LUKA “HIP-AZOTARA”PANČEVO

The geographical position of the Port, that is its multimodal

transport connection to the European regions, countries, rivers

and seas have significantly contributed to the choice of Pančevo

as the location where the powerful chemical industry would be

built, and which would, using its overall potentials ( including

river, railway and road infrastructure) help the successful

development of the domestic economy and its efficient

participation in the global division of labour. The aquatorium of

the factory Port, covering the area of nearly 30 hectares, is

and the complex of factory docks itself is located in the

immediate vicinity of Belgrade.

Due to its infrastructural potentials the „HIP-AZOTARA“

Port is connected to the following important routes: Pan-

European Corridor 7- the waterway stretching from the North

to the Black Sea through the Rhein-Main-Danube canal; the

Pan-European Corridor 10, going from the west of Europe and

passing through Pančevo; and The Serbian Railways-“ HIP-

AZOTARA“ Pančevo has at its disposal a marshalling yard

and over 15 kilometres of railway tracks used for the transport

of one million tonnes of goods per annum.

The Port’s dock is basin type. The width of the entrance is

120 meters, and basin itself enables the access of river-sea

ships of over 3000 t capacity. Under favourable hydrometeorological

conditions on the whole course of the Danube, the „HIP-AZOTARA“

Pančevo Port operates on average 345 days a year, which is

exactly the annual navigational period on the longest river in

European Union.

When in 1957 the construction of the

first phase of Chemical Industry Pančevo

was started, it was immediately followed

by the construction works on the 1800m long

navigable channel, and the dock of the future

450 m long and 200 m wide Port of „HIP-AZOTARA“

Pančevo. As the place where various forms of

transportation are connected and intersected, it

was originally used for quick and economical

delivery of equipment necessary for the construction

of <<Chemical Industry Pančevo>>, and then

for the delivery of the most important raw

materials for the production of nitric fertilizers,

as well as for the shipment of „ HIP-AZOTARA"’s

final products. Today, by providing services to an

increasing number of business partners and by

increasing the capacity of the overall port activities,

it has become a significant participant both in

international transport and international trade.

located at the 1152 kilometer of the left bank of the Danube,nd

The oblique quay. The pictures show a moored ship which carried an impressive industrial object: „The fractioner“-

53 m long, 6,99 m in diameter and weighing 213000 kg without steel girders. This object placed on the chassis reaches

the height of 9,86 m. In this position it was transported on special vehicles within the factory grounds, and then using the

public road it passed by the Azotara’s office building on its way to NIS Gazprom Neft’s Oil Refinery in Vojlovica near Pančevo.

Basin type docks

Cranes on the vertical quay

Loading hopper for limestone with belt conveyor

Unloading, reloading and loading of goods reach annual

quantities of 76 000 tonnes, however this is certainly not a

final and predetermined limit. Along the navigable part of the

dock there are two quays, closely linked- the oblique quay

200 meters long with one loading-unloading terminal and the

vertical quay 250 meters long with three loading-unloading

terminals.

Although both quays lie on very hard banks, the oblique

quay is especially equipped for the reloading of heavy cargo.

Its capacity reaches 1 800 tonnes. The heaviest cargo in the

Balkans, approximately 600 tonnes, was unloaded at this

quay and, as it was estimated by the experts, the quay

withstood. The vertical quay has the capacity of up to 450

tonnes. Virtually all types of cargo are received here: bulk

cargo and general cargo, but also cargo in bags of various

sizes, as well as on pallets.

The Port possesses three cranes of up to five tonnes

capacity, whereas the capacity for loading and unloading

the goods in bulk, jumbo bags (500 kg) and pallets ranges

from 600 to 800 tonnes a day.

The Port possesses a platform for loading the vessels from

tip trucks, and a loading hopper for trucks with the capacity

of 400 tonnes a day.

A 120 tonnes per hour capacity belt conveyor connects

the docks with the NPK complex and blended fertilizers

production plant.

At the eastern part of the dock there are two terminals

for liquid cargo. The older one is used for loading of

ammonia, and the newer one for loading of UAN on

ships. The UAN terminal has been in use since 2007

when >> HIP- AZOTARA<< started producing this

popular liquid nitrogen fertilizer.

The oblique quay. The pictures show

the ships that have arrived to the „HIP-

AZOTARA“ Pančevo Port after a long

journey down Rhein-Main-Danube

waterway, carrying exceptionally heavy

cargo. Two industrial objects:“Hydrocracker

reactor“ weighing 530350 kg and

„Hydrotreater reactor“ weighing 487900 kg

were efficiently reloaded in the „ HIP-

AZOTARA“ Pančevo Port and transported

using special vehicles to their final destination

- Oil Rafinery Pančevo, part of the NIS

Gazprom Neft Company.

The management of „ HIP-

AZOTARA“ Pančevo is dedicated

to continuous technical and

technological modernization

of the Port in order to improve

the Port’s infrastructure, expand

the range of activities, and increase

the speed of loading and unloading

ships, that is to reduce the retention

time of ships in the Port. The open

and enclosed storage facilities will

be expanded and improved within

a short time, and it is also expected

that the reloading of euro-disel and

LPG in the Port will be performed

in the near future.The increase in

the Port’s capacities will certainly

produce the increase in the

economic, environmental and

technological standards of all the

activities in the Port.

Infrastructure:

About 20000m² of enclosed storage space.

The aquatorium covering the area of 29,34 ha, 4,5

metres deep

The length of the dock is 450 meters (450 and 1800 tonnes capacity)

30 km roads

15,2 km railway tracks

Ship-loading terminal for liquid fertilizers

Four loading-unloading terminals for heavy, general and bulk cargo for various means of transport

Equipment:

Three portal cranes of 5t capacity

Funnel-shaped ship-loader for bulk cargo

Feeding hopper for limestone with conveyor belt

Raw materials feeding hopper for trucks

Two locomotives, 300 and 600 hp

Six forklifts

Seven loaders: Ult 160 and Ult 220

One truck crane, 50t capacity

Two excavators

Two weigh stations of the weighing range up to 100t

Railroad scales of the weighing range up to 100t

Two tractors, five trailers, as well as other working

equipment

There is nothing too hard for us!
