BAM Nuttall selected to build Stanley Harbour port in Falklands

The contractor company BAM Nuttall has recently been selected by the Falkland Islands Government (FIG) to construct a new port at Stanley Harbour on the Eastern coast of the East Falkland Island.

Going into more detail, a contract to construct the new Stanley Harbour port on the East Falkland Island is yet to actually be signed but is expected to be so in March 2020 and will involve the construction of a new port and a new facility that will benefit key users in the fishing, tourism, and shipping sectors.

The construction project is expected to progress in three stages, with the first stage entailing stakeholder engagement, surveys, a demand study, and concept design, with public meetings expected to take place upon BAM Nuttall’s arrival in the Falklands after the contract is signed.

The Chief Executive of the Falkland Islands Government, Barry Rowland stated: “As is well known, the existing FIPASS facility is fast approaching the end of its life. Today’s exciting news is the first step in designing a new facility that can handle both our current needs, and our projected future demands.”

The Development and Commercial Services Portfolio Holder, MLA Dr Barry Elsby, commented: “I am delighted that this Assembly has taken the decision to build the new port, and so deliver on the commitment in the Islands Plan.”

The Managing Director of BAM Nuttall Ltd, Martin Bellamy added: “We are excited to be part of such a critical national infrastructure project for the Falkland Islands and we look forward to working together with the Falkland Islands Government and our team in designing and constructing the port that will serve as a new gateway to the Falkland Islands.

“It is our collective ambition that this project suits the needs of everyday life on the islands and can provide longer-term economic benefits.”
