The state corporation VEB.RF will provide preferential credit funds (with a Far Eastern subsidy) in the amount of 16 billion rubles for the construction of the world's first interstate cable car, which will connect Russia and China across the Amur River. In addition, three more projects in the Amur Region and Primorye will be financed. The implementation of these projects will ensure the creation of more than 1 thousand jobs. The corresponding decision was made following a meeting of the Presidium of the Government Commission on the Socio-Economic Development of the Far East, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister – Plenipotentiary Representative of the President in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev.
"Attracting investment to the regions creates conditions for growth. We help all investors who are ready to work and develop the Far East, invest in the territory of Russia. Investors in the Far East receive a wide range of benefits provided by the conditions of preferential regimes, reimbursement of infrastructure costs. A number of projects significant for the Far East are already receiving preferential lending from the state corporation VEB.RF. We will continue to support investment projects aimed at developing the economy of the Far Eastern regions and improving the quality of life of Far Easterners," said Yuri Trutnev.
"VEB.RF will provide preferential financing in the amount of more than 16 billion rubles for the construction of the world's first interstate cable car, which will connect Russia and China via the Amur. Support will be provided, among other things, for the construction of a production and logistics complex in Belogorsk for the deep processing of soybeans and rapeseed, the creation of a fishing port on the Nazimov Peninsula in Vladivostok, and the construction of the Artem multimodal transport and logistics center in Primorsky Krai. The implementation of these projects will ensure the creation of more than 1,000 jobs," said Artem Dovlatov, Deputy Chairman of VEB.RF.
The Blagoveshchensk-Heihe cable car construction project is the creation of the world's first cable car that will connect not only neighboring cities, but also countries. The cross-border cable car is an innovative and high-tech infrastructure solution that facilitates communication between two neighboring countries. The project involves the construction of cable car stations and passenger terminals on opposite banks of the Amur River on the Russian and Chinese sides.
The project to create a cross-border cable car is being implemented within the framework of the intergovernmental agreement between Russia and China dated September 3, 2015. According to the design documentation, the journey along the future cable car from Blagoveshchensk to Heihe should take about three minutes, and the capacity of the cable car terminal will be 6,850 passengers per day, or up to 2.5 million passengers per year.
The project to build a production and logistics complex in the city of Belogorsk in the Amur Region will also receive preferential financing from the 16 billion rubles allocated by VEB.RF. Deep processing of soybeans and rapeseed will be organized at one of the largest processing plants in Russia. The new enterprise should be launched next year.
Two projects in Primorye will also receive support. The first is for the development of a fishing port on the Nazimov Peninsula (stage II) in Vladivostok. The project envisages the construction of a modern cold warehouse with a capacity of 25 thousand tons of one-time storage of fish products, a crab holding pool, and a site for storing refrigerated containers.
The second is the construction of the multimodal transport and logistics center "Artem". The creation of a high-tech logistics complex includes the construction of modern railway, terminal, warehouse and customs infrastructure: a container site, 70 km long intra-terminal railway tracks with a connection to the Artem-Primorsky-1 and Artem-Primorsky-2 stations of the Far Eastern Railway.
