| Description | The objective of the TA is to improve the low-traffic maritime transport conditions and safety, and induce access of the remote maritime communities to employment and marketing opportunities in the mainstream markets of PNG. The TA will prepare an investment program for installation of minor port and maritime safety infrastructure to facilitate safer and more economical remote water-route transport and identify a policy and institutional frameworks to ensure sustainability of the priority investments. The TA will target poverty reduction and maximum involvement of the private sector. The scope of the TA includes preparation of a feasibility study examining (i) small infrastructure required to facilitate maritime and river transport, (ii) technical, institutional, and policy solutions for improving safety of small craft operations, and (iii) establish shipping services along low-traffic maritime and river transport routes. The feasibility study will be in accordance with the internationally accepted criteria for assessing economic, technical, institutional, social and environmental, poverty reduction, and policy improvements. This will identify sustainable and effective delivery mechanism for maintenance of the proposed facilities and programs, and organizational, institutional, and human resource improvements, and cost recovery systems that will enable effective and consistent operation and maintenance of the required facilities. |
