BASIC PROJECT DATA
Project ID: PA1A042
NEED AND ADDED VALUE FOR THE DANUBE REGION STRATEGY
When the Poarta Alba–Midia Navodari Canal was opened for navigation in 1987, only the minimal works necessary for the navigation activities had been completed. The uncompleted works, the type of the rocks, the influence of the hydro-meteorological factors (wind, rain, snow) and the repeated cycles of freeze-thaw may cause landslides, with major impact on the general stability of embankments, resulting in a clogged fairway with material drawn from the slope and transported into the canal, as well as in the damage of the already completed works.
Currently, works are being conducted within the ceiling of the money allocated from the state budget. ISPA funding was used for a feasibility study for the works which are still to be completed.
OBJECTIVE(S) OF THE PROJECT
Banks consolidation in order to ensure the safety of transport on the canal.
PLANNED PROJECT ACTIVITIES
Execution of works.
TRANSBOUNDARY IMPACT
Through the Poarta Alba–Midia Navodari Canal goods are transported from/to Central European countries, with vessels flying various national flags.
