Guyana’s Maritime Administration Department (MARAD), under the Ministry of Public Utilities and Aviation, signs a US$11.2 million contract with Boskalis CPG Inc. for dredging work on the Demerara channel. The dredging project covers the channel section from Houston to Golden Grove (also referenced as Golden Grove, East Bank Demerara). The contract is signed during a ceremony attended by the Minister of Public Utilities and Aviation, Deodat Indar.
Both outlets report the same contract value and contractor, and they place the signing within MARAD’s remit under the same ministry. They also describe the dredging area consistently as the Demerara Channel segment between Houston and Golden Grove. The coverage does not provide additional technical details such as expected timelines, dredging volumes, or performance requirements, nor does it include information on financing beyond the stated contract amount. The reports focus on the formal agreement and the announcement made at the signing ceremony.
