GPH is set to invest XCD 135 million as they lease the ports from the government of Saint Lucia for 30 years, managing the cruise sector and investing in portside infrastructure development.

“The ports are not sold. What we have is a new economic arrangement and I don't think we have presented that idea enough. We are renting the ports to them for 30 years, they will control it, develop it, and pay the government. GPH will employ people and improve the quality of life…I want GPH to treat the people of Saint Lucia well. I am not signing anything that will cause our people harm,” said Prime Minister Pierre at the ceremony to commemorate the commencement of the project.

The Saint Lucia Air and Seaports Authority (SLASPA) officially ​transferred the management of its cruise port operations to GPH on April 30th.
