An investment of over 6.7 million euros is planned
Today the Port System Authority of the Ligurian Sea Occidentale has launched the tender for the assignment of the restoration and strengthening of the quays 32 and 33 of the Deep Seabed Area of the port of Savona, with the goal of starting the works by the end of this year and returning full operation to one of the most relevant areas for the ro-ro traffic of cars and operating machinery. Bids must be submitted no later than next August 12th.
The project, called “P.829 – structures of the ‘Scassa 33’ and the ‘Zone 32 South’ quay”, provides for an investment of over 6.7 million euros, with an amount based on tender for the award of the executive design of approximately 5.5 million euros. The works will consist not only of the restoration of the damaged docks, but also in their enhancement, through the construction of new structural adjustments, the deepening of the hydraulic tie rod and the installation of quay furniture and seabed protection. Such interventions are aimed at ensuring greater stability and long-term security, in line with the most up-to-date technical standards and with the expected increase in naval traffic volumes.
The need for the intervention emerged following structural failures that occurred in March 2024, caused by a series of meteorological and marine events of particular intensity. The consolidation action will therefore be accompanied by preventive measures aimed at combating erosion and protecting the integrity of the quay foot, thus ensuring infrastructure durability and continuity of port operations.
