BASIC PROJECT DATA
Project ID: PA1A051
NEED AND ADDED VALUE FOR THE DANUBE REGION STRATEGY
The Oltenita port is located on the Danube River, on the pan-European transport corridor VII. There is growth potential at the Oltenita Port if the river traffic could be carried out to a greater extent by the large industrial units in the region with the increase in the port’s capacity to handle cargo, considering the construction of Danube – Bucharest channel.
Oltenita port is part of the TEN-T comprehensive network.
OBJECTIVE(S) OF THE PROJECT
Modernization of the Oltenița port infrastructure. Phase 1 is already concluded.
CONDUCTED PROJECT ACTIVITIES

- Vertical quay (it was constructed using Larsen sheet piling) at the berths 1 and 2 area, with a total length of 170m
- Modernisation of sloped quays L= 200m (berths 7 and 8)
- Execution of a jetty quay L = 80m (berth 8)
- Rehabilitation of existing sloped quays L = 425m
- Modernization of the illumination network for the berths 1,2,3 and 8
- Improvement of the supply networks for drinking water, water for firefighting, pluvial sewerage
TRANSBOUNDARY IMPACT
