Port Victoria will expand
The Seychelles commercial port expansion and rehabilitation project has fallen behind schedule, but it will succeed, recently assured the government of the country. The project will be supported to the tune of $35 million by the French Development Agency and the European Investment Bank., and 6 million by the European Union. The Seychelles will have to find an almost equivalent sum, particularly in the context of public-private partnerships, to successfully complete the entire project (creation of two 300 meter quays, dredging of the basin and entrance channel)
