SÉPTIMO Y ÚLTIMO
ENCUENTRO EN WILHENSHAVEN (ALEMANIA) DEL 31 MAYO AL 5 JUNIO DE 2013.
CLAUSURA DEL PROYECTO
COMENIUS CIUDADES PORTUARIAS COMO LUGAR DE ENCUENTRO MUTUO.
El instituto Mediterráneo de
Cartagena hizo la última movilidad dentro del Proyecto Comenius
CIUDADES PORTUARIAS COMO LUGARES DE ENCUENTRO MUTUO. Han participado
las profesoras Josefa García, Leticia Jiménez y Joaquina Pérez y
los alumnos Claudia Rodríguez, Mónica Tzenova, Agustín Pagán,
Francisco Solano y Francisco Javier Lucas.
Tuvo lugar en Wilhemshaven (Alemania)
desde el 31 de mayo al 5 de junio de 2013.
Los otros países integrantes del
proyecto eran Turquía, Polonia y por supuesto el país coordinador y
anfitrión de este último encuentro, Alemania.
En esta ocasión se habló de lo que
han sido estos dos años y de la experiencia tan positiva que hemos
vivido alumnos y profesores.
Hemos visitado el puerto de
Wilhemshaven, montado en barco por el Waden Sea, en el mar del norte.
Tuvimos la suerte de avistar focas. Vimos los animales que deja la
marea baja en la playa tras retirarse el mar. Visitamos la hermosa
ciudad de Bremen- con su interesante casco histórico y la estatua de
los famosos músicos. También fuimos a visitar el impresionante
puerto de Hamburgo.
Por último nos despedimos de los que
han sido nuestros compañeros de proyecto y de vivencias durante
estos dos años esperando que las amistades creadas se mantengan en
el tiempo y que quizá nos encontremos en otro proyecto europeo en el
futuro.
We would like to
thank all our friends from the other participating countries;
students teachers and families who have so warmly welcomed us in
their cities. Thanks and all the best for all of you.
IES MEDITERRANEO. MEETING GDANSK

The
worldwide increase in container traffic, and particularly in the Mediterranean,
which accounts for more than 10% annually, justifies the construction of new
transhipment ports in the Suez Canal and the Strait of Gibraltar .
The Port of Cartagena
is located in the western Mediterranean, in the influence area of the Strait of Gibraltar , and therefore represents a
potential location of considerable strategic value for the construction of a
logistic platform for the transhipment of containers, which is of great
interest to the shipping companies that operate this type of traffic. Likewise,
the current land connections with the rest of the peninsula by road and
railway, as well as the future railway connections foreseen in the project of
the Mediterranean railway corridor, which will connect Cartagena with the North of Europe, promote
the export and import of products through the port. The attraction of
transhipment and import-export traffic through the Port of Cartagena
would involve an extraordinary opportunity of economic development for the
Region of Murcia, by becoming a main node of the international logistic
network.
The
creation of container traffic would involve an important change in the port
activity towards the clean traffic of general goods, in which the port
operations and logistics add great value to the transport chain.
These
actions have led the Port Authority of Cartagena, and its Board of Directors,
which is made up by various administrations and institutions including the
State Administration, the Regional Government of the Region of Murcia, the City
Hall of Cartagena, the Chambers of Commerce, the business representatives of
the Region of Murcia and the unions which represent most of the workers, to
design a new strategic planning focused on locating an external basin, designed
exclusively for the container and general goods traffic on the coast of Murcia.
The
comprehensive studies carried out for choosing the site have led to the
conclusion that the only and best location on the coast of the Region of Murcia
is El Gorguel Bay. The main arguments for this are the following:
·
The bathymetry, since it has
the necessary depth. It must never be over 50m., which would greatly increase
the cost of the infrastructure and would make the project unfeasible, neither
less than 25m. in order to have the greatest depth possible.
·
The easy access to the road
and railway transportation networks. Nowadays a port cannot be developed
without efficient connections to the national transport networks.
·
The possibility of building
areas for logistic activities of up to 200Ha, in the surrounding area of the Escombreras Valley and El Gorguel.
·
The low seafloor
environmental assessment…
·
… and zero interference of
the coastal sediment transport, and therefore, causing no impact on the beaches
of the area.
The
new infrastructure that would be provided to operators is the following:
·
A high capacity Container
Terminal: 2 million TEU in the first phase and 3.5 million TEU in the second
phase.
·
A Multipurpose Terminal for
clean traffic and 4 ro-ro berths.
·
A Logistic Activity Area
covering from 70 to 200Ha.
The
port would be located 1km. from the bay
of Portman , with the
entrance facing west, decreasing therefore the roughness of the sea inside the
basin. Its construction would have no influence on the regeneration of the bay.
In fact, it would favour the construction of the new planned marina.
The
characteristics of the new port would be:
·
A surface area of 190Ha.
·
The main quay 1,465m. long.
·
Quays with surface area
3,295m. long.
·
Quays without surface area
1,000m. long.
·
A breakwater 4,670m. long.
The
new basin would be connected by land through a road tunnel and a railway
tunnel, preserving the Fausilla
Mountains and linking the
new external port to the regional, national and international land routes. This
way the new terminal for ro-ro traffic would connect the land transport
networks with the motorways of the sea fostered by the European Union, reducing
the environmental impact produced by CO2 emissions generated by the
means of transport.
The
total investment foreseen exceeds 1,100 million Euros, which would be shared
between the public investment, for which the Port Authority is responsible, and
the private investment. The public investment in infrastructure for the
complete development of the basin would be carried out in two phases, with a
total cost of 650 million Euros. The private investment would finance the rest
of the infrastructure, as well as the equipment of the terminal. The investment
considers the construction of breakwaters, quays, land filling, pavements,
facilities and all of the equipment necessary for the exploitation of the
terminals such as the quay cranes, gantry cranes, platforms and trucks among
others.
This
project would create important business opportunities in many sectors,
including activities related with the cargo, handling, storage, transhipment,
consignment, quality control, mechanical inspection, machinery maintenance,
financial institutions, hotels, restaurants and others. The study that has been
carried out by the Technical University of Cartagena estimates an employment
impact of 500 direct jobs once the port begins operations, to a total of more
than 3,000 jobs once the basin
of El Gorguel is working
at full capacity. These permanent and qualified jobs would require the setting
up of a specialized Training Centre, which would provide professionals the
required knowledge for the development of the port activities such as: computer
science, electronics, electricity, handling of machinery, insurances,
logistics, cargo inspection or customs procedure.
For
this reason the project is considered a unique opportunity for the Region of
Murcia, the area of Cartagena ,
and particularly, for the towns situated near the new port.

EL IES MEDITERRÁNEO EN GDANSK
El IES Mediterráneo de Cartagena asiste en Gdansk (Polonia) al sexto
encuentro dentro del proyecto Comenius “Ciudades portuarias como lugar de
encuentro mutuo”
El IES Mediterráneo de Cartagena
ha participado en este encuentro en la ciudad de Gdansk en Polonia en este proyecto durante los días 8 al 12 de
marzo de 2013.
El centro anfitrión era el
Gdanskie Autonomiczne Gimnazjum, centro de gran tradición en la histórica
ciudad portuaria. También asistieron los equipos de Wilhelmshaven (Alemania) y
Adana (Turquía).
En esta ocasión, los profesores y
alumnos visitamos la exposición "Caminos de la libertad", exposición
sobre la lucha contra la dictadura comunista en Polonia a través del sindicato
Solidaridad encabezado por Lech Walesa. Los alumnos trabajaron conceptos como
la democracia, unión sindical, lucha laboral, y realizaron un debate.
Al día siguiente visitamos el
edificio histórico del Ayuntamiento de Gdansk, donde nos explicaron la gran
importancia económica de la ciudad desde la época medieval. Pudimos ver, por
medio de fotos, la terrible destrucción a la que fue sometido durante la Segunda Guerra
Mundial. En segundo lugar visitamos una casa típica comerciante de Gdansk. A
media mañana visitamos el Museo del Ámbar, un preciado producto de gran importancia
para el desarrollo económico de la ciudad.
El tercer día visitamos las
instalaciones de la escuela secundaria de Polonia y nos dieron una clase
inicial en la lengua polaca. A continuación nos dirigimos al Museo Nacional de
Gdansk donde se llevaron a cabo las ponencias de los diferentes puntos de
trabajo y expusimos nuestro material sobre el futuro desarrollo del puerto de
Cartagena.
Después de este enriquecedor
encuentro nos despedimos hasta el próximo y último encuentro en Alemania en
junio donde se clausurará este proyecto.

COMENIUS EXHIBITION AT THE IES MEDITERRANEO
As a part of the
Comenius project “Port cities as
places of mutual encounter” an
exhibition of photographs of the different participating countries
took place in our school from the 18th
to 24th
of April.
This exhibition has
taken place in the four countries that take part in the project.
It has been
elaborated by the Polish team and sent to the rest of the schools
that integrate the project. Thus, in every country, all students and
teachers have been able to learn about the ports and the cities that
we have met thanks to the Comenius project.
The exhibition was
visited by most of the students in our school. Besides there was a
meeting of all students participating in the two Comenius projects
in which our school is taking part at the moment.
They explained to
the rest of schoolmates the experience they had lived thanks to their
participation in the projects. It was an enriching talk. They showed
their satisfaction for the experience and pointed out the importance
of learning foreign languages nowadays.
