Nicaragua-kanal byggeri starter i august

Konstruktionen af en brændstofterminal og en anløbskaj i forbindelse med det 50 milliarder dollar dyre Nicaragua kanal projekt forventes at begynde i august ifølge Bloomberg, der citerer projektets entreprenør HKND Group.

Ifølge HKND Group’s vicedirektør KW Pang, er en delvis konstruktion af en havnefacilitet til import af maskiner nødvendig for de større arbejder såsom uddybning.

Bygningen af kanalen var planlagt til at starte i 2015 og forventedes at være afsluttet i løbet af fem år, så kanalen kunne være operationel i 2020. Imidlertid blev projektstarten med opførelsen af sluser og de store gravearbejder forsinket, da HKND Group havde brug for mere tid til at finjustere udformningen af projektet.

Desuden er det endnu ikke helt fastlagt, hvordan projektet endeligt skal finansieres. Der kan ifølge Bloomberg både blive tale om at lånefinansiere kanalen, danne et aktieselskab eller finde finansiel støtte fra en lang række internationale investorer.

HKND Group fik en miljøgodkendelse fra Nicaraguas regering for kanalprojektet i november 2015, da det beviseligt ville have positive miljømæssige og sociale virkninger. Godkendelsen kom, trods miljømæssige bekymringer fra den lokale befolkning og flere ngo organisationer, der hævder, at projektet ville forurene vandforsyningen.

Nicaragua Canal Grande bliver omkring 260 kilometer, 230 til 520 meter bred og 27,6 meter dyb, hvilket gør den længere, bredere og dybere end Panama-kanalen.
