Count down on for new delivery date of Port Modernisation Project

OCTOBER, this country’s month of independence is the new period that is being targetted for completion of the Port Modernisation Project, located at Rose Place, in Kingstown.

Project Engineer, Lenski Douglas told the Agency for Public Information that the country’s second largest capital project should be completed by October, 24, 2025, “all things being equal”.

He said the contractor, Aecon…”has indicated this project will be completed by October 24, …and all hands are on deck pushing towards that completion date”.

The project was originally targetted for completion during the first half of 2025, but encountered setbacks due to the loss of reclaimed materials.

The $650 million facility is aimed to transform not only the aesthetics of the capital city, but position this country as a hub in the Southern Caribbean.

It will be equipped with berthing facilities, advanced security and facility monitoring systems, and modernized port operations. The improved physical infrastructure is set to redefine the country’s capacity for trade, tourism, and regional connectivity. (API)
