One step closer to Serbia-Hungary pipeline: Transnafta awards contract for construction work

The contract for the construction of the oil pipeline between Serbia and Hungary, after the halt and then extension of the tender procedure initiated by Transnafta from Novi Sad, has been awarded to a consortium gathered around the company MVM Juzna Backa, and the job will be worth around 17.4 billion dinars including VAT.

In addition to Juzna Backa, the consortium of companies that won the job also includes Konvar, Delta inzenjering, Zavod za zavarivanje, Celik from Backi Jarak and Delta preving. Juzna Backa will have the largest share in the job, or 43%.

This public procurement was announced on the eve of the new year, and at that time the documentation indicated that the construction of the main oil pipeline between Hungary and Serbia was in the national interest in order to ensure the diversification of import routes and a more secure supply of the domestic market, given that the only route from where Serbia imports oil is currently via Croatia and the Janaf oil pipeline.

The new pipeline will, as it was pointed out, enable Serbia to receive oil from Hungary, through whose territory the Druzhba pipeline passes, which supplies most of Europe with crude oil. The project is being implemented for the transport of REB (“Russian Export Blend”) oil.

The starting point of transport on the Hungary-Novi Sad main oil pipeline is near the Horgos border crossing, northeast of the Horgos settlement, and the end point of the pipeline is the Transnafta Terminal in Novi Sad.

The pipeline will be approximately 113 km long on the territory of Serbia, entirely underground, with an annual capacity of 5.5 million tons of oil per year. The route of the linear part of the main oil pipeline with accompanying facilities runs through the territories of the municipalities of Kanjiza, Senta, Ada, Becej and Zabalj and the city of Novi Sad. The basic direction of the route is from north to south.
