State operator Russian Railways and stevedores will earmark around $15m to reconstruct the Eysk train station to augment the throughput capacity of a local port on the Azov Sea, company reports.
Russian Railways will assign 50 percent of the investment, and stevedores are expected to add the other half.
The project envisages the extension of two existing receiving-and-departure tracks to 1-km-long and construction of five new tracks with the same length and three dead end tracks, necessitated by constantly increasing freight turnover at the ports of the Azov-Black Sea area.
Reconstruction will double the train station’s carrying capacity, thus boosting the Eysk port’s transshipment and freight-loading capacity to 4.3 million tons of cargo a year.
