## First-phase progress at the end of March

The report published on 1 April 2026 cites the March progress and construction-safety meeting: approximately 64.53% of first-phase work on the new deep-water container terminal had been completed by the end of March, with completion scheduled for 2028. 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.

## Dimensions and phase plans reported on 17 September

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.

## The two schedules require further clarification

The sources give 2028 and March 2027 respectively for what each calls the first phase. They do not supply enough evidence to establish a scope difference, the date of a formal schedule revision or actual completion. This page preserves both attributions, assumes neither supersedes the other and confirms no current deadline. It uses editions read on 28 October 2026.
