Guam Port improvement underway

Scheduled to be completed in two years, the project, along with other on-going investments, will modernise the port to meet the island’s commercial growth needs, as well as an expanding military presence.

The project is being administered by the Maritime Administration (MARAD) of the Department of Transportation on behalf of the Department of Defence (DOD).

Speaking at the project’s ground breaking, Congresswoman Madeleine Bordallo of Guam said the project was, “yet another demonstration of the Obama Administration’s continued support and focus on the rebalance of forces in the Pacific and to ensuring that Guam’s infrastructure requirements are supported and beneficial to the people of Guam”.
