thyssenkrupp equips one of Russia’s major seaports with new material handling system.

thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions is to supply a new coal handling system to the State Transport Leasing Company (STLC) in Russia. The system, with a planned capacity of 18 million tons of coal per year, will form the centre piece of a new terminal for coal exports in the port of Lavna near Murmansk and will significantly increase the coal handling capacities of the region.

To be completed in two phases, thyssenkrupp will supply ship loaders, stackers, reclaimers and car dumpers as well as one combined stacker-reclaimer, several belt conveyors and auxiliary equipment.

The project, expected to be fully operational in 2021, will augment regional coal exports and release pressure on existing terminals in the Baltic Sea. It is closely connected with the development of the Murmansk Transport Hub, one of the biggest ongoing infrastructure projects in the Russian north.
