To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what progress has been made on the project to develop the port and town of Little Bay in Montserrat.
David Rutley
Assistant Whip (HM Treasury), Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
Through the UK's Caribbean Infrastructure Fund (UKCIF), HMG has supported the Montserrat Port Development Project with a grant of £28.3 million that will allow the construction of a new 130 metre long pier in Little Bay. The pier is being designed to ensure calm mooring conditions in most weather conditions for the majority of vessels that call at Little Bay, including ferries, cargo and container ships, cruise ships and pleasure craft. Work is underway, relocation of coral has been completed and dredging is ongoing. Completion is scheduled for the first half of 2024.
