Expansion Continues to Take Shape.
Nectar Group is pleased to share that construction work is taking shape at the expansion programme at Nectar Sierra Leone Bulk Terminal (NSBT) in partnership with Eiffage Génie Civil and Beckett Rankine. The new 3rd berth at QEII terminal is a critical piece of infrastructure which will facilitate a larger-class of vessel size to call at the Freetown terminal, accommodating vessels of 225 meters and 13 meters draft.
The project is currently well underway and as of February of this year, the installation of tie rods has been completed. Demobilization of the marine spread commenced at the beginning of February, including contract confirmation for the dredger and reclaimer vessel. Ongoing works for the east revetment, floodwall, existing drainage, and mooring blocks continues.
A NSBT é uma subsidiária do Nectar Group Limited, um operador privado especializado em manuseamento de granéis e terminais. A história do Grupo Nectar na Serra Leoa remonta à década de 1980 e tem vindo a operar o terminal de granéis e carga fraccionada no Porto de Freetown desde 2015, na sequência de um concurso internacional bem-sucedido. Nos últimos seis anos, foram realizados investimentos substanciais, melhorando as instalações e a produtividade do terminal para apoiar o desejo das autoridades do Porto da Serra Leoa de continuar a desenvolver o porto.
The advanced construction programme is due for completion later this year.
