The design and build contract covers the construction of a container terminal, four berths, and 1,300-metre-long quay wall in addition to port buildings and utilities, digging and soil improvement works and site levelling. The port's total handling capacity will be 2.5 million 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs) a year when it opens in 2010.

The contract is the third on the estimated $1,500 million port scheme. A Chinese/local group is low bidder for the first phase, covering the access bridge and road, while prequalification has been completed for the estimated $500 million second phase dredging package (MEED 25:8:06).
