Tibar Bay Port PPP

project in construction

The project involves the design, construction, finance and operation of the new port.Tibar Bay Port will be a state-of-the-art port with a 630m-long berth (compared to 289m at Dili Port) and the equipment to ensure quick and efficient movement of containers and cargo (including ship-to-shore gantry cranes). The new Port will be able to accommodate much larger ships than Dili Port (maximum vessel size will be 3,500 TEU initially and 7,000 TEU by the end of the concession period), which will allow for savings in freight costs which will ultimately mean lower consumer prices. The capacity, and the design specifications, are such as to ensure that the Port will be able to serve the country for many decades to come, well beyond the 30 years of the concession period.
