BASIC PROJECT DATA – PROJECT IDEA
Project ID: PA1A103
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:
1. Increasing the safety of the navigation
2. Increasing of environmental condition in the port
3. Increasing traffic on the Drava and Danube
4. Employment during the implementation of the project for a period of about 3 years but also after the finishing the construction
PLANNED PROJECT ACTIVITIES
- The ownership of the land is planned to be obtained in 2018
- The feasibility study and main project is planned to be finished in 2021
The construction and reconstruction of the south quay in Port of Osijek is divided into four phases. The reason for this is that the simultaneous construction of all phases would practically block the normal operation of the port.
- Ports infrastructure – this phase consists of infrastructural elements comprising the rail tracks, roads, water supply system, wastewater drainage system, electric power supply network, telecommunications network, gas pipeline, lighting, etc.
- Container terminal – is based on the LO-LO technology transhipment with container crane and includes 330 m of new vertical quay with 3 berths.
- RO-RO terminal – planned for transhipment truck, tractor with trailer and other vehicles under their own power. The total length of the ramp RO-RO terminal is 150 m.
- Reconstruction of the existing vertical and inclined quay. The total length of the operational coast is 410 m.
The project covers an area of 20 ha. The order of construction phases depends on the results of the feasibility study.
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 the transboundary character of the project a wide range of stakeholders from different countries as shipping companies as well as companies conducting business in Osijek-Baranja county will benefit.
