As is known, the process of functional upgrading of cross-border traffic centres is made necessary by the entry of the Republic of Slovenia in the European Union and the new customs provisions. This project falls within said context and is aimed at the creation of the Fernetti-Sežana freight yard with two connected import-export sections in order to significantly reduce the operation time. From a technical point of view, the project consists of two parts: the first regarding main works, the second complementary works. As far as the main works for the construction of the freight yard are concerned, an interconnecting shed will be built between warehouses, internal and external roads will be re-organized through the re-asphalting of the tracks and the yards and public green space will be renovated. The traffic centre will also be equipped with specific IT technology (software, hardware and optic fibre) for the creation of the single freight yard. The initiative also requires the drawing up of a survey on the implementation of a comprehensive development plan for the Terminal - starting with the examination of legislative and bibliographical documentation available regarding inter-port facilities and the transport system in general - and the reconversion of the enterprises operating inside the centre.
