A Chinese state-owned firm is to carry out a preliminary study on the possibility of locating a deep water harbour at the mouth of the Berbice River, Prime Minister Samuel Hinds has announced.
In a statement, Hinds said that the study will be carried out at the company’s expense and without any obligations on the part of the government. “The government has advised that if a deep water port on a BOOT (Build, Own, Operate and Transfer) basis was to appear to be feasible, government at that stage would proceed by way of an open invitation for proposals,” Hinds said.
