Tunisia<\/strong> to give Enfidha Port project a short in the arm: <\/strong>Tunisia\u2019s Transport Ministry (MoT) is working to expedite the execution of the long-stalled Enfidha deep-water port<\/a> project, with moves to classify the port as a \u201chigh-priority project, Italian news outlet Agenzia Nova<\/a> reports. The Tunisian MoT submitted a formal request to the country's High Commission for Major Projects in April to label it a \u201chigh-priority project\u201d, the outlet added.<\/p>\n

A high-priority project? <\/strong>The Tunisian government issued a law back in October 2024<\/a> pertaining to major public projects that had been suspended or stalled due to a lack of funding or implementation difficulties. The law aimed to accelerate the pace of major infrastructural projects of strategic importance to the Tunisian economy. <\/p>\n

What does it mean? <\/strong>If MoT\u2019s proposal to the Major Projects Commission gets the green light, a technical committee will be formed to hammer out a timeline, an investment ticket, as well as lead negotiations over contract terms and details. The Commission selects which projects move forward based on certain conditions, including whether the projects are part of a bilateral contract; involve an international firm or a foreign country; rely on a specific operator or involve a certain patent for implementation; and whether they contribute to Tunisia\u2019s public safety and defense. <\/p>\n

About Enfidha Port: <\/strong>The Enfidha deep-water port \u2014 which spans a total area of 1k hectares<\/a> \u2014 boasts a 3.6k-meter quay for container handling, a 1.4k-meter quay for bulk activity handling, and a 17-meter-deep water draft. The project's three phases<\/a> should take five years once construction starts.<\/p>\n

Once completed<\/strong>, the port is expected to handle about 5 mn TEUs, 4 mn tons of bulk, as well as ships carrying up to 80k tons. It is also set to have an economic logistics zone and multimodal transport systems linked to it. <\/p>\n

REFRESHER- <\/strong>Tunisia has been looking for a partner<\/a> on the Enfidha deep-water port project, and has already received three offers to finance the project since August 2024. Tunisian authorities did not accept the offers, however, due to financial shortcomings. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
