The Tunisian Company Bizerte Port Autonome “BPA SA”, has just presented to the Department of Transportation, a preliminary study for the creation of a deepwater port at Bizerte, in accordance with modern standards.
Kais Laribi, CEO of “BPA SA” told TAP the project, which takes into account the impacts on the nearby maritime and forest environment, will create, three years after the establishment of the port, 37,830 direct jobs (administrative and port) and indirect ones.
The company chose to create this port in Bizerte, given its strategic position, the importance of maritime traffic and the crossing of at least two hundred vessels per day.
