In the last few days, Luka Koper published a public procurement for one of the company’s largest and most important projects in the coming years. The investment will include the construction of a container quay and additional storage space in the northern part of Pier 1. The deadline for submission of tenders is 30 September 2024.
The public tender is intended for the construction of a quayside of 326 metres, 7 hectares of stacking and handling areas, dredging and the construction of the necessary power infrastructure. The quay is designed as a reinforced concrete structure, which will be founded on deep steel piles foundations. These will be drilled up to 66 metres below the seabed to ensure adequate load-bearing capacity and stability. The project is not only challenging from a construction point of view, as it will also be necessary to ensure the smooth operation of all adjacent terminals and maritime activities during construction. According to the timetable, work is expected to start early next year and be completed by the end of 2027.
