At the onshore and berthing facilities site engineering protection against territories flooding was installed. Special catching trays were constructed under technological pipelines at the port berth, which provides additional protection of water environment against possible transfer of hydrocarbons upon oil shipping to tankers.

Stormwater drainage and system of engineering protection against groundwater and surface water are modernized simultaneously at two industrial sites of railway overpasses and oil intake.

Works on overhaul of six tanks with amount of 50 thousand cubic meters (VSTFR-50000) (Vertical Steel Tank with Floating Roof), located at the port oil depot, were finished.

At the section of Eastern Siberia-Pacific Ocean (ESPO) oil trunk pipeline from railway overpasses site to oil depot of Transneft - Kozmino Port, LLC earth bunds with pits were commissioned in November 2015. Each pit contains guiding bund walls - two-meter earth banks (bunds); their total length is equal to 1.8 km. Installation of such protective constructions will allow increasing environmental safety upon oil transportation in the end point of the ESPO pipeline system.

Besides, two additional operating units for measuring oil quality parameters (QMP) were constructed. The units are meant for operating control for quality parameters of the oil pumped through the 'Flowline to the Oil Depot' oil trunk pipeline, with length of 23 km, which is laid from the railway overpasses site to the oil depot.
