Baku. Rashad Suleymanov - APA-Economics. Netherlands-based Royal Haskon Group, which won a tender form Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Transport to develop a project engineering work for a proposed seaport project in Alat, near Baku, will work out a master plan by autumn.

Sadraddin Mammadov, Officer of the Ministry of Transport, said Royal Haskon Group specialists were in Baku last week to gather information for the master plan.

According to him, the plan will be ready by October.

The first draft project of the seaport was designed by South Korean GS Engineering & Construction Co.

Azerbaijan booted the South Korean company out of the seaport construction project because it overstated the cost of the project.

The seaport project will have three overlapping phases- 2008-2011, 2011-2013 and 2012-2015.
There will be 11 berths, 6 of which will be constructed at the first phase.
The port will handle 11.6 million tons of cargo in 2015.
