BATHURST PORT REHAB

closed

The proposed project consists in rehabilitating the existing wharf, thus extending its useful life to at least 25 years, constructing a deep water berth and supporting facilities in order to ensure sufficient port capacity throughout the 1970's. In addition the project provides for the procurement of a small dredger and other port equipment. On shore improvements will also be introduced under the project, new handling equipment will be procured, transit sheds constructed, and other facilities provided for. A port operations adviser will be employed and a personnel training program will be organized; as a result working methods will improve leading towards increased productivity of port labor.
