Romania Will Join Schengen Area On March 27, 2011 – Interior Minister


Romania’s Interior Minister Vasile Blaga promised Romanians on Friday that Romania will join the Schengen Area on March 27, 2011, and that Romanian authorities will use a plan of priority measures to meet all requirements for accession to the Schengen Area until December 2010.

Blaga stressed that securing the European Union foreign borders will not translate into a barrier over the River Prut.

"I have a message for our brothers in the Republic of Moldova: securing the foreign borders of the European Union, which stretch onto 2,070 kilometers, does not translate into a barrier across the River Prut", said, Blaga, adding Romania will secure and have special control over all foreign borders and on the Prut.

Blaga on Friday reached the Damen shipyard in Galati, eastern Romania, where he attended the launch of a surveillance ship that will be used by the Romanian Border Police.

Construction works on ship "MAI 1105" set off in January 2009 and the value of project financed from European Union funds amounts to EUR24,750,000.

The ship uses high-tech devices needed for constant surveillance over the maritime space, especially the foreign borders of the European Union, Romania's Interior Ministry said in a press release Friday.

The ship is properly equipped for long-term missions, at long distances from the shore, in the contiguous zone and in Romania's own economic zone, and for reception and conveyance of data and information toward the surveillance and control system, the press release also reads.

"MAI 1105" is the first of a series of 38 ships about to extend the fleet of the Romanian Border Police.

1st LNG Project in the Black Sea

Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Romanian are jointly launching a liquefied natural gas (LNG) project, designated as the Azerbaijan-Georgia-Romania Interconnector (AGRI). The three governments regard their project as an element in the EU-planned Southern Corridor for Caspian gas to Europe.

AGRI envisages transporting Azerbaijani gas by pipeline to Georgia"s Black Sea coast, liquefying it there, shipping the liquefied product by tankers to Romania"s coast, and delivering the re-gasified product into Romania"s pipeline system and onward to EU territory.

On April 13, Azerbaijan"s Industry and Energy Minister, Natig Aliyev, his Georgian and Romanian counterparts Alexander Khetaguri and Adriean Videanu respectively, signed in Bucharest an inter-governmental memorandum on production and transportation of LNG. AGRI is the first-ever LNG project in the Black Sea. Underscoring the significance of LNG to the EU"s energy security, Romania is asking the EU to elevate AGRI to the status of a European priority project (Rompres, Agerpres, April 13–15).

The project involves the construction of a liquefaction plant and LNG export terminal for Azeri gas in Georgia, as well as an import terminal with re-gasification plant in Romania. The suggested coastal locations are Kulevi, site of the Azerbaijani-owned oil export terminal in Georgia; and Constanta, the largest Black Sea port, in Romania. With the Romania-Hungary pipeline interconnection, Arad-Szeged, soon due to become operational, AGRI can open the way for Azerbaijani gas exports into Central Europe.

The three participant countries are appointing a joint commission to draft the financial, commercial, and technical feasibility studies for the project. The group shall be headquartered in Bucharest. Preliminary estimates of the investment costs vary from $2 billion to $5 billion. The duration of construction work is estimated at four years. According to some preliminary assessments, AGRI can bring at least 7 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas into Europe, resulting from re-gasification of Azerbaijani LNG (Trend Capital, www.day.az, April 13-15).

Romania had previously signed bilateral memoranda of understanding (MOU"s) at ministerial levels regarding LNG transportation, with Georgia in October 2009 and with Azerbaijan in February 2010. These paved the way for the tripartite inter-governmental agreement on the project. Romanian President Traian Basescu, by profession a merchant marine captain, is a long-time proponent of LNG transportation in the Black Sea with a terminal in his native city, Constanta. Basescu hailed the AGRI signing as a significant contribution to the European Union"s energy security goals.

Some Romanian government officials claim that AGRI can be completed ahead of the Nabucco project (Ziarul Financiar, Nine O"Clock). Such assertions are apt to create an impression that AGRI and Nabucco compete against each other. Nabucco, however, remains undoubtedly the central element in the EU-planned Southern Corridor.

From Baku"s perspective, the AGRI LNG provides one additional option for transportation of Azeri gas to Europe. Apart from LNG, Baku is also considering the option of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). Azerbaijan"s MOU"s, signed in latter part of 2009 with Georgia and Bulgaria, envisage the possible shipping of Azeri compressed gas via Georgia and the Black Sea to Europe. This trilateral configuration resembles that of AGRI, apart from Bulgaria being the shipping destination for CNG in the western Black Sea.

Baku"s export options begin, however, with Nabucco in order of preference, though involving transit via Turkey to Europe; the Interconnector Turkey-Greece-Italy; export to (or via) Russia: and export to Iran. According to the Azeri state oil company"s President Rovnag Abdullayev, “The variety of these options will allow us to choose the right path”.

Georgia equally supports the LNG and CNG options for Azeri gas exports. Criss-crossed by currently operating transit routes and potential ones, Georgia welcomes the AGRI project for confirming the country"s reliability and buttressing (along with the other potential routes) EU and Euro-Atlantic interest in Georgia"s stability.

The LNG and CNG initiatives could threaten the proposed White Stream pipeline from Georgia to Romania, on the seabed of the Black Sea. The White Stream concept could become redundant, if Azerbaijan chooses to export its gas through liquefaction or compression in surface ships, rather than a seabed pipeline.

Visiting Azerbaijan on April 11, EU Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger described the Nabucco project as the EU"s top priority, followed by the Turkey-Greece-Italy Interconnector, both in the Southern Corridor"s planning framework. The recently appointed commissioner ascribed the “key role” to Azerbaijan, alongside Turkmenistan, in supplying the planned Nabucco pipeline (www.day.az, Trend Capital, April 14, 15). Baku, however, may ultimately select one of its panoply of options, such as AGRI or even Russia, if financial backing for Nabucco is not soon forthcoming from Brussels.

Constanta port halves tariffs on cruise ships

The Romanian port authorities are considering halving the taxes charged the cruise ships that will visit the Black Sea Port of Constanta (southeastern Romania) this year, as they expect luxury tourism to grow by 10-15 percent, Financiarul daily reports.

According to managing director of Constanta Sea Ports Administration, Ioan Balan as many as 60 cruise ships are expected to lay anchor at Constanta Port's Passenger Dock carrying 18,000 foreign tourists on board.

While the authorities anticipate a rise of 5 to 10 percent in the number of tourists to arrive at the cruise terminal compared to last year, there is the possibility that the predictions be changed downwards, so that the Romanian port authorities are willing to give up part of the gain in order to keep Constanta on the route of the big cruise companies.

This year's cruise season opened on April 3 and several ships have already laid anchor on the Romanian coast. The Kristina Regina ship operated by Finnish company Kristina Cruises was the second vessel to visit Constanta this year; the port hosted The Discovery ship under a Bermuda flag on May 6. It had on board 629 passengers from Australia, Canada, Germany, Britain, New Zealand and the United States. The ship has been docking in the Port of Constanta at least twice a year since 2006.(continued) AGERPRES

Daewoo Ship Says Romania May Guarantee Loan to Shipyard Unit

June 3 (Bloomberg) -- Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., the world’s second-largest shipyard, said its unit in Romania may receive backing for a loan to fund operations from the government of the east European country.

The government may guarantee a loan of about 100 billion won ($83 million) from a Romanian bank for Daewoo-Mangalia Heavy Industries SA, said Ahn Wook Hyeon, a spokesman at the South Korean shipyard. He declined to identify the bank.

The venture, 51-percent owned by Daewoo, had more debt than capital at the end of last year, hampering its ability to increase capacity. Daewoo-Mangalia Heavy Industries SA has an order backlog for 14 vessels worth about $1.1 billion, representing more than two years of work.

The South Korean company, which is based in Seoul, backed loans worth 70 billion won to the Romanian unit two months ago, Ahn said. The Korea Economic Daily earlier reported that Daewoo will inject 170 billion won into the venture.

Daewoo was up 2.2 percent to 18,400 won at 10:17 a.m. in Seoul. The stock has risen more than 5 percent this year, compared with a 2 percent decline in South Korea’s Kospi index.

Daewoo Shipbuilding bought its stake in Daewoo-Mangalia, which is based in the Black Sea port of Constanta in eastern Romania, in 1997. The remaining share is held by the Romanian government-owned 2 Mai Mangalia Shipyard.

Works start on new road bridge over Danube-Black Sea Canal

State secretary with the Transport Ministry Marin Anton on Monday inaugurated construction works on a new road bridge over the Danube-Black Sea canal, in the couth-eastern county of Constanta, which will be located downstream the Agigea lock.

Spokesperson for the National Constanta Maritime Port Administration (CNAPMC) Monica Velicu says the bridge, an investment project worth nearly 23 million euros, was initiated in 2005 and its construction now is secured by structural funds under the European Union’s Transport Sectoral Operational Programme.

The project is included in Romania’s programme for the upgrading and development of national transport infrastructure outside the TEN-T priority axes for the development of a sustainable national transport system.

‘Works include the construction of the bridge, which will be located downstream the Agigea lock, access viaducts, access ways to the port and a junction with the ring-road of Constanta City, as well as railway level crossings, parking lots and the buildings at gates 7 and 10 of the port,’ said Velicu.

The new 900-m long bridge, with a 100-m span, over the canal is designed to ease up heavy traffic in the central parts of Constanta City. The investment, which is expected to complete in one year, is said to bring the added advantage of linking the southern parts of the Constanta Port to the Bucharest-Constanta motorway, as well as linking the two parts of the port and discarding heavy traffic in downtown Constanta.

Azerbaijan, Georgia and Romania signed agreement to establish joint venture under AGRI project
14.09.2010 12:57


Azerbaijan, Baku, Sept. 14 / Trend /

Azerbaijan, Georgia and Romania signed an agreement establishing a joint venture under the Azerbaijan-Georgia-Romania Interconnector (AGRI) gas transportation project, the Sate Oil Company of the Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) reported.

The agreement was signed among SOCAR, Georgian Oil and Gas Corporation and the Romanian Romqaz.

The joint venture will operate in Bucharest. The equity share is 33 percent for each participant. The joint venture will engage in regulatory work to prepare a feasibility study and search for the necessary investment.

Three capacity volumes are being considered for the project, Azerbaijani Industry and Energy Minister Natig Aliyev said: 2 billion cubic meters of gas a year, 5 billion cubic meters and 8 billion cubic meters

According to preliminary data, the cost varies from 1.2 billion to 4.5 billion euros depending on capacity.

A memorandum of understanding on cooperation in the field of liquefied gas and its transportation under the Azerbaijan-Georgia-Romania Interconnector project was signed in Bucharest on April 13.

Georgia, Azerbaijan and Romania signed an agreement on the establishment of a joint venture in a project to transport Azerbaijani gas to Europe on May 12.

The project to supply Azerbaijani liquefied natural gas to Romania envisages the construction of two terminals for liquefied natural gas - one in Georgia, the other in Romania. According to preliminary data, the project will cost 4.6 billion euros.

The project envisages transporting Azerbaijani gas via pipelines to the Black Sea coast of Georgia, where the gas will be liquefied at a special terminal, after which the gas will be delivered to the terminal in the Romanian port of Constanta by tankers. Later the liquefied gas will be converted into natural gas and, using gas infrastructure available throughout the country, will be sent to cover the needs of Romania and other European countries.
