The Russian operator STG Engineering has dismissed reports claiming it lost its contract for managing Tartous port. CEO Dmitry Trifonov stated that they continue to operate normally and have not received any official notice regarding contract cancellation. The company clarified its distinction from Stroytransgaz, addressing confusion surrounding the operator’s identity.
STG Engineering, the Russian company operating Syria’s Tartous commercial port, has denied claims from some Middle Eastern media and local businessmen regarding the annulment of its contract. Asserting that operations continue as normal, CEO Dmitry Trifonov emphasized that there had been no formal notification of contract termination, which, if it were to occur, would involve a lengthy bureaucratic process. He clarified that such an agreement cannot be terminated unilaterally without involving both the Syrian parliament and the president.
The assertions regarding the annulment of STG Engineering’s contract for managing Tartous port are unfounded, according to the company’s leadership. The denial emphasizes the necessity of formal procedures in revoking contracts that have been ratified at high government levels. Furthermore, STG Engineering is distinct from Stroytransgaz, a major construction company that previously received media attention.
