The selected consultant will be required to prepare traffic demand and forecast reports to assess industrial growth in the hinterland and to recommend capacity requirements. Technical studies will include mathematical modelling of storm surges and design waves, along with mooring analysis and navigational planning. The consultant will also prepare detailed plans for port craft and navigational aids and will draft tender documents under engineering, procurement and construction, public private partnership and hybrid annuity models.

The scope further covers environmental and resilience assessments, cargo handling layouts, berth design and hinterland connectivity proposals to enable multimodal logistics. Risk mitigation measures and adaptation strategies for extreme weather events are to be incorporated into the designs. The contract for the DPR assignment is scheduled for completion within 18 months of award.

The DPRs are intended to provide a roadmap for phased investments and procurement to improve efficiency, security and sustainability at the four ports. They are expected to support industrial growth in the adjoining areas and to facilitate quicker project execution through clear tender documentation. The GMB move aligns with efforts to bolster the state’s position as a leading maritime hub and to enhance regional supply chain resilience.

Stakeholders in shipping, trade and regional industry will be able to use the DPRs to guide investment decisions and to prioritise connectivity projects. The studies are also intended to inform regulatory clearances and environmental management planning.
