Vostochny Port Coal Terminal (Russian: угольный терминал АО «Восточный Порт») is a coal terminal in Russia.
Location
Vostochny Port Coal Terminal is located in Wrangel Bay in Primorsky Krai, East Russia.
Background
The terminal is part of a larger port of the same name, Port Vostochny. The port consists of two terminals: Coal Handling Terminal and Universal Handling Terminal.
As of 2020, the only shareholder of Port Vostochny was a Cypriot company Starlion Limited.[1] The company's ultimate controlling shareholder was said to be Kuzbassrazrezugol JSC.[1][2]
Expansion
In 2012, the Russian President Vladimir Putin announced plans to expand Russia's port capacities. In fall of that year, Vostochny Port JSC decided to launch a large-scale investment project for the construction of the third stage of a specialized coal complex of Vostochny Port JSC at its own expense.[3][4] According to a 2014 forecast by Managing Port Co. LLC, the port capacity was to reach 24.5 million tonnes of coal by 2017, 28.5 mt by 2019, and 32.5 mt by 2020.[5]
In 2019, Vostochny Port JSC completed construction of Stage 3 of the Specialized Coal Handling Terminal. The expansion brought the terminal's capacity up to 55 million tonnes per year, with a total investment of 40 billion rubles (approximately US$600 million).[6][7]
Coal volumes handled at the port increased steadily in 2010-2020, rising from 14.7 million tonnes to 26.9 million tonnes over the span of the decade.[8] In 2020, Vostochny Port was responsible for 25% of Russia's Far East coal exports.[4]
In December 2022, along with the completion of the 1st stage of construction of a new berth at the terminal, the port's capacity increased to 58 million tonnes per year.[9] According to other sources, the capacity is 55 mtpa.[10]
In 2022 the port handled 25.6 million tonnes (2.4% more than in 2021).[11] In 6 months of 2024, the port handled 13.4 million tonnes of coal.[12]
As of 2025, the increased capacity at the terminal remained underutilized, with requests from the company to Putin to ensure greater throughput in 2025. The throughput data for 2025 was not found.[13]
