Over the past decade the Port Authourity has expanded the existing port, built new terminals, upgraded IT systems, and widened operational partnerships and networks. This is reflected by the port’s ability to handle increasing volumes of traffic from 7.3 million tonnes in 2003 to 17.4 million tonnes in 2016. Development projects completed in the past years include a new Reefer Terminal, a four (4) berth bulk jetty, a one stop service revenue and data centre, the refurbishment of the Transit Terminal and the electronic gating system amongst many others. The national drive to make the Port Community activities paperless is positive for the development of the maritime economy.
The Port is an autonomous public port. However there is immense collaboration with the private sector. Shipping, Transport, Haulage, Port Terminal Operators, Freight Forwarders and many others work in tandem with the Port Authority to provide stellar service.
