Amending seaport boundaries

R&D company Nord-Engineering LLC provides consulting services on the inclusion of berthing facilities and terminals, within seaport boundaries.

The purpose of making changes to the seaport boundaries is to include additional land and water areas within the borders of the seaport (Article 5 of the Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 261-FZ of 08.11.2007. "On the seaports in the Russian Federation").

Amending the seaport boundaries solves the following tasks:
  • legitimises paperwork for cargo - bill of lading and export documents;
  • adds the potential of establishing a checkpoint in the future (seasonal or permanent);
  • creates the opportunity to obtain a building permit at Rosmorrechflot (if there is design documentation agreed upon in the examination).

1) Preparation of documents and approval by the Seaport Administration:

  • sending a set of documents, including plans for a plot of land , cartographic schemes, rationale, etc .;
  • document approval by the Administration of the seaport;
  • approval by Rosreestr, Rosvodresursy, the Naval Staff, the regional administration of the corresponding, i.e. subject of the Russian Federation.

2) Submission of a set of documents to Rosmorrechflot by the Seaport Administration, approval and verification of documents by Rosmorrechflot.

3) Preparation of a draft decree of the Government of the Russian Federation and its submission by the Rosmorrechflot to the Russian Ministry of Transport:

  • preparation of a draft order, explanatory note, rationale;
  • Submission of the project to the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation, approval by the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation;
  • submitting a draft decree of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation to the Government of the Russian Federation.

The result of all the above work is:

  • an order of the Government of the Russian Federation on amendments to the borders of the seaport;
