Above paper was prepared in 2016 for TransNav
2017. All presented projects were taken in
consideration and finally were adopted by Port of

Idea of inner small oil terminal for small coastal
tankers located on Szczecinskie and Wislane quays
seems to be closer to realization , especially after
eliminatingpsychologicalbarrierofsomepeopleand
institution afraid to locate oil terminal practically in
the center of port and ship repairing yard area
(project
5).
Concept to locate universal quay alongside
pipeline pier of North Port (project 4) press Port
Authorities to establish new, modern concept of
safety and security system of monitoring and full
controlofanypotentialrisks.
