The Port of Guam in the central Pacific has started construction on its $50 million improvement project that will add 10 acres to the container and breakbulk yards and reconfigure the port and the entrance gate for more rapid and secure freight movements.
The project is administered by the Maritime Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense.
Along with other ongoing investments, the port modernization will meet the needs of an expanding U.S. military presence on Guam, as well as the island’s commercial growth.
The construction work is scheduled to last two years.
