Current Tenders & Competitions

A new passenger terminal would put Riga on the map of European cruise ports, provide modern and environmentally friendly ferry passenger services in Riga, and create new opportunities for developing the ro-ro cargo segment. The new terminal will be located in the southern part of Exportosta, reducing traffic in the city center of Riga and reducing sound and air pollution.

The competition site is located on the right riverbank of the Daugava, in the southern part of Eksportosta territory, and partly in the protection zone Riga's historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The competition proposals would retrofit and extend an existing concrete warehouse building adjacent to the water.

The participants of the Competition are invited to develop a proposal for the new Riga ROPAX terminal, offering new commercial spaces, creative spaces, retail options, modern infrastructure for handling of passengers and “RO-RO” cargos, and the territory adjoining it, which includes a publicly accessible waterfront, a high-quality public open space as well as additional infrastructure for servicing cruise ships with the prospect of creating a home port of a cruise line with restaurants and cafes that would also be available to local residents, intending to diminish sound and air pollution in the city centre and ensure safe movement.

First prize €18,000; 2nd Prize €10,000; 3rd Prize €7,000. Each invited participant in the competition will also receive €10,000.
