The Port System Authority of the Adriatic Sea Centrale has awarded the contract for the construction of new paving superstructures of quays 19, 20 and 21 of the Marche dock of the port of Ancona, with works concerning a front of the quay of 350 meters, with an area of about 15,500 square meters. The contract was awarded today for a contractual amount of over 2.8 million euros. The timing of execution are 329 days.

The first of the two types of interventions envisaged by the call on the area of the Marche dock where the grain silos once stood, demolished in 2019, provides for the new driveway pavement to the adaptation of platforms 19, 20, 21 to the requirements and standards and to make the area suitable for traffic, the operation of port vehicles and the loading and unloading and handling of goods. The second intervention is instead for the construction of disposal plants of rainwater.

The project also includes the preparation of underground services functional to the subsequent electrification of the docks involved in line with the objectives of EU and national energy sustainability. The works of paving of the three quays then represent a fundamental preparatory step to the movement of a part of the traffic ferries from the docks of the historic port as well as being a qualitative improvement of the berths available in the port doric.

"With this intervention - underlined the president of the Port Authority, Vincenzo Garofalo - let's recover spaces indispensable for the work of the port and for the development of further maritime traffic. We also set up an area where be able to move part of the ferry moorings away from the from the historic center to lighten the impact of these activities and improve the coexistence between the city of Ancona and its port".
