The assessment tour took place on Tuesday, August 20, 2024. It is aimed to enhance the possibilities for investing in the Port of Greenville by China Railway.
At the end of the assessment, Mr. Scott Liu, Deputy General Manager of CRBG Company expressed excitement for the Port of Greenville and promised that his entity will work with the management of the National Port Authority of Liberia in forming a possible roadmap for investment.
Also, on behalf of the National Port Authority of Liberia, Cllr. Sylvia Tarley, Director of the Samuel A. Ross Port of Greenville who led the Chinese Investment team throughout the assessment tour expressed gratitude to the President Joseph Nyuma Boakai and the Management of the National Port Authority for selecting the Port of Greenville to be assessed for possible investment.
The Port Director conveyed that the assessment is in line with her administration’s plan to expand the port and upgrade it to an international standard with the expectation of making it Liberia’s biggest sea port.
“Over the next six years, our vision for the port of Greenville is to expand it, ensure that it becomes a transshipment center where bigger ships will berth and supplies be distributed to smaller ports in Liberia,” Cllr. Tarley said.
She added: “We also envision that portion of the port will be an industrial park where companies or manufacturers will acquire land to produce resources that will contribute to the economy of Liberia.”
Cllr. Tarley further praised the Management of the National Port Authority for the high level of support given her leadership to renovate the port.
She stated that her leadership’s major focus now is to ensure all of the infrastructures are reconditioned for the Port to regain its Pre-war state as it continues to lobby for partners and investors to meet the vision for the port.
