PORTS III

closed

The Third Port Project is designed to enable the port of Rangoon to handle, until about 1990, the projected growth in international breakbulk and containerized traffic by improving port efficiency and basic port services. The project will obviate the need to construct additional berths and will include: (a) provision of additional general and containerized cargo handling equipment and telecommunications equipment to increase throughput of existing twelve general cargo berths; (b) construction of a container yard and freight station; (c) improvements to port area lighting, electrical installations and pontoon berth repairs; (d) acquisition of two new marine vessels; (e) renewal and rehabilitation of BPC's existing service vessels, harbor craft, and navigation aids; (f) dredger overhaul; and (g) consultants' services and training of staff.
