Gelendzhik Marina Construction Progress

The largest Russian marina complex is being constructed in Gelendzhik as part of the ‘Development of Russia’s Transport System’ governmental programme. Stroytransgaz Group is the only project contractor.

The former cargo port in the vicinity of Tonkiy Mys (Gelendzhik bay) was fully dismantled at the pre-construction stage, and will be replaced by a state-of-the-art seaport capable of admitting passenger vessels of various classes. Currently, the South quay pier is complete, while the North quay pier is at about 90 % of completion, where driving of tubular sheet piles, upper structure reinforcement and concreting are finished, and the erection of fencing, fenders and utility systems is ongoing.

The completed facilities include Berth No. 1 with a wing wall*, an artificial land plot, a distribution transformer station, a building for the yacht club attendant, and local wastewater treatment facilities.

Today, general improvement of the North quay pier, berths, bank protection structures is in progress. General utility networks are being laid within the South and North quay piers, berths, bank protection structures.

In future, the Gelendzhik seaport will be capable of accepting no less than 200 yachts at the same time. The complex will feature a passenger terminal with a berth for passenger vessels with a draught up to 5.9 meters and passenger capacity of up to 940 people.

Project execution will give a major boost to the tourist potential of the Black Sea resort, promote considerably the development of the yachting industry and facilitate the development of the coastal region’s sea routes.

 

*A wing wall (abutment wing) is a cantilever element of abutment; it has no foundation and serves to retain the approach embankment.
