AGERPRES - Romanian News Agency - 23 Iulie 2009
Operational capacity of Giurgiu Port on the Danube is to expand more than 5-fold after the implementation of the DANUBE project on the infrastructure development of seven Danube ports in Romania, project agreed by the European Commission, whose total estimated value is of approximately 175 million euros, with VAT.
'This is the first project in Romania funded this way and it is the first unitary approach in the field of the development of a number of seven Romanian ports on the Danube in the past 20 years', stated the director of the National Company 'Administration of River Danube Ports' CNAPDF Giurgiu, Danut Ofiteru.
The project deals with the modernization of Moldova Veche, Drobeta Turnu Severin, Calafat, Giurgiu, Oltenita, Calarasi and Cernavoda ports infrastructure.
'This project central goal is the achievement of a more secure, faster and more efficient transport in the Romanian ports on the Danube under conditions of connecting them to the European Union river transport networks', emphasized on this occasion State Secretary with the Ministry of Transport Marin Anton, present in this Giurgiu meeting.
Investments in Giurgiu Port will be big because this is the most important port on the Danube between Bazias and Braila and a new port basin will be constructed for the transport of cereals, ballast and construction materials, set to cover a 4-hectare surface, as well as the construction of a wharf for the multi-functional ships, as well as a port arrangement to ease the access of ships on Smarda Canal.
