The governor, who was appointed to the post as Nenets AO governor in late February, now intends to find investors to the port development. Mr. Fyodorov has also sent a request to federal authorities, among them the Federation Council, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Regional Development, Regnum reports.
