The local government has awarded US construction giant Bechtel a contract to build a commercial port with a projected handling capacity of 8 million tonnes.
A joint venture of unnamed Malaysian companies will build Sirte International Airport. The eventual site will have capacity for 2 million passengers a year. The airport will include passenger and VIP terminals.
Further contracts are expected to be awarded soon to construction groups seeking to build road and other transport links to both the port and airport.
