According to projects plans the terminal will be completed by 2008 and have a capacity of 10-12 million tons per year, later to be increased to an annual 30 million ton. The terminal project is part of a modernization programme for the whole port facility complex of Murmansk.
The press office of Arktikshelfneftegaz reports that Russian Minister of Transport, Igor Levitin, this September will approve the programme, which includes $2,5 billion of investments over the next 10 years. The programme will help increase the capacity of the Murmansk ports to a total of 78 million tons per year, of which 38 million tons will be dry goods and 40 million tons will be petroleum, RusEnergy reports.
Arktikshelfneftegaz will run the project in partnership with the two companies Kuzbassrazrezugol and Korporatsia Sintez.
The report, analyzing the IAEA’s actions since the war began, offers Bellona’s assessment of the agency’s effectiveness as a UN body. It also examines the professional relationships between the IAEA’s governing bodies and officials from the warring nations.
Throughout the past year, our mission at the Bellona Environmental Transparency Center has focused on two key, but intertwined issues—nuclear and radiation safety as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine drags on, and the worldwide influence of Rosatom, Russia’s state nuclear corporation, which itself is actively involved in the war and has participated in the occupation of a Ukrainian nuclear power plant.
At the beginning of the year, reports in the German and Russian press suggested an approximate 70% increase in uranium imports from Russia to Germany in 2024. But does this reflect broader European trends? It does not. Overall, imports of uranium and nuclear fuel from Russia to Western countries actually dropped sharply in 2024. Unlike the situation in Germany, this is already an established trend.
A Lingen, Germany plant could begin producing nuclear fuel in cooperation with a subsidiary of Rosatom, Russia's state nuclear corporation, which is directly involved in the war in Ukraine and occupying the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.
