Dredging of the fairway along with the modernisation of the quays at the Inner Port is one of the three largest EU projects at the Port of Gdansk. The Port Authority will soon select the contractors.
Using the funds from the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), the Port of Gdansk Authority will carry out investments for a total of about PLN 1 billion. The bids for the performance of the fairway dredging and quay modernisation work have just been opened.
Seven entities (consortia: Strabag, Solitech, and Stabilizator Fundamenty; Soletanche Polska and Zaklad Robot Hydrotechnicznych i Podwodnych UW; NDI Spolka Akcyjna and NDI Sp. z o.o.; and Korporacja Budowlana DORACO with Boskalis International B.V.; and enterprises: Budimex, Energopol Szczecin, and PORR S.A.) tendered for the performance of the first part of the work – the conversion of the quays, constituting the reconstruction of the fairway.
Three entities (consortia: Przedsiebiorstwo Robot Czerpalnych i Podwodnych and Hegemann GmbH; and Korporacja Budowlana DORACO with Koskalis International B.V.; and one enterprise – Van Oord Dredging and Marine Contractors BV) submitted their bids for the tender for the second part of the work involving dredging work in the inner fairway.
The first part of the tender concerns the expansion of nearly 400 metres of quays: the Postojowe Niskie Quay/BON Base, Wislane Quay, and Szczecinskie Quay. The contractor’s tasks will also include demolition work, quay construction work, expansion of the electrical system and the water supply and sewage system, and basin cleaning. Potential contractors declare that the investment will be completed within 67 weeks from the moment of signing the agreement.
The tender is part of the project entitled: Modernisation of the fairway, quay expansion, and improvement of the conditions of navigation at the Inner Port in Gdansk. 85% of the funds for the project come from the resources of CEF. Apart from this one, the PGA obtained resources for other projects, including the modernisation of the road and railway system at the Outer Port and the construction of the Polnocne Quay.
The majority of the projects financed from CEF will be completed by the end 2020.
