The project was launched with an international open tender in 2012 (Call for Tender 34/2012), with a participation of six companies. The project budget of €1.000.000 was awarded to the above company for €790.000 plus VAT, whose proposal was approved as the most beneficial tender in terms of technical and economic elements of the Call for Tender.
With this project starts the effort to upgrade the energy field and lighting of the port, on the basis of energy saving and environmental protection, as the port operations are power intensive.
