Proposed infrastructure
The development project of Ust-Luga Multimodal Complex envisages the following infrastructure:
- an international cargo airport
- an industrial zone, a logistics zone, a temporary storage warehouses zone
- a business park
- a residential zone (intended for building)
Planning
Now OJSC "NIIP Gradostroitelstva" has completed the elaboration of an area planning scheme for Kingiseppsky district. This scheme determined the functional purpose of the project land. FSUE "RosNIPIUrbanistiki" completed a Master Plan of the Vistinsky settlement. The Master Plan includes the location of Ust-Luga Multimodal Complex as well. JSC "Lenaeroproject" made investigations and prepared a positive opinion on the technical possibility of constructing a cargo airport on the grounds of the Ust-Luga Multimodal Complex. The airport will be able to accommodate all types of cargo aircraft. Regulative bodies of the Leningrad region gave their approval to locate the cargo airport.
Accidents and attacks
On 21 January 2024 the Security Service of Ukraine conducted an overnight drone attack on the gas terminal, causing a large fire, which took over a day to extinguish. Gas producer Novatek subsequently suspended all operations at the complex in response to the attack.
