HPDP, CCCC Team Up on Sydney Container Terminal Development

Harbor-Port Development Partners (HPDP) has started talks with China Communications Construction Company Limited (CCCC), the world’s largest port construction and design company, on arrangements related to the design, construction and ownership of a marine container terminal in Sydney, Nova Scotia. 

CCCC plans to undertake the design and construction of Sydney’s container terminal including all required infrastructure.

In addition, CCCC will provide container cranes, gantries and other port related equipment, including any required design and engineering. Concurrently, CCCC will undertake a feasibility study on the development of the overall container terminal, and define the development plan for this facility to be located on the Greenfield site.

HPDP and CCCC are also engaged in discussions involving potential equity participation by CCCC in the port development project. CCCC and HPDP also agreed to work together on related infrastructure projects that may arise in the course of this billion dollar plus multiyear project.

“We are proud to have CCCC as a partner in this project. They share our vision regarding the unique opportunity to design and build a next generation highly automated facility which will serve the ultra large container vessels for decades to come. We welcome a Chinese consortium joining our Canadian team and look forward to working with CCCC in building out our super-hub in Sydney”, said Albert Barbusci, Chief Executive Officer, Harbor-Port Development Partners. 

“Given its strategic location CCCC views Sydney’s deep water harbour as a potential game changer for the North American eastern seaboard. As a partner, CCCC brings global experience, state of the art technology and financial strength to this project. We expect to have our first working visit to Sydney early in the New Year,” said Chang Yunbo, Vice President of CCCC.

Cape Breton Regional Municipality has recently officially granted HPDP the exclusive right to market the port of Sydney for development, including building the financial and operating consortium to construct a state of the art container terminal and logistic park able to accommodate the latest generation of ultra large container vessels.
