Project description
The project plans to build a bulk cargo transshipment terminal in the port of Osijek and relocate port activities to the new location in a non-urbanized part of the city (“New port”).
The construction includes approx. 240m of coastal buildings with 2 berths, transshipment devices for loading/unloading and transport of equipment (construction of a hopper with transhipment devices), access road approx. 300m long, railway tracks approx. 610m long, crane tracks and roads approx. 285m long, hopper dimensions 14.8×8.6×7.8m, a substation and the construction of the necessary infrastructure (water supply and drainage, electricity supply and lighting, open storage).
Project goal
With the construction of a bulk cargo terminal, the port of Osijek will become the first Croatian basin-type inland water port and the first to adopt European business standards, thus becoming a strong logistical support for the economy of Eastern Croatia.
The general objectives of the project are as follows:
- raising the level of environmental protection during cargo transshipment,
- raising the security level of vessels in port,
- improving access to port infrastructure through high-quality transport connections with the new port,
- development of effective intermodal cargo transport,
- reducing operating costs as a result of using new equipment and technology.
