In 2010, Guyana Lands and Surveys Commission in its land use planning map for Region 6 list the area
for the development of a deep sea port, new airport runway of 1.2km and an industrial park
The GCIE location can also service import/export of agricultural and other goods which are transported
from the landlocked state of Roraima in Brazil, when the Brazil/Guyana road is completed
A report prepared by the study team of the Ministry of Shipping, Government of India (1), on the
construction of a deep sea port in Guyana, also identified the eastern bank of the Berbice River as the
preferred location
Quote from this Report: "The aforementioned factors strongly suggest need for a deep sea port with a
modern container terminal in Guyana. This will greatly improve Guyana's maritime access, reduce its
dependence on transshipment of its cargo at a Caribbean port resulting in savings in freight/handling
costs and also help Guyana reap economic benefits from its integration into North East Brazil. The
ideal location for this purpose appears to be New Amsterdam near the mouth of Berbice River
considering the available channel depth and large tract of available land suitable for multi user
terminals with ancillary facilities."
