The Port of Klaipėda is set to welcome a new cruise ship terminal in its central area. The project involves the reconstruction of existing quays and the construction of new ones, along with necessary adjustments to meet updated depth requirements. "The new cruise ship terminal project will not only increase the capacity of the Port of Klaipėda to accommodate more cruise ships and tourists but will also create a new space for the city. This project is a long-term investment in Klaipėda’s future and its international attractiveness," commented Algis Latakas, Director General of Klaipėda Port Authority. An administrative building will also be part of the terminal complex, with a building permit already secured. This new cruise terminal area is expected to become a significant attraction, offering an appealing venue for events, an open amphitheater facing the water, and dedicated pathways for pedestrians and cyclists. The ground floor of the Port Authority’s administrative building will feature cafes and a conference room, complemented by a rooftop observation deck. To address current space limitations, plans are also underway to construct a new marina for recreational boats nearby. The design for the cruise ship terminal was finalized at the end of last year by UAB "Statybos inžinierių konsultantų biuras" (Office of Consulting Structural Engineers), based on a winning architectural proposal.
