If the feasibility study into the building of a deep-water container port here determines that it is viable, the project would have to be undertaken by the private sector although government would support it, President Irfaan Ali says.
“There are a lot of pieces of work already been done but whoever will be doing this we are not looking, the government is not looking, to participate in this, but maybe support. But this has to be private investment and preferably in a Finance, Build, Own, Operate [BOO) model,” President Irfaan Ali told the Stabroek News in an exclusive interview.
