Developer planning airport at Lusignan with runway into Atlantic Ocean

Plans are forging ahead to transform the Lusignan, East Coast Demerara shoreline with an airport that builds out north into the Atlantic Ocean and a 115-room hotel, at the property that local engineer Harrychand Tulsi, hopes to make into an oil and gas business centre and disaster relief hub.

When completed, the property will house the Orinduik Marine Services Inc (OMS), Institute of Maritime Training & Advanced Research (IMTAR), Lusignan Hotel Inc, Lusignan Aviation Centre Inc (LACI), and ODITC facility, which is a joint venture with Guyana’s Orinduik Development Incorporated, Windsor Technologies, and 3t EnerMech.

“We have changed course [from building on land], but to build out in the ocean requires a lot more engineering and a lot more designing. So we have hired specialists; an engineering company out of the US to do the designs. [This] is a company that specialises in this type of works…” Tulsi told the Sunday Stabroek in an interview as he outlined plans for the companies he founded.
