Sekou A. M. Dukuly, disclosed the plan on Thursday when he appeared before the Liberian Senate. Hon. Dukuly said the deepening of the Freeport&#8217;s navigational channels and waterways is expected to improve access for larger, deeper-draft vessels that may currently face operational restrictions due to water-depth limitations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once implemented, the project could enable the port to accommodate increased cargo volumes, improve vessel turnaround times, and strengthen its capacity to support Liberia&#8217;s growing import and export activities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The initiative also has the potential to reduce shipping constraints, improve cargo-handling efficiency, and enhance the overall competitiveness of the Freeport of Monrovia within the regional maritime industry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As Liberia&#8217;s principal commercial seaport, the Freeport of Monrovia plays a critical role in facilitating international trade, supporting businesses, generating government revenue, and connecting the national economy to global markets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Improving the port&#8217;s waterways would represent an important step toward strengthening this vital economic gateway.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The proposed development could also encourage increased private-sector participation, attract international maritime investment, and create opportunities for employment and economic growth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">MD Dukuly told senators that the planned dredging project reflects the National Port Authority&#8217;s commitment to addressing infrastructure challenges and preparing Liberia&#8217;s maritime sector for future growth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to Hon Dukuly, the Successful implementation would require comprehensive hydrographic surveys, engineering assessments, environmental safeguards, financial planning, and coordination with relevant government institutions and maritime stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Particular attention would be given to ensuring that dredging activities comply with applicable maritime safety and environmental protection requirements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The National Port Authority&#8217;s proposed waterway deepening initiative signals a forward-looking approach to improving Liberia&#8217;s maritime infrastructure and strengthening the country&#8217;s role in regional and international trade.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By creating conditions for larger vessels to access the Freeport of Monrovia, the Authority aims to position Liberia to benefit from evolving global shipping demands while supporting national economic development.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The initiative underscores the importance of modern, efficient, safe, and competitive port facilities in advancing Liberia&#8217;s long-term economic transformation.<\/p>\n<p>Source :
