The USD 6.7 billion project, being undertaken by Russian firm Tuva Energy Industrial Corporation, includes the construction of a 400km rail-road connecting the Elegest coal mines to the region’s main commercial hubs and the new bulk port in Vanino.
It is anticipated that the new deep-water coal handling port will enhance the capacity of the Elegest coal mines, which are located in the centre of the Tuva Republic near Kyzyl.
Bedeschi will supply the new port with a double tippler station, capable of rotating four 100 tonnes rail wagons with a total capacity of around 6000 tonnes per hour, stackers, reclaimers and shiploaders and 7.5km of belt conveyors.
