Ust-Luga (Russian: Усть-Луга, Votic: Laugasuu, both meaning 'mouth of the Luga', Finnish: Laukaansuu, Ingrian: Laukaansuu) is a settlement and railway station in Kingiseppsky District of Leningrad Oblast, Russia, near the Estonian border, situated on the Luga River near its entry into the Luga Bay of the Gulf of Finland, about 110 kilometres (68 mi) west of St. Petersburg.
Since the embargo on Russian oil exports, Ust-Luga port in addition to Primorsk, Murmansk and Novorossiysk is main port for Russian shadow fleet of tankers.[citation needed]
