Grant Description

After the completion of a feasibility study in April 2016, the Chinese Government and the Government of Guinea-Bissau signed a grant agreement for Phase 2 of the Alto do Bandim Fishing Port Project on July 25, 2017. China’s Ministry of Commerce was the source of funding and it committed RMB 159 million in total.

Phase 1 of the Alto do Bandim Fishing Port Project was financed by the African Development Bank with US$4 million and it included the construction of a pier, a fish auction and an administrative building.

Phase 2 involved the construction of a 50-meter-long floating dock, new breakwaters, administrative and fishery trade buildings, connecting roads, and drainage and sewage pipe networks within a 300-meter area. China Railway Guangzhou Engineering Group Corporation (CRGEG) was the contractor responsible for implementation.

On October 31, 2018, a foundation stone laying ceremony took place.

Then, on March 22, 2019, Guinea-Bissau’s Minister of Fisheries, Adiatu Djaló Nandigna, announced that Phase 2 would be completed in the next two years. However, project implementation was temporarily halted in the spring of 2020 due to the COVID-19 epidemic for 9 months. Work resumed on July 15, 2020.

Then, on August 10, 2020, 25,000 cubic meters of silt were successfully dredged from the port. The project has passed mid-course inspection in 12/24/2021. On May 19, 2023, a handover ceremony was held.
