Russia’s Osterra port, in the Russian Far East Khabarovsk region, under the management of Port Alliance, has received the first batch of equipment from China for the second stage of an investment program to expand the terminal’s capacities, Port Alliance has stated.
The company said that “The equipment was manufactured at a state-run plant in China on the basis of an individual technical specification. The set, weighing 2,000 tonnes, includes a triple rotary car dumper, wagon positioners, briquette machines, dust control systems, aspiration systems and automated control systems for technological processes. The equipment took almost two years to develop and produce. The biggest components weigh between 32 and 46 tonnes.”
Before being sent to Russia, the cargo underwent inspection and acceptance procedures involving the heads of Osterra and Port Alliance. Installation work has been scheduled to begin in July, and commissioning works in September 2027. The delivery of the second batch is scheduled for May.
According to the statement, 14 key facilities are currently being built as part of the second stage of the investment program. The biggest jobs were the second part of concrete work on the rotary car dumper and the construction of the bridge, conveyor racks, foundations for the office building and the wagon positioner. The facilities are scheduled to be commissioned at the end of 2027.
The implementation of the project is being managed by Port Alliance as part of the group’s unified investment program to expand the eastern export corridor.
The company plans to expand the terminal capacities to 40 million tonnes by the end of 2027. Work on the last stage will cost an estimated 16 billion rubles.
In September 2020, Osterra also became an official resident of Vladivostok Free Port for the implementation of a project to increase the terminal’s capacity from 24 million to 40 million tonnes per year through the third construction stage. Osterra exports coal to countries in the Asia-Pacific Region, including China, Japan and South Korea.
In December 2025, the terminal completed a rebranding process, changing its name from Daltransugol to Osterra. Port of the Pacific Ocean. The new name symbolizes the “Eastern land” and emphasizes the terminal’s strategic role in the Far East as a key element in the logistics chain connecting Russia’s coal deposits with the AsiaPac markets.
Port Alliance, which was established in March 2024, also includes Murmansk Commercial Seaport, the Murmansk Container Terminal, Tuapse Bulk Terminal, and the Maly Port Stevedoring Company LLC in Nakhodka, Primorye. The company’s five terminals have the combined capacity to handle over 53 million tonnes of cargo per annum.
