Our project Baku International Sea Trade port

Recent infrastructure developments in Baku City, location of the current seaport in the central, dense part of the city, difficulties for railway and freight vehicles which have to arrive at the seaport crossing central districts of the city, as well as aging of seaport installations, which do not comply with modern standards, limit the seaport operations and reduce its capability. To this end, a need for development of a new seaport has emerged. According to the Decree of the President of Azerbaijan Republic dated to October 18, 2007, the Government of Azerbaijan decided to move Baku International Sea Trade Port (BISTP) near Alat town, located 65 km to the south of Baku. The Ministry of Transport (MT) of the Republic of Azerbaijan is in charge of moving the seaport to its new location. Assessment of Impacts on Natural and Social-Economic Environment (EIA) for the new BISTP Project are performed. EIA identifies potential impacts on natural environment and social situation onshore and offshore during construction and operation phases of the Project. Mitigation of potential negative impacts is also assessed. Mitigation measures are detailed in Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and Environmental Monitoring Plan.
