Zaha Hadid Architects received the highest jury rating in the design competition, taking first place. The Estonian company R-Konsult took second place in the competition, and the American architectural bureau Berenblum Busch Architects took third place.
From almost 60 applicants who accepted the tender documentation, ten applications for participation in the tender were received within the specified period, which the jury evaluated from various aspects, including from the point of view of the organization of traffic flow and passenger movement, the originality of the architectural idea and visual appeal.
According to the jury, the British firm was a leader across the board in developing a detailed and visually appealing proposal.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, regular passenger transportation on ships in Riga ceased, and following the pandemic, due to the impact of the war in Ukraine, regular passenger traffic to the port of Riga was never restored. The port hopes that the new passenger terminal will attract shipping companies.
If all goes according to plan, the new terminal will open its doors to passengers in 2028.
