Project Description
TNPA issued a request for proposals (RFPs) in December 2023 for the appointment of suitable terminal operators to fund, design, develop, operate, maintain and transfer the liquid bulk and/or green fuel terminals for a concession period of 25 years.
The RFP is issued as part of Phase 1 of the South Dunes Precinct development, which includes five sites identified by TNPA.
