The Marine Station or Marine Terminal (Russian: Морской вокзал) is a marine passenger terminal in Saint Petersburg. It was opened in 1982 specifically for the reception and processing of cruise and ferry vessels.[1] The station is located on the western tip of Vasilyevsky Island, at No. 1, Square of Maritime Glory.[2] The complex includes five berths, a place for border and customs inspection, restaurant, hotel and conference complex.[3]
The station building was built between 1973 and 1983, designed by architects V. A. Sokhin and Leonid Kalyagin.[4] The walls of the station are lined with volumetric panels in the form of sails; a ship is depicted on a 78-meter titanium spire. Originally the building was built for the Baltic Sea Steamship Company and served as both a station for visitors arriving by sea and as an inter-voyage base for the sailors of the shipping company.[4]
