The Falkland Islands Development Corporation (FIDC) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to appoint a consultancy firm for a comprehensive feasibility study concerning the potential development of a new marina in Stanley Harbour.
The initiative aims to assess the technical, environmental and economic possibility of establishing a modern marina to serve local maritime needs and provide wider economic development in the region.
The proposed marina is also expected to support the growing demand for yachting infrastructure and promote community-based opportunities within the Falkland Islands.
Zachary Franklin, Managing Director of FIDC, described the announcement as a milestone in the region: “The issuance of this RFP marks a significant step forward in our strategic vision for sustainable coastal development.”
“We are seeking a consultancy partner with the global expertise and local insight to not only assess the technical and economic aspects of the proposed marina but also to provide clear recommendations to support its successful implementation,” Franklin added.
FIDC’s RFP invites qualified firms with experience in marine and coastal infrastructure projects to submit their proposals by Monday, 16 June 2025.
The selected firm will deliver a comprehensive study that includes market analysis, environmental and social impact assessments, technical planning, risk evaluation and a financial model tailored to the Stanley Harbour site. The contract is set to be awarded on Monday, 30 June 2025.
