In 2001 the Government of Russia approved the

construction of a deepwater port in the Kaliningrad

region by the Federal Target Program “Development of

transport system of Russia (2010 – 2015)” (approved by

the Government of the Russian Federation, December 5,

2001 № 848)

Deepwater port in the Vistula Lagoon (under planning)

This port, as a regional

transport center, must

ensure handling export and

transit of containerized

cargo.

Total throughput of 66-120

million tons per year

Possible points for

deepwater port:

- Khmelevka

- Cape Vostochniy

- Primorskaya Bay

- Cape Severniy

Terms for the construction of port

Deepwater

port



Terms for the construction of port

Port area - 1,200 ha,

length of berths - 10

km

canal length - 11 km

canal depth - 18 m

canal width -

225/260 m



Opinion of different researchers: the construction of a

deepwater port greatly change the state of the

environment and increase the human pressure.

The construction and operation may adversely affect the

water quality and biodiversity of the Vistula Lagoon.

Also problems with dredging of the canal will be. Because

difference between the average depth of the Lagoon (2.5

m) and the canal (18 m) is very big.

Consequences of port construction



Conclusions

Scientific expertise in geomorphology,

sedimentary, hydrography, land hydrology,

meteorology will make for each small harbors of

the Russian part of the Vistula Lagoon.

Construction and operation of the port will lead

to major changes in natural conditions, the

Vistula Lagoon.

Development of the small harbors infrastructure

in the Vistula Lagoon will be the impetus for the

development of the its outside area.Dmitry A. Domnin, Boris V. Chubarenko Vistula Lagoon and its ports in the transport system of the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia,
