The first phase of the new port will cost approximately US $679 million and will take 42 months to complete. This covers construction of the 2.2km long breakwater, a 6km long navigation channel, a multi-purpose quay, another quay with three berths to accommodate container ships with a maximum capacity of 8,000-TEUs, berths for workboats, storage yards, and a retaining wall.
Upon completion, the project will see Nigeria having one of the largest deepwater ports in West Africa.
