BASIC PROJECT DATA – PROJECT IDEA
Project ID: PA1A104
NEED AND ADDED VALUE FOR THE DANUBE REGION STRATEGY
The Port of Osijek is located in the City of Osijek, administrative centre of Osijek-Baranja County. The county, being a regional government unit, is situated in the north-eastern part of the country, in the Pannonian region, covers an area of 4.155 km2 and comprises 7.3% of Croatia’s total territory.
The project will stimulate growth and employment in the whole area by ensuring integrated cargo transhipment at one single port.
OBJECTIVE(S) OF THE PROJECT
Through the implementation of this project some economical, social and ecological results will be achieved there as well. They are:
- Increasing traffic on the Drava and Danube
- Creating opportunities for development of intermodal hub and economic zone
- Development of intermodal transport system including the connection of inland waterways to sea ports, road and rail routes
PLANNED PROJECT ACTIVITIES
The feasibility study is planned to be finished in 2018
The planned construction can be divided into three basic components:
- The construction of coastal structures involves arranging the right bank of the Drava river in the length of approximately 2,220 m to protect against flooding.
- Filling the terrain and the retaining wall: The western part of Osijek port must be filled in order to ensure conditions for further use of space for infrastructure and economic purposes.
- The construction of infrastructure covers the construction of storm-water and sanitary sewage system, construction of roads, rail tracks, lighting and electricity supply.
The project covers an area of 92 ha.
TRANSBOUNDARY IMPACT
As transport of goods on the Danube and its tributaries has a cross-border character, the entire Danube region will benefit from building infrastructure in the Port of Osijek.
Due to its transboundary character the project will benefit a wide range of stakeholders from different countries as shipping companies as well as companies conducting business in Osijek-Baranja county.
