Rain delays Kampot port construction
Construction of the US$100 million Kampot sea port had been further delayed by rain, materials not being available and incomplete preparations, a local investor revealed yesterday. Vinh Huor, president of the Kampot Special Economic Zone, (KSEZ) said of the delay: “We are preparing to be better, and that may take some time. I am in Kampot preparing for the works to be well organised. … In early May, Huor said construction of the port would begin in September because the company was constructing roads and filling in land for the port at a total cost of $25 million. A report published by the Post in August, 2009 said the overall KSEZ project was expected to cost at least $80 million and the port itself would cost $18 million. …
