The Lithuanian Ministry of Transport and Communications have issued a tender for the operation and development of Marvele cargo port PPP in Kaunas, Lithuania. A state-funded development of the inland cargo port’s basic infrastructure was completed last year, and the Ministry is now looking for a concessionaire to take over responsibility for operating and further developing the Marvele cargo port.

The winning bidder will operate the port for 25 years and will assume all demand risk. The expected capital investment for the project is €11 million (US$12.5 million). The scope of the project includes extending the dock by a further 80 metres at least. The winning bidder will also be required to add internal roads and utilities infrastructure, storage facilities, and loading equipment such as cranes and reach stackers.

The project is being completed in two stages. The first stage was completed in July, 2015. It was funded by the EU and the Lithuanian Government. The project included a 120 meter dock, more than 1 hectare of warehousing space, a spacious loading site, access roads, and utilities infrastructure.

The second stage will be developed though the PPP model. The winning bidder will operate the port for 25 years including the construction period, and it will assume all demand risk. The expected capital investment for the project is €11 million (US$12.2 million). The scope of the project includes extending the dock by a further 80 meters at least. The winning bidder will also be required to add internal roads and utilities infrastructure, storage facilities, and loading equipment such as cranes and reach stackers.

3rd of June 10:00 is the deadline to submit participation requests for Marvele cargo port concession tender.
