Lenski Douglas, Engineer on the Port Modernization Project says construction on the second largest capital project should be completed by October 24th, 2025.
Speaking to the API on Tuesday, Douglas says the contractor, Aecon, is expected to hand over the project to the Government and people of St. Vincent and the Grenadines- by the first week in September.
The 650-million-dollar facility is expected to transform not only the aesthetics of the capital city, but position this country as a hub in the Southern Caribbean.
The port will be equipped with berthing facilities, advanced security and facility monitoring systems, as well as modernized port operations.
The improved physical infrastructure is set to redefine the country’s capacity for trade, tourism, and regional connectivity.
