The time of the contract is 35 years. This is the first concession in Bulgaria, which is being accomplished on the principle: build, operate and return. The project for building of a new ferryboat terminal on the river Danube with financial means of the state, as well as with private capital is the first project accomplished in our country. The port terminal is intended to process ro-ro freights and post, as well as to offer passengers- and sea-technical services (water supplies, phone services and electricity for the ships). Its area covers 65 189 quadrate meters.
