ADC has completed a concept design for Anaklia Port and Free Industrial Zone. The Anaklia Deep Sea Port will cover approximately 400 hectares of land, and the consortium will have exclusive rights to use the land for 49 years.

Major aspects are the following:

    • Creation of a port capable of accommodating Post-Panamax Size Ship
    • Optimized land footprint (less than 40% of total 1,000 hectares).
    • Flexibility for multiple cargo and vessel types (Panamax, Handymax, Aframax)
    • Maximized facility throughput (intermodal, modern STS cranes, automation).
    • Minimized waterfront (dry bulk and liquid piers on breakwater).
    • Eco-friendly sustainable practice

 

The development of the new port is structured along several phases:

    • Phase 1: cargo turnover (throughput) of at least 7 million tons of cargo per annum
    • Phase 2: cargo turnover (throughput) of at least 14 million tons of cargo per annum
    • Phase 3: cargo turnover (throughput) of at least 21 million tons of cargo per annum
    • Phase 4: cargo turnover (throughput) of at least 30 million tons of cargo per annum
    • Phase 5: cargo turnover (throughput) of at least 40 million tons of cargo per annum
    • Phase 6: cargo turnover (throughput) of at least 55 million tons of cargo per annum
    • Phase 7: cargo turnover (throughput) of at least 70 million tons of cargo per annum
    • Phase 8: cargo turnover (throughput) of at least 85 million tons of cargo per annum
    • Phase 9: cargo turnover (throughput) of at least 100 million tons of cargo per annum
