Russia to revise state pier leasing rules in sea ports by 2027

08:48; 27 April 2026 year

### Russian Port Infrastructure Lease Rules to Change in March 2027 Starting March 1, 2027, new regulations governing the lease of piers and maritime port infrastructure owned by the Russian state will come into effect. The corresponding law was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin and published on the official legal information portal. Under the new rules, the President will have the authority to determine the methodology for calculating rent for state-owned port infrastructure. The government will establish regulations for determining rental fees for piers used for cargo handling. The law introduces an annual adjustment of rental fees, allowing the lessor to unilaterally adjust the rent based on the inflation rate projected in the federal budget. Additionally, the law clarifies the division of responsibilities for leasing federal port assets, depending on which federal agencies oversee the companies managing specific facilities.
