EU to help finance €34m Tulcea port project
EU funds will finance 75% of a €34 million project to rehabilitate and modernise the port and the riverfront in Tulcea, the main local entry point to the region of the Danube Delta, Romania.
The EU will fund the project through the Large Infrastructure Operational Program. Of the total project cost, 23% will be allocated through the state budget and 2% by the budget of the County Council of Tulcea.
Max Boegl Romania, part of German group Max Boegl, won the public bid and will undertake the works.
The project will improve conditions for mooring the river vessels, rehabilitate and extend the utilities, and modernise the riverfront of the municipality.
In addition, the docking areas for goods and for passengers will be separated by pedestrian areas, so as to turn the entire riverfront - which has a length of over 1.5km - into an attraction alternative. Work should finish by the end of 2022.
