The Marine Station, after 2016 reconstruction

The Marine Station or Marine Terminal (Russian: Морской вокзал) is a maritime passenger terminal located in the city of Murmansk. Marine Station has two berths, one of which is a pontoon berth. There is a small embankment at the sea terminal. The Murmansk Shipping Company's MS Klavdia Yelanskaya [ru] berths at the terminal. The Klavdia Yelanskaya carries passengers along the coast of the Kola Peninsula, connecting Murmansk with the settlements of Ostrovnoy, Chapoma, Chavanga and Sosnovka.[1][2][3] Prior to January 2013 boats from the station connected it with Abram-Mys [ru], a remote microdistrict of Murmansk.

In 2009, the world's first nuclear-powered icebreaker Lenin was docked near the terminal as a museum ship.

In 2016, a reconstruction of the building added another storey and a clock tower in honor of the 100th anniversary of the city.[4]
