OVERVIEW

The Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines (GOSVG) has received financing from the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) and the United Kingdom Caribbean Infrastructure Partnership Fund (UKCIF) towards the cost of the construction of the Kingstown Port Modernisation Works and intends to apply a portion of the proceeds to eligible payments under a contract for the construction of the Port Modernisation Works. Payment by CDB will be made only at the request of GOSVG and upon approval by CDB, and will be subject, in all respects, to the terms and conditions of the Loan and Grant Agreement. The Loan and Grant Agreements prohibit a withdrawal from the Accounts for the purpose of any payment to persons or entities, or for any import of goods, if such payment or import, to the knowledge of CDB, is prohibited by a decision of the United Nations Security Council taken under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations. No party other than GOSVG shall derive any rights from the Loan or Grant Agreement or have any claim to the proceeds of the Loan or Grant.

The Ministry of National Security, Air and Sea Port Development (MNS) is the Implementing Agency for the Project. MNS has retained Sellhorn Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH - HPC Hamburg Port Consulting GmbH (the Consultant) to assist with the coordination and execution of various activities associated with the Project, including the procurement process for the Port Development Works. MNS intends to pre-qualify Design-Build Contracting Services for the Works. It is expected that Invitations to Bid will be issued in March 2020, with a contract to be awarded by July 2020 and project execution to be completed December 2022.

The proposed site for the Port Modernisation Works is located in the Kingstown precinct, west of the existing cargo port, and against existing reclaimed foreshore lands occupied by a concentration of established warehousing and commercial properties. Seaward reclamation is required to provide approximately 5 ha of new port area. The Works are to include all marine and civil works, utilities, buildings and warehouse requirements to ensure an operational facility.

The Works will include:

1. Offshore sewer line and outfall diffuser

2. Main cargo terminal: approx. 5 ha to be reclaimed, 380 m of quay wall, an administrative building, warehouses and a maintenance facility

3. Supporting road works and parking behind the terminal and road upgrades to facilitate traffic flow in Kingstown
