 m. Containers are delivered by railway transport via station “Avtovo”.

Terminal works with the following lines: Team Lines, APL, Sea Connect, Unifeeder, Maersk, MSC, Delta Shipping Lines.

Since October 24, 2011 the terminal works according to new technological scheme of handling of containers, which simplifies Border procedures. Reduction of work time of committee aboard the vessels allows cargo owners to decrease demurrage costs.

CJSC “Fourth Stevedoring Company” specialized in handling of loose and bulk cargoes, main type of which was coal. Gradually since the moment when Multipurpose reloading Complex in Ust-Luga was put into operation in 2008 environmentally unfriendly turnover had been removed from the territory of Saint-Petersburg.
