Windward pier

The southern windward pier has a total length of about 1715 meters and protects the port from the ripples of the southern and south-western sector.

Leeward pier

The new leeward eastern pier of the port was constructed in 1999-2001 and protects the eastern basin from waves of the southern and south-eastern area.

 

Basin and maneuvering surfaces

The port of Alexandroupolis has got two basins: the western basin (at the western area of the port) with a total surface of ​​approximately 280 acres and the eastern basin of the new eastern sector of the port with a total surface of about 1100 acres.

Western basin (western sector of the port)

The perimeter of the western basin of the port has got platforms along its entire length. The main basin has a surface of ​​approximately 236 acres and a maneuver circle with a diameter of about 400 meters. The depth of the main basin ranges between -8.00 and -10.00m (MSL).

Two smaller sub-basins are situated at both ends of the north side of the western sector of the port: the basin of the boat harbor in the west, with a surface of about 12 acres and usable depth of -3.00 m (MSL) approximately and the basin of the small fishing port (ichthyoskala), surface of ​​about 31 acres and usable depth of -4.00m (MSL) approximately.

Eastern basin (eastern sector of the port)

After the completion of the dredging project in late 2015, the eastern basin of the port has a depth of -12.00 m (MSL) in a 500 acres surface and a maneuver circle with a diameter of about 500 meters. The approach of ships has been ensured by the excavation of a navigation channel with a total length of 3.5 km, minimum width of 160.0 meters and depth of -12.50 m (MSL).

Based on the approved Master Plan, the dredging of the eastern basin is to be extended to a total area of ​​about 667 acres, a maneuver circle with a diameter of about 730 m and final depth of -15,00m (MSL)

 

Inner port infrastructure
