ST PETERSBURG's Solvo Integrated Management Solutions has provided the terminal operating system (TOS) to start container operations at the Bronka Multipurpose Sea Cargo Complex (MSCC Bronka) in St Petersburg.

MSCC Bronka's three facilities, a logistics centre, container and ro-ro terminal, are expected to make the complex one of the key cargo shipping areas in St Petersburg, with an annual capacity of 1.9 million TEU at full build out.

The greenfield terminals are said to handle 1.45 million TEU, 260,000 ro-ro cargo units, and can accommodate postpanamax class containerships, reported St Petersburg's PortNews..

MSCC Bronka's container terminal has four postpanamax berth cranes, an LHM-800 port mobile crane, 10 RTG cranes, terminal tractors, reachstackers, and forklifts.

Negotiations between Solvo and Bronka Port representatives started five years ago before the terminal was built.

Consultation and expert support for MSCC Bronka was provided by the German company Hamburg Port Consulting GmbH (HPC), while software deployment was carried out by Solvo in its role as the general contractor for related hardware and infrastructural works.

In its role, Solvo carried out wireless network deployment and development of a gateway between TOS and third party hardware and software.Its TOS has taken into account the specifics of MSCC Bronka's yard, vessel, rail and road transport processing, with features such as a web portal for cargo forwarders and shipping line agents, a terminal equipment management module, automatic tracking of empty and unnumbered containers, reefer container storage zone management and customs integration.
