Guernsey Ports proposal revealed May 11, 2021, by Zlatan Hrvacevic
The States’ Trading Supervisory Board (STSB), a committee of the States of Guernsey government, is proposing construction of a new port for freight and fuel imports that would free up valuable space around the island’s existing main harbours.
The recommendation of the STSB comes after a comprehensive review of the island’s harbour requirements.
According to the proposal, STSB is recommending that all commercial port activity is moved away from St Sampson’s Harbour to a new facility south of the Longue Hougue land reclamation site. That would leave the current harbour to focus on providing facilities for leisure boating.
