Port Brăila – Infrastructure works of the port sector in the Basin Docks

The general objective of the project is the modernisation and development of the Braila Port in order to provide optimal conditions for freight transport, in order to promote sustainable mobility at national, regional and local level, capable of ensuring fast and efficient links with international markets, while ensuring a port infrastructure at European standards in the context of the specific LIOP Objective (OS) 2.4. Increasing the volume of goods transited through modal terminals and ports. The general objective is operationalised with three specific objectives: Specific objective 1 – Modernisation and rehabilitation of berths 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38 and the mole head of the Basin Docuri with total L = 1005 m, with the aim of increasing the operating capacity of Braila Port according to the current and forecast volume of demand. Specific objective 2 – Rehabilitation of public utility roads DUP 3, DUP 5, DUP 6 with total L = 2811 m, with the aim of increasing the efficiency and connectivity of Brăila Port and strengthening connections between port operators and freight carriers at local, national and European level. Specific objective 3 – Development and modernisation of the utility infrastructure of Braila port in order to increase the quality of services offered to port operators and carriers. The investments foreseen under this project correspond to Specific Objective 2.4 Increase the volume of goods transited through intermodal terminals and ports, part of Priority Axis 2 Developing a multimodal, quality, sustainable and efficient transport system of LIOP 2014-2020, aimed at modernising and developing port infrastructure in ports, both those located on the TEN-T network and those located on other networks, in order to provide optimal conditions for freight transport, including the purchase of port facilities and other equipment. The implementation of the proposed project will contribute to achieving the LIOP objectives of increasing the share of freight transport and reducing the gap between the values of national transport indicators and the targets included in the Transport White Paper (2011), namely the transfer of more than 30 % of freight transport over 300 km to other sustainable modes of transport by 2030, and reducing negative environmental impacts by reducing carbon emissions and energy resource consumption. This project “Port Brăila – Port infrastructure works of the port sector inside the Docuri Basin” contributes to the achievement of the result indicator of Priority Axis 2: 2S69 Transportable goods on inland waterways. The Brăila Port currently operates an average annual freight traffic of 0.87 Mil.tone/an (estimated in the 2019 demand analysis). As a result of the implementation of the project, it is estimated that freight traffic will increase by about 8 % by 2023, and by
