The deadline for investors to submit qualification requirements for Anaklia Port expired on June 19. However, it is not yet known whether the investors have submitted the application or not.
The government has announced that it will build the deep-water port of Anaklia in partnership with a private investor, although the investor will own a 49% stake, while 51% will remain in the hands of the state.
The Prime Minister has announced several times that the government will start the construction of the port in the fall. If no changes are made to the application for the private partner selection process, interested parties have to submit a final application until July 28.
At the same time, two arbitration disputes continue with the previous investor of the project, "Anaklia Development Consortium", which indicates that due to the destructive actions of the government, they were deprived of the opportunity to develop the project.
