Innovative Canals Planned for the Near
Term
1. Introduction
The project includes construction of
two canals connecting the Black Sea with
Danube river within Ukrainian territory
(the volume of investments is US$89
million, planned annual profit from canals
operation after setting projected nominal
power will make US$22 million; starting
canals operation may be done in 6
months from the beginning of funding).
Designed canals have strategic value
for the renewal of and integrating Ukraine
into EU from economical, social, and
political points of view. Therefore
company, which invests and promotes
this project, will get solid dividends, and
ill also increase its prestige as the
company that has opened the "door to Europe" for Ukraine, Russia, Moldova and
other countries of Black Sea basin.
2. Project Description
Canals Characteristics.
Operation advantages and its advantages.
Both canals will have considerable
advantage in length in comparison with
existing Romanian canals, that fact may
be noticed when looking at the map. That
results in reducing by 7 times the time of
passage of ships into Danube riverbed from Black Sea and vice versa. Total
carrying capacity of both canals will make
15300 ships per year.
Operation of canals must ensure
normal navigation without disturbing
hydrological and ecological situation
within adjoining area. Therefore optimal canals' traces are chosen along with
providing modern design solutions, in
particular, canal design includes
protecting and stream-directing spurs as
well as water-gates, which greatly reduce
shallowing of canals and near water-area
of the Black Sea.
The first stage of the project
provides reconstruction of connective
navigable canal by trace "Zhebriyanskaya
bay of the Black Sea – water-area of the
Ust-Dunaysk port –Danubian arm
Prorva". This gives the opportunity to
pen navigation for ships of mixed
"river-sea" type within Ukrainian part of Danube delta in 6 months. Length of the
canal makes 1.5 km. Canal's depth
makes 5.5 m, width at the bottom – not
less than 40 m. The canal allows for
passing ships of "river-sea" type with draft
of 4.8 m, width of 20 m, and length up to
120 m. Carrying capacity of the
connective canal will make 2800 ships
per year.
In the future this canal is intended to
operate mainly for passing of small ships
and to serve as reserve for the case of
unforeseen circumstances.
The volume of investments in
reconstruction of the connective canal
makes US$ 4 million, annual profit – US$
2.2 million.
The second stage of the project
implies building of full-scale navigable
canal by trace «Zhebriyanskaya bay of
he Black Sea – Solomonov arm of
Danube river» beyond the active part of
river delta.
The canal is 9.1 km long, 8.5 m
deep, and 60 m wide at the bottom,
narrowing near the gates to the width of 40
m.
Designed canal allows for passing
sea ships with draft of 7.3 m; canal's
parameters fully correspond to the
requirements of European Danube
Commission and permit normal navigation
with minimal 12500 ships-per-year
carrying capacity. Ships will be allowed
to pass 24 hours a day unlike in Sulina
canal (Romania).
Design of the canal implies
convoy method for passing groups of 10
r more units. Ships will follow through the
canal under mandatory pilotage.
The design also ensures durability
of buildings and connecting
communications, as well as little volume of
dredging during operation. The project
may be finished in 5 years. The volume of
investments in the construction of
full-scale canal will make US$85 million
(see brief Feasibility Report).
The project of full-scale canal
has the following ecological
advantages
Trace of the canal does not touch the
core of Danube Biosphere reserve.
During operation fresh water will be
drained into
Stentsovsko-Zhebriyanovskiye plavni's
for their natural life support. This will also
cease upsetting the conditions of water
flora and fauna habitation, reduce flooding
inhabited localities lying within adjacent
zone. Trace of the canal will bar
individuals from violating UNESCO's
biosphere reserve territory access from
Ukrainian side.
Negative influence of designed
canals' operation on the environment is
practically narrowed down to zero. This
fact is confirmed by conclusions of
National Academy of Science of Ukraine
and international ecological organizations
(see details).
3. Novelty
Canals' tracing, structural
composition, and a number of
constructive solutions on the project
corresponding to the requirements of
Danube Commission and taking into
account specific natural conditions in
region of the construction, may be subject
for protecting intellectual property.
A part of solutions is protected by
Ukrainian patent (certificate of authority
PA #269).
4. Marketing
The project improves freight
transportation from EU countries into
sian region and backwards, involving
Molodva in ship turnover. Appearing on
the market is planned by resuming
navigation via Prorva canal. Forecast flow
of transit transport ships will make 9000
units per year at average canal-charge
US$2500 per vessel (for Sulina canal the
rate makes US$2600).
Carrying capacity of the system of
designed canals may be increased up to
18000 ships per year. The project
resolves the problem of sea navigation
nd renovation of ports Ust-Dunaysk,
Chilia, Ismail, Reni. Ship turnover of
Ust-Dunaysk port is planned to be about
600 ships per year.
On the construction of proposed
canals local labor forces will be engaged,
there will be given an impetus to local
industry and agriculture development (the
port is the jobs for 8-10 thousand people,
servicing the canal and port-fleet ships is
also hundreds of workplaces). Many
local challenges of Vilkovo city will be
solved, which are too complex to be
solved by the city itself: clearing Belgorod
arm, displacing city dump, allocating
place for cemetery.
5. Applications
· Full-scale canal solves the
problem of floods in Vilkovo city. During
the period of ice blocking within the delta
water level rises and the city is
periodically flooded. Critical masses of
water may be drained through the canal.
· The port may be connected the railway.
· Canal's tracing allows for full
control from Ukrainian side of access into
UNESCO's Danube Delta Biosphere
Reserve territory.
· The grounds, excavated during
the construction, will be used in the limits
of canal's trace or removed as
construction material.
· There is a perspective project of
eveloping port Ust-Dunaysk's
infrastructure, connected with canal's
construction project. The construction of
mouth port in continental part of the coast
is possible with further displacement of
the Ust-Dunaysk port to new location. As
the result, the question of river navigation
will be completely solved, making
possible accepting ocean ships with draft
up to 14.5 m, displacement of freight onto
river ships and its further transportation
through all waterways of Europe.
Calculations will be given additionally
to a partner and an investor.
