Guyana’s first artificial island, which is part of the reclaimed land that will be transformed into the estimated 44-acre mega-project for the shore base facility, is being constructed in the Demerara River.

The project managers Vreed-en-Hoop Shore Base Inc (VESHI) have warned that the site remains an active construction zone and landing on the island is prohibited. The island structure, while visible, is not yet a fully stable formation. The team is therefore urging all to remain clear of the construction zone and to adhere to the previously issued notices.

It said phase one of the project is meant to be the special purpose vehicle to serve as a SURF (Subsea Umbilicals, Riser and Flowlines) Shorebase for Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited (EEPGL) projects.

The project is currently in the sand key reclamation phase. During this phase, the dredger, M.V Galileo Galilei, will continue the process of adding reclaimed material for the creation of the artificial island on which the construction of the new terminal will be situated.

Vreed-en-Hoop Shorebase Inc.is a joint venture between NRG Holdings Inc.—a 100 percent Guyanese-owned consortium that is the majority shareholder –and Jan De Nul, an international maritime infrastructure company headquartered in Luxembourg

It said the project started the first step in June, which entailed the dredging of the access channel in the Demerara River including the deepening and widening of the existing nautical channel, berth pockets, and turning basin.

This phase has been hailed a success by the project managers and the upgraded channel has been handed over to the Maritime Administration Department (MARAD)

VESHI is currently the largest Guyanese private sector investment in the oil and gas sector and is expected to cost over US$300 million.

According to the project directors, the support and encouragement given by the government of Guyana have been reassuring and augur well for additional investment and the future of Guyana. The project is expected to become operational in 2023.
