The Cebu Port Authority (CPA) bared that the procurement of civil works for the construction of New Cebu International Container Port Project (NCICPP) in Tayud, Consolacion is underway and if the schedule will proceed as planned, the groundworks will finally begin in August 2021.
This was revealed by CPA during the 160th Maritime Forum of the Maritime League.

The NCICP Project costs around P9,962,000,000.00 which will be financed through the $172.64-M loan agreement signed in 2018 by the Philippine government and South Korea’s Export Import Bank of Korea (KEXIM) equivalent to P8.48-B and a counterpart fund of around P1.28-B by the Philippine National Government.
