DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM OF THE CRUISE TERMINAL OF TRIESTE (MOLO

BERSAGLIERI)

The program is part of a more extensive plan of modernization of the Port of Trieste which was

launched in 2007 with the approval of the Triennial Operative Plan 2007-2009 on behalf of the

committee of the Port of Trieste.

The Port Authority has underway the implementation of a plan of expansion for the cruise terminal,

subdivided into the following phases:

Phase 1: completed.

Phase 2: Restoration, redevelopment and modernization of hangar 42.

Phase 3: Extension of Molo Bersaglieri along the north shore.

Phase 4: Enlargement of Molo Bersaglieri along the south shore and completion of prolongation.

The following diagram shows the principal measurements of the berths and indicates depth.

It is highlighted that the measurements of berth 29 refers only to the docking zone which must

adhere to security measures which are set by precise boundaries.

If need be, being compatible with security measures, the quay in the landward direction for approx

30 m may be used for docking.

Following is the principal data relative to each phase of the operation.

Phase 2: Restoration, redevelopment and modernization of hangar 42

Fig. 4

The Port Authority of Trieste commenced the project of restoration, redevelopment andmodernization with the goal being the Maritime Station and Polifunctional Center of hangar 42

located at Molo Bersaglieri which is situated a short distance from Piazza Unit, in the heart of the

city of Trieste. The intervention which is also a work of conservation and valorization of prestigious

architectural elements, will accomplish the realization of the future arrivals area of the Passenger

Station. The project requires the allocation of more than ten million Euro and proposes the

polifuncional use of the structure which dates back to the early 1900s. It is foreseen the adaption

of the building for changing needs and more stringent security linked to the expanding flux of

tourist passengers in transit. By doing so another phase of the overall expansion plan of the Cruise

Terminal will be concluded to be followed by the extension of Molo Bersaglieri.

Transforming hangar 42 into a polifunctional building pursues the objective of optimizing the use

of the structure dedicating it to exhibitions, fairs and conferences during those times of the year

when inevitably passenger flow is less dynamic. Considering the prestigious nature of the building

and its location in the centre of the city it is proposed to open the buildings terrace and pathways to

the public.

Technical Description of the Intervention

When complete hangar 42 will be used as an extension of the Maritime Station and is intended as areception room and disembarkation zone for passengers.

Considering the limited dimension of the quayside and its position in relation to the shore the

renovation project of hangar 42 foresees for security purposes and for technical functions that there

is a clear distinction between the routes utilized by passengers and those assigned for technical use

on the landing platform.

Transfer of passengers from ships to the station will be achieved using cover and already existing

gangways in iron. In this way passengers will not occupy the landside quay space.

The project foresees to use the cover of hangar 42 for the embarking and disembarking of

passengers keeping in line with the original plan and reusing the gangways, all the while leaving the

platform clear for operations near the ship and for the movement of baggage, in this way limiting

security problems.

Passengers that disembark on the covered level using the gangways will then go down to the

ground level of hangar 42 using a system of escalators and elevators which passes through the

technical hub strategically placed between the two buildings.

In fact this system on the exterior of hangar 42 allows the stairs to be used also for embarkations

from both sides of the quay.

On the inside of hangar 42 security stairs will be constructed which run from the cover to the

ground floor, the technical hub containing the electrical system and backup generators cannot be

placed in any other area due to the dimensions of the quayside and that fact that all available space

will be utilized for port operations.

Inside hangar 42, there will be a baggage return system and subsequently passport and customscontrol. Hangar 42 will be fitted out for the functional needs described above whilst respecting all

Port health and safety acts and according to all laws relating to public buildings.

Internal distribution of works is as follows:

Stairs for access to the terrace and at gangway level Passenger toilets Staff toilets Commercial services Offices for custom control and border police Security filters and checks Baggage claim with external ramps for trolleys to allow entry of baggage Baggage will be transferred to the baggage claim with the use of a convoy of small tractors Entrance of the baggage convoys will take place using two different entrances and a ramp

which will be positioned at loading level on the wharf

The restructuration of hangar 42 (which recently received approval on behalf of theSuperintendent for Architectural Heritage for the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region) has a cost of

10,000,000 Euro and completion is foreseen for 2011.

Phase 3: Prolongation of Molo Bersaglieri along the north shore

The new expansion plan of the Port which is still being finalized also portends the prolongation of

Molo Bersaglieri for approximately 150 m. In this way easily allowing the mooring of ships with a

length of up to 360 m.

The first phase of the intervention entails the prolongation of the north shore for an area of

approximately 30m. The presumed cost of the operation is approximately 7 million Euro.

Based on data currently available it is possible to foresee the conclusion of this intervention in

2012.For berth 29 it is highlighted that the approach of ships longer than 300m is guaranteed by a system

of chains and mooring posts positioned on the seabed.

Phase 4: Enlargement and completion of prolongation of the pier along the south shore

The last phase of the works will achieve two things: on one side the prolongation of the pier for an

estimated length of 150 m and on the other side the enlargement of the north shore of approximately

15 m.

This last intervention, as well as guaranteeing more operational space for berth 30, will consent a

depth of 11 m also for the south shore of the pier.

The cost of the intervention is estimated at 12,000,000 Euro and completion is scheduled for 2014.
