Greenville City, Sinoe County—As part of efforts to deliver quality customer service, enhance international trade, encourage tourism, and diversify the port in line with the ARREST agenda, the China Railway Construction Bridge Engineering Bureau Group (CRBG) has concluded a one-day site assessment of the Samuel Alfred Ross Port of Greenville.
The assessment, conducted on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, focused on evaluating the potential for investing in the Port of Greenville by CRBG.
Following the assessment, Mr. Scott Liu, Deputy General Manager of CRBG, expressed enthusiasm for the Port of Greenville and assured that his entity would collaborate with the management of the National Port Authority of Liberia to develop a roadmap for potential investment.
Cllr. Sylvia Tarley, Director of the Samuel A. Ross Port of Greenville, who led the Chinese investment team on the assessment tour, expressed gratitude to the President of Liberia, H.E. Joseph Nyumah Boakai, and the Management of the National Port Authority for prioritizing the Port of Greenville for potential investment.
The port director emphasized that the assessment aligns with her administration’s plan to expand and upgrade the port to international standards, with the goal of making it Liberia’s largest seaport. “Over the next six years, our vision for the Port of Greenville is to expand it and ensure it becomes a transshipment center where larger vessels can dock and supplies can be distributed to smaller ports in Liberia,” Cllr. Tarley said.
She further elaborated: “We also envision that a portion of the port will be transformed into an industrial park where companies and manufacturers can acquire land to produce goods that will contribute to Liberia’s economy.”
Cllr. Tarley commended the Management of the National Port Authority for the strong support provided to her leadership in renovating the port. She noted that her primary focus now is to recondition the port’s infrastructure, enabling it to regain its pre-war status while actively seeking partners and investors to achieve the port’s long-term vision.
