Galati Multimodal Platform Stage I quay works

Crawler crane installing steel sheet piles during Galati Multimodal Platform Stage I quay construction

CN APDM SA Galati; exact Stage I quay construction progress image

Romania's Maritime Danube Ports Administration is modernising the existing quay in Galati's Port Bazinul Nou as the marine first stage of a wider multimodal platform. The package combines dredging, an 868-metre vertical sheet-pile quay, partial basin infill, ground and platform works and direct ship-to-quay handling space for intermodal loading units.

Project anatomy

Contract scope and delivery roles

Client / authority
Compania Nationala Administratia Porturilor Dunarii Maritime SA Galati (CN APDM), Romania's Maritime Danube Ports Administration
Delivery parties
Concivia SA - lead member of the awarded works association, Vepex Com SRL - member of the awarded works association, Socot SA - member of the awarded works association, Hercules SA - named subcontractor; APDM does not publish a bounded workshare, AMC Electric SRL - named subcontractor; APDM does not publish a bounded workshare, Terratest Geotehnic SA - named subcontractor; APDM does not publish a bounded workshare, Ingenieria Especializada Obra Civil e Industrial SA and Baicons Impex - design and technical-assistance association named by APDM, TPF Inginerie and Getinsa Euroestudios - works-supervision association identified in APDM's 2025 report
Contract route
APDM signed works contract 11114/27.07.2023 with the Concivia, Vepex Com and Socot association on 27 July 2023. The owner announcement stated RON 205,257,030.09 including VAT and a 20-month works duration. TED's later notices record a RON 172,484,899.23 baseline excluding VAT, then successive duration, technical and price modifications. The latest notice, 361024-2026, states RON 202,019,993.72 and a further 4-month-23-day extension.
Execution window
The supervisor issued the works start order in August 2023. APDM reported 62.04% physical progress at 30 June 2025 and recorded several extensions tied to high Danube water levels, construction-authorisation responses, Dana 46 technical revisions and ground conditions. TED then published further extension notices in December 2025 and May 2026. The project page's displayed 31 December 2025 implementation end is therefore not treated as completion evidence.
Works package
Dredge the Port Bazinul Nou basin for safe vessel access; modernise the existing quay for direct loading and unloading of intermodal loading units between ship and quay; build approximately 868 metres of vertical sheet-pile quay; partially fill the basin to create additional berth and handling territory; adapt the foundation solution where field conditions require; and complete the platform earthworks, utilities and level profile. APDM's linked Stage II page attributes 30,051 square metres of new port territory to the Stage I quay investment, but that area is not an accepted as-built measurement.
Marine interfaces
The work is being executed in a live Danube port basin and combines dredging, sheet-pile installation, foundation improvement, basin infill, quay construction, utilities and navigation access. APDM tied extensions to high-water levels and permitting responses, while the Dana 46 redesign shows a direct interface between existing ground conditions, quay geometry, execution duration and price.
Commercial evidence boundary
The original owner announcement stated RON 205.25703009 million including VAT. TED's July 2025 modification record raised the stated contract value to RON 192.73877751 million, the August 2025 record to RON 202.02126398 million, and the May 2026 record reduced it by RON 1,270.26 to RON 202.01999372 million. APDM separately reports project funding budgets, including RON 219.35603653 million for the 2021-2027 transport-programme stage. These are different ledgers and are not interchangeable with certified work or final account value.

Latest TED notice extended the recorded execution duration again

Notice 361024-2026 added 4 months and 23 days and reduced the stated contract value by RON 1,270.26 to RON 202.01999372 million. It is contract-change evidence, not proof of physical completion or a revised accepted end date.

Source

Ground conditions drove another value and duration change

TED notice 564891-2025 records adaptation of the foundation solution to actual field conditions, regularised site instructions and another extension, lifting the stated contract value to RON 202.02126398 million.

Source

APDM measured physical progress at 62.04%

The owner recorded active execution, named the three subcontractors and linked revised technical-economic indicators to Dana 46 changes. This remains the latest dated owner physical-progress percentage located.

Evidence gap

What remains unverified

Outstanding evidence

  • Owner progress measurement after 30 June 2025
  • Effect of the May 2026 extension on the contractual completion date
  • Dana 46 ground-improvement and technical-revision close-out
  • Dredging quantity, achieved berth depth and out-survey
  • Sheet-pile quay completion and structural acceptance
  • Basin-infill volume, material source and geotechnical acceptance
  • Individual workshares of Concivia, Vepex Com and Socot
  • Package boundaries for Hercules, AMC Electric and Terratest Geotehnic
  • Completion certificate, handover, performance-security release and final account
