Project description
The project envisages the construction of pier 3 with a total length of about 44 meters, a width of about 8 meters and a surface area of 351.60 m2, which will be used for the reception of liner passenger ships and the protection of the harbor’s waters, as well as the reconstruction of the P. Krešimir Coast IV from pier 1 to pier 3 with a length of about 365 meters, which forms a narrow coastal belt, with the aim of mooring ships in a safe way and ensuring the appropriate height of the coast so that it will no longer be flooded.
The project is implemented in two phases through two financial periods due to unforeseen circumstances arising in the implementation of the project from the first financial period. The subject of PHASE 2 is the construction of jetty 3, floor plan dimensions 43.95 x 8.00 m (outside the shore in the length of approx. 42.10 m), which is performed as a divided span construction on three supporting caissons on an axial span of 16.00 m with submerged screens. The jetty has a height of 5.50-7.50 m, i.e. it is built up to an elevation of +1.40 m.
Project goal
The goal of the project is to fulfill the conditions for mooring ships in a safe way and to ensure the appropriate height of the coast so that it will no longer be flooded. This reconstruction of the coast will enable a safe pedestrian connection to the city in all weather conditions, which until now has been impossible in high sea level conditions.
By improving the quality of the infrastructure in the port of Rab, the quality of public maritime transport will be improved, the capacity to receive ships in coastal liner maritime traffic will increase, the safety of passengers will increase, long-term sustainability will be ensured, the mobility of passengers will increase and the general quality of life will be improved. All of the above has a positive effect on the quality of life of the island population.
