Haiti - Reconstruction : Agreement between the Government and the APN for the reconstruction of the Port
04/02/2012 09:35:58

The National Port Authority (APN) and the Haitian Government, reached an agreement on the reconstruction of port facilities of the bay of Port-au-Prince. Jean Evens Charles, the Director General of the APN stated that "...as soon we will have the agreement in our hands, we will work on the finalization of procedures of call for tenders.

Everything was ready for this project, however, in the tender we had developed in the past, it was anticipated funding from the IDB... Two years later, we continue to work withmakeshift facilities, emergency facilities are extremely expensive for us, we can not wait [...]

Fortunately, the APN has the capacity to provide resources to rebuild the port. The file is currently at the National Commission on Public Procurement (CNMP) and I expect the notice of compliance of the Commission to launch the tender.

We hope that during this month, the appeal will be launched [...] if there is no major unforeseen, we will be able to start the reconstruction works on the North Wharf towards August-September 2012."
