PSA is planning to announce the tender for the Euro 23.4 million project in the first quarter of 2013.

The proposed project will require the procurement of the following works and services:

· Civil works related to the extension of the passenger wharves; and
· Consultancy services for works supervision.

To achieve their goal PSA has applied for a loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the Bank) and therefore any contracts to be financed with the proceeds of a loan from the Bank will be subject to the Bank’s Procurement Policies and Rules and will be open to firms from any country.

This new sea-going dredger is self-propelled and features no less than 12,860kW of total installed power. The ‘Amazone’ has an integrated barge loading facility enabling to discharge both through the traditional floating pipeline and directly into a barge moored alongside. The increased discharge power allows for covering significantly larger distances between the dredging area and the reclamation area when pumping ashore.

The ‘Amazone’ is specially equipped for dredging hard rock formations. She has a rock cutter head designed for great production rates with low down-time, thanks to an advanced quick teeth replacement system, a low spillage due to an optimized hydraulic design and highly durable teeth adapters with virtually maintenance-free contact surfaces.

The ‘Amazone’ is able to dredge at water depths up to 30m. As her sistership ‘Al Jarraf’, the ‘Amazone’ was built at the ASL shipyard in Singapore.

It is anticipated that all ships will remain at anchorage or berth, depending on conditions.

As with previous strikes, main roads and highways will be blocked in Buenos Aires including key access routes to the city. Although there have been a number of local and regional strikes during 2012 this is the first strike affecting the whole country and its transport infrastructure.

The USD30.7 million project will be co-financed by the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) with a loan of up to USD12 million. The loan will part finance 100m of mixed-gauge rail on the territory of the port which connect the Romanian and Moldovan railways where Romania, as the rest of the EU, uses narrow gauge and Moldova as well as the neighbouring Ukraine and other CIS countries uses broad gauge.

First of all, it will enable the trains to enter the port and, secondly, it will help avoid long hours of lifting each carriage to have its bogies changed.

The EBRD’s investment will be also used for balance sheet restructuring through the refinancing of the short-term debt with long-term loans.

With the help of the EBRD’s loan the port will become a multi-purpose logistics hub at the crossings of maritime trade routes between Eastern Europe and the EU, with due access to road, rail (broad and narrow gauges), the Danube River and the Black Sea.

Giurgiulesti International Free Port is located near the village of Giurgiule?ti, the southernmost point of Moldova, on the border with the EU and 10km away from the Romanian city of Gala?i, the largest port town on the Danube River. The project will contribute to an increased competition for Moldovan cargo traffic with the regional ports, including Gala?i in Romania and Odessa in Ukraine.
