You are really doing a great job. I want to assure you that we will look into the issue of concession renewal and make sure that this is wrapped up in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll the challenges being faced by your business have been outlined and we have begun consulting relevant agencies to make sure that we tackle them headlong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe maritime sector is dear to my heart and with the right atmosphere it can become the major earner for government. We will make sure that this terminal will operate at maximum capacity in no time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr John Jenkins, MD, Ports &amp; Cargo Handling Services Limited, while welcoming the minister noted that the company was committed to exploring the potentials of the maritime sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added that SIFAX Group, the parent company, was continually investing in the terminal in order to deliver best value for all customers and grow the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Capt.
