Umweltaspekte

Consisting of civil works inside the existing port breakwaters and provision of cargo handling equipment, the project only has a limited impact on the environment. Specific environmental aspects (such as deposit of dredged materials) will be reviewed in technical studies to be carried out with the detailed design phase of the project.

Auftragsvergabe

Procurement of the major civil works and equipment contracts, either financed by the Bank or the Syrian budget, will be through open tenders advertised in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
