ETK offentliggør hermed Notification of Intent for nedenstående projekt på vegne af NATO. Det danske forsvar finansierer ikke projektet. 1. General Framework The project “Capability Package 9A0995 – S.N. 3PL13005 – UPGRADE LA SPEZIA SEA TERMINAL” was initiated to address the deterioration of submarine pipelines and to bring into compliance the sole maritime point for the introduction and withdrawal of Jet A-1 fuel from the Northern Italy Pipeline System (N.I.P.S.), located on the east coast of La Spezia Gulf. 2. Description of the Works The project involves the construction of a marine terminal through the development of a new pier to allow the berthing of two vessels and the loading/unloading of Jet A-1 fuel to be transferred into the Northern Italy Pipeline System (N.I.P.S.). The intervention area is located on the eastern coast of the Gulf of La Spezia, and the new infrastructure will enhance environmental protection, safeguard public safety during fuel loading and unloading operations, and increase the resilience of Italian Defence and Allied assets. Main technical characteristics of the works: - Structure: approximately 550 m long pier with a width of approximately 7 m, including vehicular and pedestrian sections, supported by steel piles with reinforced concrete caps. - Capacity: design vessel up to 80,000 DWT (Deadweight Tonnage), currently limited to 40,000 DWT due to seabed depth constraints. - Systems: firefighting systems, electrical and mechanical systems, fuel transfer pipelines, stormwater drainage systems, CCTV surveillance and access control systems. - Mooring and protective structures: mooring dolphins and protective structures to ensure the safety of vessels and infrastructure. 3.
