Changes to seaport boundaries

We render consulting services on the inclusion of berthing facilities and terminals into the boundaries of a seaport.

The aim of making changes to the boundaries of a seaport is the inclusion of a land and water area into the seaport boundaries (Art. 5 of the Federal Law of 8 November 2007 No. 261-FZ "On Seaports in the Russian Federation").

Making changes to seaport boundaries leads to:

• cargo documents, such as bill of lading and export papers, are duly prepared;
• a checkpoint (seasonal or permanent) can be set over time;
• a construction permit can be obtained in Rosmorrechflot (if project design documents are approved after the examination).

Stages of changing seaport boundaries:

1) Preparation of documents and their approval by the Seaport Administration:

• submitting a set of documents, including land plot plan, skeleton maps, feasibility study, etc.;
• coordination of documents with the Seaport Administration;
• coordination with Rosreestr, Rosvodresursy, Naval Headquarters and the administration of a corresponding krai/oblast, i.e. constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

2) Submission of a set of documents by the Seaport Administration to Rosmorrechflot, coordination and verification of the documents by Rosmorrechflot.

3) Preparation of a draft decree of the RF Government and its submission by Rosmorrechflot to the Ministry of Transport of Russia:

• preparation of the draft decree, explanatory note, feasibility study;
• submission of the draft decree to the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation and its approval;
• submission of the draft decree by the Ministry of Transport of Russia to the Government of the Russian Federation.

The result of all the above work is:

• a decree by the RF Government on making changes to the boundaries of a seaport;
• amending the boundaries of a seaport (including land and water area).
