Government & PPP
One permanent company. Flexible project structures.
BlueHarbor Marine & Engineering Ltd is a permanent Ghanaian operating company with the capacity to originate, structure, coordinate, participate in and deliver marine, engineering, industrial, infrastructure and workforce-related projects.
For government, public-sector and public–private partnership engagements, the appropriate delivery structure will be determined by the nature, scale, funding model and institutional requirements of each project. This may include direct contracting, strategic partnerships, consortium arrangements, joint ventures, special purpose entities, programme-management structures or other approved project delivery models.
BlueHarbor remains the principal operating platform through which its technical capability, management systems, strategic partnerships, workforce capacity and project-development expertise are deployed.
Where a project-specific entity is appropriate, such a structure may be established to facilitate investment, governance, financing, risk allocation, implementation or participation by government and private-sector partners.
