Aecon has appointed Update Group to offer MEP/FP services for a major port construction project in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Located in the capital city of Kingstown, the $170 million contract from the government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines will be to develop a modernised cargo port and terminal area on a 6.5 hectare site. Port Kingstown handles a wide range of vessel traffic - from deep-sea cargo liner services to inter-island ferries to cruise ships.

Additional project scope includes a container storage yard, break-bulk vehicle storage and maintenance areas, relocating a sewer outfall line, as well as road upgrades and strengthening within the port catchment area.
