ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY<br />

Rn: 03-033 CONTAINER TERMINAL PLOCE <strong>PAGE</strong>: 15<br />

Such a new technological organization considerably reduces the internal<br />

traffic in the old part <strong>of</strong> the Ploce Port.<br />

This new organization would not increase the environmental impacts but<br />

rather reduce them. Such a conclusion is based on the fact that the cargo will<br />

be more rationally handled and trans<strong>port</strong>ed, which is precisely the main goal<br />

<strong>of</strong> the new construction.<br />

B.2.4.5.2 ON THE SEA<br />

General characteristics <strong>of</strong> the access navigation path and ships berthing and<br />

lying at berth are:<br />

• Berths are protected from sea currents, wind and waves<br />

• Water around the berths is deep enough for ships to maneuver freely,<br />

so that UKC is not problematic<br />

• Navigation marks along the navigation path and in the berthing area<br />

are all right<br />

• Free area in front <strong>of</strong> the future container terminal is big enough for the<br />

ships <strong>of</strong> the anticipated size to do the necessary maneuver operations<br />

Since the docking in or docking out the basin between Quay 5 and Quay 7 is<br />

considered to be a maneuver, and not free navigation, it can be concluded<br />

that ships lying at anchor at Quay 7 <strong>of</strong> the container terminal will not hinder a<br />

safe passage <strong>of</strong> the ships docking in or out the basin Rijeka.<br />

In terms <strong>of</strong> safe navigation, docking in and out the Quay 7 <strong>of</strong> the container<br />

terminal will at certain times disturb the arrival to/departure from the basin<br />

between Quay 5 and Quay 7. Since tugboats must be used because <strong>of</strong> the<br />

ships’ size, simultaneous maneuvering <strong>of</strong> two ships in this basin will be<br />

forbidden. Exceptions will be allowed in case that real dimensions <strong>of</strong> two<br />

smaller ships intending to do the docking in/out maneuvers are<br />

acknowledged, depending also on hydrological and meteorological conditions.<br />

It can be concluded that the new Quay 7 <strong>of</strong> the container terminal would<br />

affect safe docking in/out the basin between Quay 5 and Quay 7. It will<br />

be necessary to regulate additional proceeding for safe docking in the<br />

basin <strong>of</strong> the Ploce Port.<br />
