Klaip\u0117da Port Authority in Lithuania has signed an agreement for the infrastructure buildout for the offshore wind energy projects, starting with the reconstruction of quays on Smelt\u0117 peninsula, which will ensure assembly, handling and transportation of offshore wind turbines.<\/span><\/p>\n The successful tenderer UAB Tilsta has been tasked with reconstructing the quays at the former International Ferry Port under the $37.9 million contract.<\/p>\n As the reconstructed quays will be used for assembly, handling, storage and transportation of wind turbines, the work site will be designed for high loads (40 t\/m2).<\/p>\n In total, around 453 m of quays will be reconstructed on Smelt\u0117 peninsula. The contractor has also been tasked with carrying out dredging works in the quays to a depth of 12 metres. The current depth is 10 metres.<\/p>\n The reconstruction of quays is expected to be completed by the end of 2026.<\/p>\n Further away from the quays, the depth of 12 meters has already been reached.<\/p>\n To support the offshore wind infrastructure development in the country, Klaip\u0117da State Seaport Authority and Klaip\u0117da Stevedoring Company KLASCO signed the investment agreement in May 2022.<\/p>\n The screening procedures for the environmental impact assessment of the potential project were finalized in November 2024. The Environmental Protection Agency has decided that these operations do not need the environmental impact assessment.<\/p>\n The technical design for the reconstruction of parts of quays No 149, 150, 151 was prepared by UAB Hidrosfera.<\/p>\n \u201cThe signing of the quays reconstruction contract signals the readiness of Klaip\u0117da Port to take an active part in the development of the offshore wind energy.<\/p>\n \u201cThe reconstruction of quays is not only the infrastructure upgrade, but also a contribution of Klaip\u0117da Port to the new generation energy projects. We are laying the foundations that will allow for offshore wind energy to become a significant part of the country\u2019s energy sector,\u201d said Algis Latakas, CEO of Klaip\u0117da State Seaport Authority.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n maritime professional<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Klaip\u0117da Port Authority in Lithuania has signed an agreement for the infrastructure buildout for the offshore wind energy projects, starting with the reconstruction of quays on Smelt\u0117 peninsula, which will ensure assembly, handling and transportation of offshore wind turbines.
