Baku. Rashad Suleymanov - APA-Economics. Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Transport has selected the best bid offered by firms for project-designing work for a proposed seaport project in Alat, near Baku.
Sadraddin Mammadov, Officer of the Ministry of Transport, said Royal Haskon Group offered the best bid for the project.
“We will arrange to sign an agreement in a week,” he added.
According to him, the construction work will commence in the second half of this year after the full design is ready.
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.
