State Corporation "Rosatom" became the sole shareholder of JSC "Kaliningrad Sea Commercial Port" (KMTP) on May 18. According to RBC, the transaction amount is not disclosed, but could be 2.7–2.8 billion rubles. At the same time, operational management of the port has been carried out by the Fesco transport group, also part of Rosatom's circuit, since December 2025.
Fesco explained that the consolidation of KMTP and Kaliningrad Sea Fishing Port (KMRP) capacities will allow the formation of a single production and operational circuit. This approach will increase the efficiency of using the port infrastructure of the Kaliningrad transport hub and improve the logistical accessibility of the region.
The port came under state control after legal proceedings: the Prosecutor General's Office initiated the seizure of shares from businessman Dmitry Purim, Scottish Orneto Partners LP, and the family of State Duma deputy Andrey Kolesnik. Before being transferred to Fesco, the asset was managed by Rosimushchestvo.
The merger is already yielding results: in the first quarter of 2026, KMTP handled over 440 thousand tons of cargo — almost 53% higher than the figures for January-March 2025. In fact, Rosatom, through Fesco, is forming a unified port platform in the Baltic, capable of flexibly reallocating cargo flows between terminals.
