Project Ǵrmabmé delayed and over budget

Author: Milân Hežist́ḱi

Guzda - The Ǵrmabmé Project, a deep-water port, (nicknamed project deep-link) was first proposed in 2010 by than PM Osḱar Ṕet́opi as a way to alleviate maritime traffic in Agausia's only other deep-water port in the capital. The harbor in Tamara was completed by the soviets in 1958 and has served as the nation's main import and export terminal. On Friday the Ministry of Economy, Infrastructure and Development announced that the completion of Project Deep-Link was, yet again, going to be delayed. The ministry also mentioned that the project was over budget but declined to add further details regarding any added costs.

Although first proposed in 2010, construction of the Ǵrmabmé Project did not begin until late 2013. Originally the project was forecasted to be finished in 2019 but was postponed after a corruption scandal rocked the company spearheading construction. After a year of trying to find a new company, the port was scheduled to be finished by early 2024 and was still expected to be on budget.

The project has faced harsh criticisms throughout its construction. In 2016 former president Eduard Avagâni (AL) attempted to cancel the project after a report was published alleging that several high-ranking Social Democratic politicians took kickbacks for providing contracts to certain companies. However, Avagâni and his administration were taken to court for violating the terms of the contract and was ridiculed for acting without concrete evidence. In 2018 the courts sided with the construction companies and ordered that the harbor's construction continuation was legal and should be carried out.

The new completion date for the harbor is set for the spring of 2026. In their announcement the ministry cited logistical issues caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and soaring prices as the main factors in the delay. It must also be noted that back in March, in response to Putin's actions, a Russian construction company hired to help in the construction was fired.
