The deadlines for requests for qualifications for two major construction jobs at Ships’ Wharf in the East End have been extended.

Bermuda Land Development Company Limited announced yesterday that applicants will be able to submit their qualifications for the cargo port until June 29 and until October 23 for a power station.

Francis Mussenden, BLDC chief executive officer, said: “To date, the interest in these projects has been significant.

“Following recent meetings with registered proponents, we have determined that extending the deadlines is in the best interest of both the projects and Bermuda as a whole.”
