Government unveils illustration for final plans of the Port of Mount Vema

April 20, 2021 – The Mount Vema Ministry of National Development and Land Maintenance has unveiled the final plans of the Port of Mount Vema as a guide to help project coordinators, 3D designers, and architects working on the City of Mount Vema projects, including engineers to prepare and submit final designs.  
 
The Port of Mount Vema was first redesigned in 2018 to move the Airport south of the Island to add a second runway to the Mount Vema international airport project. However, this time it has been redesigned to increase manoeuvrability of large ships.
 
The Port of Mount Vema will have a berth capacity of about 12 kilometers and will be among the few deep-water ports in the world capable of handling ships of any size and handle every kind of traffic.
 
The port will have significant international traffic and customs facilities, harbor pilots and tugboats to maneuver large ships in tight quarters when near docks. It will combine all services, including cruise home port where cruise-ship passengers will board getting on or off ship (or embark) to start their cruise and disembark the cruise ship at the end of their cruise.
 
It is also where the cruise ship's supplies will be loaded for the cruise, which will include everything from fresh water and fuel to fruits, vegetables, champagne, and any other supplies needed for the cruise.  Port of call services will also be provided where cargo ships may take on supplies or fuel, as well as unloading and loading cargo.
