Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev visited the Murmansk Region on a working visit, inspected the site of the sinking of the largest floating dock in Russia and held a meeting dedicated to organizing the work on its disposal. The meeting was attended by the head of the Murmansk Region, the leadership of the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia, the Ministry of Transport of Russia, Rosmorrechflot and other interested departments.
“The situation with the sunken dock in the Murmansk region creates a number of problems. These are serious obstacles to shipping and a negative impact on the environment. In addition, this water area is of strategic importance for the development of the Northern Sea Route and the Vostok Oil project, which are being implemented on the instructions of the President of Russia. A project for the disposal of this floating dock is currently being created, and then we will begin work. The project will be large-scale and even unique, since similar-sized sunken objects have not yet had to be disposed of in our country. Nevertheless, we understand how to do this. We have design institutes that are ready to take on the work and then remove this object,” said Dmitry Patrushev.
The Deputy Prime Minister called for the work to be accelerated because, due to the local climate, the season favorable for the survey will be short.
Following the meeting, the Russian Ministry of Transport and Rosmorrechflot, together with the region, were instructed to promptly develop and approve a “road map” for organizing the disposal process.
