Project Description

The Bahamas Government is determining strategies to maximize cruise tourism by developing the existing port at Prince George Wharf – Nassau Cruise Port. Renovation and the expansion of the port will increase the capacity and allow passengers a better experience.

Nassau Cruise Port project is developing Nassau into one of the great waterfronts of the world. The project involves the redevelopment of the port. The project will enhance the passenger experience and provide additional business opportunities for the local population. The project will also include the building of a new terminal building; the creation of an event and entertainment area; investments in retail facilities for new and expanding Bahamian brands; and the design and construction of new food and beverage facilities. It will integrate the port into Bay Street and downtown Nassau, with the expectation that it will act as a catalyst for the wider development of the downtown area.

ENKA signed the contract for Marine Works of the Nassau Cruise Port project in June 2020 and Upland Works in May 2021.

The Marine and Upland Works contracts include EPC works for the expansion of the existing Cruise Pier, combi-wall works on Prince George Wharf, construction of 2 new marinas for tour boats, dredging, expanding the port area by reclaiming and renovating / refurbishing of existing piers, arrival building, Junkanoo museum, Signature restaurant, amphitheatre, 3 pier buildings, canopies, town square, market place, landscape works and all relevant construction, mechanical, electrical and architectural activities.

With the completion of all construction activities, Nassau Cruise Port is expected to welcome over 4 million passengers in 2023.
