Estimate of the Influence of the Port of Rijeka Soya Beans and Grain Terminal Reconstruction on the Environment

Beside the port of Koper and Triest, the port of Rijeka represents a part of the international traffic system in the North Adriatic that the trade flows from the Mediterranean to Central Europe circulate through. The Republic of Croatia realises the greatest part of its import and export of goods through the port of Rijeka, being at the same time the most important Croatian seaport for the transit of goods using the Croatian trade flows. The transit of goods through the port of Rijeka is in particular directed towards Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as towards Yugoslavia, after the political and economic relations being back to normal, in which case the transport of soya beans and grain is of great importance. The concession given to the Hungarian and Croatian joint venture company for the construction of a soya beans storehouse within the grain terminal, offers a possibility of reconstructing the already existing silos and transhipment facilities. Based on the planned and preinvestment documentation of the Port of Rijeka Authorities, the new storehouse together with the transhipment facilities are defined as one of the priority premises in the development stage of the port of Rijeka. The construction of a new soya beans storehouse will be realised in two stages, each of a 15, 000 tons capacity. Since this new storehouse equipped with new transhipment facilities is to be built on the site of the old wharfside warehouses, a special attention is to be paid to the introduction of new technical, technological and ecological solutions. This paper aims at working out and analysing the technical, technological and ecological requirements to be met in the reconstruction of the already existing and construction of a new soya beans and grain storehouse, thus suggesting appropriate measures and a new concept for the construction of a new soya beans and grain terminal within the port of Rijeka.

Key words: soya beans and grain terminal; the port of Rijeka; influence on the environment; measures for the environmental protection; soya beans storehouse; silos; soya beans and grain transhipment technology; reconstruction; construction.
