The article associates approximately US$750 million with three phases of deep-water-port development; that amount is not presented here as the cost of phase one alone."},{"heading":"Dimensions and phase plans reported on 17 September","sourceIds":["september-en"],"text":"The 17 September report on the PAS–FASMEC MOU lists a different terminal schedule: phase one, 350 metres long and 14.5 metres deep, due in March 2027; phase two, 400 metres and 16.5 metres, expected to start at the end of 2026; phase three, 430 metres and 17.5 metres, expected to start in early 2027 within a stated 2027–2030 period. These are the plans reported on that date."},{"heading":"The two schedules require further clarification","sourceIds":["march-en","september-en"],"text":"The sources give 2028 and March 2027 respectively for what each calls the first phase.
