Russia has opened a new European portal with the completion of this new passenger terminal for cruise ships and ferries. Netherlands dredging company Van Oord performed all the dredging work for the access canal and harbour basin. The new terminal, which has a capacity of 12,000 passengers a day, has seven piers, five for cruise ships and two for universal traffic, including ferries. A new area is being developed behind the harbour for buildings whose accommodations will include business offices and hotels. The development of the Marine Facade has breathed new life into the tourism industry in St. Petersburg.
