The working group will elaborate a time schedule for this project which includes construction of a new deep-water area in the port of Arkhangelsk port and development of the Belkomur railroad.
The deep-water port will probably be built by the island Mudyug outside the town of Arkhangelsk, Regnum.ru reports.
Belkomur is a huge project which includes a railroad connecting Arkhangelsk with Komi and Perm. This will shorten the way between Siberia and the White Sea ports by 800 kilometers and open new efficient ways for cargo flows from the Urals and Siberia industrial zones to Europe.
The administration of Arkhangelsk Oblast is now preparing a project for a deepwater port by the island Mudyug outside The town of Arkhangelsk.
General Director of the Belkomur Railway Development Company Elman Khudazarov believes the railway line will materialize ahead of schedules. While the Russian federal transport strategy opens up for construction start in 2016, Mr. Khudazarov himself believes the construction can start already in 2011, BarentsObserver reported.
