PERU SEEKS ASSISTANCE FOR NATIONAL PORTS PLAN

The IPA is to receive $1.5 billion from international donors according to Mahmood Salih Abdul-Nabi, the incoming director general, who says that the authority is considering the possibility of perhaps eventually seeking a single management company to run both ports in a privatised environment, with AP Moller responding by saying that it would bid for such a contract.

It has limited funds of its own but wants to hire at least two companies to undertake the studies, part of which could well be funded by the Andean Development Corporation and USAID.
