Port development in Lituania - Projecting of the sea port Klaipeda

The following report is concerned with the implemented planning works regarding the future development and extension of Klaipeda Sea Port. A sustainable development of the existing port facilities as well as its extension will be required to meet the demanding and highly competitive challenges of global trade and the growing flow of commodities. This port development project comprises the aspects of the development of the existing port infrastructure and superstructure as well as suggestions for the improvement of the general competitiveness and the port administration. The possibilities of the territorial development of Klaipeda Port are limited to the adjacent city area as well as the adjacent natural protection area. Besides the optimization of the existing port facilities, various port locations at the Baltic Sea coast of Lithuania had to be evaluated concerning the external port development. For the most suitable alternatives the technical development plans had to be developed, the financial-economic evaluation had to be implemented as well as the required environmental approvals had to be obtained.
