According to PNG Ports, another significant feature of the project is that the improved port will have climate change and seismic resilience incorporated into the design, enabling it to be disaster proof.
Funding for the rehabilitation of the Kimbe Port comes from the blended financial package of K1.5 billion by the Australian Infrastructure Financing Facility for the Pacific (AIFFP) which is part of a bilateral sovereign loan between the Australian Government, PNG Government and PNG Ports.
Bidders will be selected in line with AIFFP and PNG Ports requirements with construction expected to commence mid this year.
