The project delivers 4 key outputs: 1. Safety and capacity of port infrastructure enhanced. The project will upgrade the port terminal to enhance capacity and bring it to safe operating standards by procuring tugboats and implementing a wave-monitoring system. 2. Preparedness and resilience of port operations to climate change and natural hazards enhanced. The project will reconstruct the breakwater and repair damaged areas in the port by upgrading associated infrastructure, such as lighting, for port users' safe use of the Apia port and container handling. 3. Border security and trade facilitation capacity enhanced. The project will procure a new container x-ray scanner, which will be installed in the new customs examination facility to be financed under the project. 4. Gender-sensitive green port initiatives (GPIs) piloted. The project will deliver a gender-sensitive green port policy and will pilot at least three gender-sensitive GPIs. Green port practices will be mainstreamed into the operation of the Samoa Port Authority.
