The lights are on at the new port being constructed at Kingstown, St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG). The completion of the Kingstown Port Modernisation Project will see a new and larger deepwater port for St. Vincent, replacing the battered port which was built in the 1960s. The USD $250 million Kingstown Port Modernisation Project, the country’s second-largest capital project is funded by the Caribbean Development Bank, the United Kingdom Caribbean Infrastructure Partnership Fund (UKCIF), and the Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Canadian firm Aecon Group Inc was awarded the contract for works on the Kingstown Port Modernisation Project while engineering firm Sellhorn Investment – independent consultants from Germany who the Government of SVG hired with approval from the Caribbean Development Bank to monitor the port construction is working along with Aecon to construct the new port.
