Five companies, three from Romania and the other two from Greece and Turkey, on Monday submitted expressions of interest to build a passenger terminal in the Constanta Harbour. This is a 2.2-3.2 million euro project, exclusive of VAT. “Out of the nine companies that bought the tender documents, five submitted bids today (i.e. Monday) – IFCO SA Constanta, Deltacons SA Tulcea, Convas Construct Constanta, Guris Ankara (Turkey), and Athena SA (Greece),” the National Administration of Maritime Harbours Constanta (ANPMC) announced on Monday. The works with regard to this project will take 7 to 18 months to complete, with the financing provided by the state budget and by ANPMC’s own resources. The project entails erecting a structure made up of three independent wings taking up a total of 3,700 sqm. This structure will allow the separate processing of passengers from arrivals and international departures and will also provide a location for the customs authorities, border police, sanitary-veterinarian police and Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI) to operate from.
