Nassau Port Operator Mulls $65m Haiti Bid
The Nassau Container Port’s (NCP) operator is evaluating whether to bid on a $65 million port redevelopment project in Haiti, as it targets “material financial benefits” from expanding into the Caribbean. Michael Maura, Arawak Port Development Company’s (APD) chief executive, told Tribune Business yesterday that the BISX-listed port operator would seek to joint venture with “a large global partner” if it proceeded with a Cap Haitien bid. “The US State Department’s USAID (US Agency for International Development) has committed to a $65 million redevelopment of Cap Haitien Port,” he explained in an e-mailed reply to Tribune Business’s questions. “Haiti’s National Port Authority (APN), with the assistance of the World Bank’s investment division, IFC, have undertaken a Terminal Operation RFQ/RFP for Cap Haitien port. “APD is undertaking a business analysis of the Cap Haitien terminal operation to determine if the project makes sense to us. If APD determines the project has potential, we would partner with a large global port operator in an effort to minimise risk.” http://www.hellenicshippingnews.com/nassau-port-operator-mulls-65m-haiti-bid/
