BASIC  PROJECT  DATA

Project ID: PA1A102

 

NEED  AND  ADDED  VALUE  FOR  THE  DANUBE  REGION  STRATEGY

The Port of Osijek is located in the City of Osijek, the 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. It covers an area of 4.155 km2 and comprises 7.3% of Croatia’s total territory.

Port Osijek was located on two sites. The “old port” was situated in the centre of the city and in the vicinity of Clinical Hospital Centre. In the old port, which has been closed in 2015, there was only the bulk cargo terminal.

Facilities on the area of the “old port” need to be relocated to the location of the “new port” for four most important reasons:

  • Necessity of integral cargo transhipment in one location
  • Better traffic connections at the New Port location
  • Prevention of possible ecological incident in the city centre
  • Reduction of noise and dust in the vicinity of the hospital

 

OBJECTIVE(S)  OF  THE  PROJECT

Through the implementation of this project, some economical, social and ecological results will be achieved there as well. These are:

  1. Increasing the safety of navigation
  2. Decreasing of transport costs
  3. Increasing traffic on the Drava and Danube rivers
  4. Employment during the implementation of the project for a period of about 3 years but also after the end of construction

 

PLANNED  AND  CONDUCTED  PROJECT  ACTIVITIES

  • Feasibility study finished in 2014
  • Ownership of the land was finished in 2013
  • Public tender for works and supervision will be launched in 2018
  • Project implementation 2017–2021

Construction will include :

  • Construction of quay in length of ca. 240 m
  • Transhipment facility with incoming hopper
  • Access road, extension of rail and crane tracks
  • Necessary infrastructure required for operation of terminal (water supply, storm water drainage, sewage and wastewater system, electricity supply, lighting, etc.)

The project covers an area of 4 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.
