The designs, which were already implemented, affecting all the facilities of the port. They include construction of new infrastructure, utilization of existing port facilities and not only but also the development of new modern actions. The goal of this ambitious design according to the president and CEO of ThPA SA Stelios Aggeloudis is twofold: "The port of Thessaloniki has to gain the place it deserves on the world map and port in this particular Southeastern Europe. At the same time be fully integrated into city life, be a continuity, even giving a clear and distinctive mark. "
The main elements of the new configuration of the port master plan are: 1. Extension sixth pier ranks among the "haunted" city projects, as discussed and implemented ... for about fifteen years. Finally after much procrastination and setbacks on December 8, 2010 the project was tendered. If there are no contingencies in the evolution of the competition, and spring is expected to declare the contractor, who will be installed in 2011 and will begin building the project, which according to the plans will be completed by 2015. Tomorrow Tuesday opened the files of 27 companies that expressed interest. The expansion of the pier is the sixth most important infrastructure project for the development of the harbor, and will cover one of the major weaknesses, which is the capacity of the Container Terminal, which after the construction of the project will be tripled (from 405.000 TEUs to 1.240 million . TEUs). It will allow large ships to approach multiple loads of today and will be a significant modernization of facilities with the operation of modern high performance machinery. The project involves the extension of the western part of the jetty by 550 feet long, 365 wide and 16 deep. The total project budget amounts to about 210 million, of which 2. Modern freight logistics center Points important to the competitiveness of the port is expected to give up the center of transport and logistics.This combined with the planned construction of the Railway freight center in the former camp Gonou will give significant advantages in Thessaloniki, in the freight sector. The next time the administration of the Thessaloniki Port Authority SA will promote the construction of the downtown area of approximately 90 acres at the base of the sixth pier. The design allows future expansion of the center, the total cost of investment to rise from the original 25 to about 40 million. Indicative of the importance of investing is that in the recent past have shown interest in the whole venture companies, giants in the fields of real estate and freight. The investment will probably join the Thessaloniki Port Authority SA, while the management planned to be assigned to a private strategic partner. Meanwhile completed these days work additional configuration repository container pier in the sixth. This will help to demonstrate safe concentration of all export products, many of which are currently stored in warehouses outside the port, which poses risks. 3. Rail and road links the benefits of extending the sixth pier and operating modern freight logistics center will be minimal if no rail and road connections to the grids of goods to the Balkan countries. "The rapid transfer of goods in connection with the greatest possible scope to the countries of Southeast Europe will drop significantly the final cost of transport by making the port more competitive," notes Mr. angel. The Thessaloniki Port Authority SA management considers that road and railway connecting the port with the major networks are entirely feasible, does not require exorbitant amounts is not very time consuming, "as long as there is political will on the relevant," says Mr. angel. The rail link is considered relatively easy, as there are basic infrastructure, while the road is only required to construct a road length of 850 meters, and connecting the gate of the port 16 by Pathe and Egnatia Street.This road has been designed but not built to lack of funds. 4. Marina In February planned to auction the work construction of a marina for yachts, with a capacity of 250 seats, of which 30 to 50 relate to large vessels. The marina will be built at the end of the first pier facing the city.The auction will be based on an earlier study of the municipality of Thessaloniki, which updated the Thessaloniki Port Authority SA by prior agreement with the newly elected mayor Yiannis Boutari. The plants will be mainly inland, but will be built and a small mound. 5. Cruises The port can contribute decisively to the tourism and economic regeneration of the city. It aims at the joint initiative taken days before the Thessaloniki Port Authority. SA, the city of Thessaloniki, the Chamber of Commerce and Traders Association to establish Thessaloniki as a cruise destination. The target is 2012, the city has already entered the world map of cruise to Thessaloniki bringing tens of thousands of visitors annually. The next time the above four players will advance to the eight actions foreseen under the Cooperation Agreement signed.Within the next few days that Mr. Aggeloudis with Mr. Boutari will visit Israel to promote the coastal link Thessaloniki with Israel in order to attract tourists, taking advantage of the city's historical ties with the Jewish community. Will take a similar trip in Istanbul and Izmir. Those envisaged to be undertaken in 2011 included a bilingual booklet with the comparative advantages of Thessaloniki and the region, participation-for the first time as a city and not just as a port-to the world's largest cruise report in March in Miami and the integration of ThPA Agency Mediterranean Cruise Ports MedCruise. With particular regard to the Thessaloniki Port Authority, in the coming months work will be landscaping the passenger terminal at the port, and have already started contacts for the grant of the historic building by the Ministry of Finance which Thessaloniki Port Authority SA is in reference to their summer destinations, the lines will be the same up and down these levels in recent years. That would be sought, good ferry connection with the islands of Sporades and one with two ships a week for the rest of the Aegean islands. 6. Property development are an important part of the port is not used for port purposes. These areas in the Thessaloniki Port Authority SA plans to capitalize on the development of commercial and tourist farms. In this context in 2011 will complete the planned total renovation of the first pier, which has already started months ago. In this context have already removed all parking areas, and by summer will be "released" all buildings occupied by the Coast Guard, the kindergarten, which will be closed, etc. Designed to help them towards development of cultural activities such as establishing naval museum, organizing events, etc.The design for the first pier inserted into the overall plan for using the port property, which will be developed in cooperation with an advisor, the choice of which will be done by public tender in progress. 7. Environmental and aesthetic improvement and attention will be paid to the environmental upgrading of the port. In this direction the Thessaloniki Port Authority SA has already prepared an action plan, most of which will unfold in 2011. Already chosen by tendering company to draft EIA and was completed days before the planting of 1,500 trees along the port area. Source: JOURNAL OF MACEDONIA
