Investments
We present key infrastructure projects, from the expansion of terminals and piers, through the modernization of navigation and energy systems, to the construction of a parking platform and stormwater drainage.
West Pier
The pier is located on the west side of the existing T2 Terminal. Functionally, it is an extension of T2 Terminal by a further 180 metres, with a width of 46 metres. Structurally, it is completely a separate facility. A structural expansion joint has been designed at the junction of the existing part of the Terminal and the pier.
