Three working days prior to the parliamentary elections Georgian Dream made its election program public. The document touches upon the large-scale infrastructural projects in transport sector including the construction of the new terminal in Poti, and development of Batumi Port and Anaklia deep sea port. However, election program of the ruling party does not specify when it is planned to announce a new international tender on Anaklia.
“To develop the port infrastructure, it is planned to expand APM Terminas in Poti and build a new terminal of the Pace Group, which has already started with OPIC’s $50 million funding). Also, in Batumi a new terminal is being built with the investment coming from TRAMO GROUP. State will support to develop Anaklia deep sea port” – GD election program reads.
Recent actions and comments by the Georgian Government appear to have exposed its true intentions to promote Poti and to turn its back on Anaklia as the location of a future world-class seaport – Anaklia Development Consortium (ADC) issued a special statement yesterday.
