nerated plan of the intended reconfiguration of Elizabeth Harbour Picture: Supplied by Ports of Jersey

PORTS of Jersey has signed a contract for the design of construction work to reconfigure Elizabeth Harbour.

A delivery partnership, led by VolkerFitzpatrick, VolkerStevin and Geomarine, with specialist supply chain partners Arup and Boskalis, was selected following a procurement process.

It will see the development of detailed designs for construction work to reconfigure Elizabeth Harbour as part of Ports of Jersey’s wider Harbour Master Plan.

Planning permission for the Elizabeth Harbour project was granted in November 2024.

As well as reconfiguring the harbour to expand and improve freight facilities, the Elizabeth Terminal will be replaced and external public areas will be redesigned.

The contract to design the construction work paves the way for work on the harbour to start in autumn 2026.

The project is then due to span two years from autumn 2026 to winter 2028.
