黎巴嫩希望重建贝鲁特港,该港口于2020年8月4日被硝酸铵爆炸摧毁,法国已经出面提供帮助。
这一努力引起了全世界的关注,法国于2024年3月13日在贝鲁特的会议上提出了一项关于港口重建和重组的提案。
该计划讨论了修复港口基础设施,设计有效交通流量的布局,以及在港口运营中使用太阳能。然而,该计划并没有提到在爆炸发生时受影响最大的粮食筒仓的重建。
Artelia和Egis是法国的工程公司,他们在法国政府的资助下制定了该提案。公共机构“法国专家”对贝鲁特港的安全改进进行了研究。
黎巴嫩交通和公共工程部长阿里•哈米(Ali Hamie)表示,该计划已被接受,港口收入将为所需的投资提供资金。
恢复在爆炸中被摧毁的国家基础设施将耗资6000万至8000万美元。然而,根据美国国际开发署中东经济增长项目2021年的评估,如果考虑到***公司的基础设施,成本将增加到1.4亿美元。
贝鲁特港总干事Omar Itani强调了灾难发生以来的许多积极变化,包括收入从2020年的900万美元增加到2023年的1.5亿美元。该港口2023年的吞吐量为80万TEU,而2022年为60万TEU。
法国在困难时期与黎巴嫩站在一起。马克龙总统在爆炸发生两天后访问了该国,并承诺为人民提供财政援助。
本周,法国驻黎巴嫩大使Herve Magro表示,黎巴嫩需要一个现代化、安全的港口设施。法国政府已将港口问题列为优先事项,并将其作为与黎巴嫩合作的关键支柱。
2022年,CMA Terminals获得了运营贝鲁特港集装箱码头的10年特许权,决定在码头投资3300万美元,用于更换、更新和购买新设备。
2021年,德国还提议重建贝鲁特港,并重新开发超过100公顷的周边土地和住宅区。

英文原文
Lebanon wants to rebuild the Beirut Port, destroyed by an ammonium nitrate explosion on August 4, 2020, and France has come forward to help.
This endeavour has garnered worldwide attention, with France presenting a proposal on March 13, 2024, regarding the port’s reconstruction and reorganisation at the conference in Beirut.
The plan discusses repairing the port infrastructure, designing its layout for efficient traffic flow, and using solar power for port operations. However, the plan doesn’t mention rebuilding the grain silos that were the most impacted when the blast happened.
Artelia and Egis are French Engineering firms that developed the proposal with funding from the French government. Expertise France, a public agency, conducted research on security improvements at the Port of Beirut.
Ali Hamie, Lebanon’s transport and public works minister, said the plan was accepted, and the port revenue would finance the needed investments.
Restoring the state infrastructure devastated in the blast would cost $60 to $80 million. Still, the cost increases to $140 million when private companies’ infrastructure is also considered, per a 2021 assessment by USAID’s Middle East Economic Growth Project.
Beirut Port’s Director General, Omar Itani, highlighted many positive changes since the disaster, including an increase in revenue to $150 million in 2023 from just $9 million in 2020. The port handled 800,000 TEU in 2023 compared to 600,000 TEU in 2022.
France stood with Lebanon during the difficult time. President Macron visited the nation just two days after the blast and promised financial aid for the people.
This week, French Ambassador to Lebanon Herve Magro said Lebanon needs a modern, safe port facility. The French government has made the port issue its priority and a key pillar in its cooperation with Lebanon.
In 2022, CMA Terminals, which won a 10-year concession to operate the Beirut Port’s container terminal, decided to invest $33 million in the terminal to replace, renew, and buy new equipment.
In 2021, Germany also proposed rebuilding the Beirut Port and redeveloping over 100 hectares of surrounding land and residential areas.
