Boskalis-affiliated company pulls out of contest for new bridge over Demerara

The local affiliate of the Dutch offshore contractor and maritime services provider – Boskalis Guyana Inc – has pulled out of the race to build the new Demerara Harbour Bridge but has not given government a reason, Minister of Public Works Juan Edghill says.

As such, only four Chinese companies are now contesting to win the contract and they last week submitted financial proposals.

“They have not indicated to us why…,” Edghill told Stabroek News yesterday when contacted.
