At today's session of the Government of the Republic of Croatia, a decision was made to approve the signing of a contract for the extraordinary maintenance of the ship ramp and upstream bank fortifications in Sisak. The decision was made based on the proposal of the Management Board of the Public Institution Sisak Port Authority, which previously conducted a public procurement procedure for this project.

The project "Extraordinary maintenance of the ship ramp and upstream bank fortifications with the associated runway and infrastructure due to earthquake damage according to the restoration project" includes the repair of damage caused by the earthquake in Sisak. The contractor chosen is Vodoprivreda Sisak d.d. Sisak, which offered the most economically advantageous bid in the public procurement procedure.

The value of the works is estimated at 962,000.00 euros, including VAT. The works will include all necessary repair interventions on the existing ship ramp and upstream bank fortifications to ensure their functionality and safety. This project is of great importance for the city of Sisak and its surroundings, as it will enable the smooth operation of the port infrastructure and improve conditions for all users.

The deadline for the completion of the works is set at five months from the date the contractor is introduced to the job. Vodoprivreda Sisak d.d. Sisak will start the works immediately upon signing the contract and introduction to the job. It is expected that the works will be carried out in accordance with the highest quality and safety standards.

This investment represents a significant step in the restoration of infrastructure damaged by the earthquake and ensures the continuation of normal port activities in Sisak. In addition, the works will contribute to increasing navigation safety and protecting the coast from erosion. The project will also create new jobs during the duration of the works, which will have a positive impact on the local economy.

The Government of the Republic of Croatia recognizes the importance of quick and effective action in mitigating the consequences of natural disasters and will continue to support similar projects throughout Croatia. It is expected that the completion of this project will significantly improve the state of infrastructure in Sisak and ensure better conditions for all users of the port infrastructure. This project is just one of many steps the Government is taking to ensure the quick and effective recovery of affected areas.
