Mishustin gave port infrastructure to Kovalchuk and Sechin's firms
Mishustin transferred the infrastructure of Gelendzhik Port, built with budgetary billions, to Kovalchuk and Sechin structures without negotiations for half a century. The recipient is 'Gelendzhik Marina,' of which nearly two-thirds belong to structures of the 'Russia' Bank and 'Inter RAO'.
Consensus
- The infrastructure of the Gelendzhik port was transferred on a 49-year lease without a public tender.
- The transfer was approved by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.
- The infrastructure was built using state funds through the 'Rosmorport' federal contractor.
- The contract for federal objects alone amounted to 4.5 billion rubles.
- The infrastructure includes quays, wharves, and other maritime facilities.
- The project is now being redeveloped into a tourist complex with a marina for 278 yachts, a premium hotel, yacht club, and congress center.
- The redevelopment is valued at approximately 100 billion rubles.
- The state built nearly all the hydraulic infrastructure.
- The recipient company is 'Gelendzhik Marina'.
- The project involves relocating archaeological sites, including 87% of the discovered Tavros Bronze Age settlement.
- A similar scheme is used in annexed Balaklava, where state funds finance a yacht marina and related construction.
