Artificial Island now connected by road to coast

The artificial island at the Plantation Best foreshore, West Bank Demerara (WBD) is now connected to the coast by road and the first phase of the project is on track for a December 2023 startup.

The mega undertaking dubbed the ‘Port of Vreed-en-Hoop’ is the master plan of three local businessmen who moved to establish a multi-billion-dollar shore base port facility.

Investors Azruddin Mohamed of Hadi’s World Incorporated; well-known businessman and miner, Andron Alphonso; and National Hardware Guyana Limited’s Nicholas Deygoo-Boyer have established the consortium – NRG Holdings Inc. – and are partnering with Belgian Jan De Nul to execute the project.

Earlier this week, students from the University of Guyana (UG) were able to tour the facility.

See below the full release from the Vreed-en-Hoop Shorebase Inc. (VEHSI):

Students of the University of Guyana’s Faculty of Technology this week got hands-on exposure to the construction techniques being used to construct the artificial island and shore base at Vreed-en-Hoop. This is a first of its kind in Guyana and provides an excellent learning opportunity for the students.
