The location of the city of Belgrade, lying at the intersection of three important transport corridors (Rhine-Danube Corridor, road and railway Corridor X), provides the possibility of projecting competitive transshipment results.
The new Port of Belgrade, included as part of the TEN-T Inland Core Network and located on the Rhine-Danube Corridor, will provide a very important multimodal transport hub in the Western Balkans. The rehabilitation of Railway Corridor X in Serbia with its Xb and Xc branches, as well as the construction of the railway connection between the new Port of Belgrade and the Belgrade - Kelebija railway line, will connect the new Port of Belgrade to some of the most important TEN-T corridors, including the Orient/East-Med Corridor, the Mediterranean Corridor and the Baltic-Adriatic Corridor.
This WBIF technical assistance grant finances the preparation of the Pre-feasibility Study (including a market study, the surveys - geodetic, geotechnical, hydrographic, preliminary Environment and Social Impact Assessment, Cost-Benefit Analysis, and Option Analysis for various locations for the Port) and Conceptual Design for the preferred option of the final location of the Port.
The construction of the new Port of Belgrade will contribute to fast, safe, reliable and environmentally friendly transportation, and smooth flow of freight and mobility of people.
