SKOVORODINO, Russia, June 9 (UPI) -- A terminal under construction in Russia's Amur region will be able to move 15 million tons of oil a year, Itar-Tass reported Saturday.

Each of the terminal's five railway tracks will be capable of receiving 71-car trains, the Russian news agency reported.

The terminal is part of the first stage of the Eastern Siberia-Pacific Ocean pipeline system from Skovorodino to Taishet.

The pipeline is to be more than 1,700 miles long and will be capable of handling 80 million tons of oil a year when completed, Itar-Tass said.
