The Government of Dominica has shared that it officially solidified this undertaking on Friday, May 2, 2025, by signing a contract with local firm Offshore Civil &amp; Marine Inc.<\/p>\n<p>A press release from the prime minister&#8217;s office listed the primary objectives of this project as being multifaceted, aiming to enhance maritime safety and bolster the operational capacity of the port. Beyond these infrastructure improvements, the new jetty is anticipated to be a catalyst for economic activity, strengthen disaster preparedness capabilities, and provide vital support to both the fisheries and tourism sectors within the community.<\/p>\n<p>The government reports that the existing jetty will be demolished to make way for the new structure. The press release also said that the new facility will be a 65-metre-long reinforced concrete deck, supported by 26 tubular steel piles. Included in the design are essential infrastructure for modern port operations, such as potable water access, lighting to facilitate night-time activities, and critical docking equipment like fenders, bollards, and ladders.<\/p>\n<p>Upon completion, the upgraded facility is expected to significantly benefit the local fisheries sector by offering safer and more reliable docking options for fishers, explained the government. This enhancement is projected to stimulate community and economic development. Furthermore, the jetty will serve a vital role in disaster preparedness and response, providing a reliable access point for the delivery of emergency supplies and supporting evacuation efforts in the wake of storms or hurricanes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_341254\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-341254\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-341254 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/495476305_17995875857789335_7772192661528595691_n-1024x768-1-642x482.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/495476305_17995875857789335_7772192661528595691_n-1024x768-1-642x482.jpg 642w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/495476305_17995875857789335_7772192661528595691_n-1024x768-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/495476305_17995875857789335_7772192661528595691_n-1024x768-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/495476305_17995875857789335_7772192661528595691_n-1024x768-1-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/495476305_17995875857789335_7772192661528595691_n-1024x768-1.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-341254\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: OPM Dominica<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Hon.
