Sweco to design new sea port terminal in Lithuania

Sweco has been awarded a major contract in connection with expansion and
renovation of the Passenger and Cargo Terminal at the Baltic Sea port of
Klaipeda in Lithuania. The contract is worth about EUR 1 million.

Every year the Lithuanian coastal city of Klaipeda attracts a growing
number of tourists, who often arrive on ferries or cruise ships. The
city is also an important hub for cargo traffic, where the port plays a
central role. This is creating an urgent need for a port with a high
capacity for both passenger and cargo traffic. In order to prepare for
anticipated future volumes, Sweco has been commissioned to upgrade the
port's infrastructure.

”We are delighted to have been entrusted with the vital infrastructure
initiative this project represents. The port is of major importance for
all of Lithuania and after the renovation it will meet all of the
demands placed on a modern and sustainable transport centre,” says
Audrius Bunevičius, Project Manager at Sweco in Lithuania.   

Sweco's assignment is to design and deliver infrastructures such as new
quays, ramps and a pier, a complex task that will require Sweco to
involve experts in a number of different areas.

The new port is expected to be completed during 2013.
