While there have been a lot of announcements about this project, “the biggest project in the history of mankind” will require $50 billion to build this 173 mile long canal. Where is the money going to come from?\u00a0 The subject is explored here in a Miami Herald article.<\/p>\n

MEXICO CITY — The Chinese tycoon behind a plan to build a mammoth inter-oceanic waterway to compete with the Panama Canal whisked into Nicaragua this week and, in several appearances, including one with President Daniel Ortega, affirmed that \u201cthe biggest construction project in the history of mankind\u201d has a green light.<\/p>\n

In a lengthy appearance on state television Tuesday night, Ortega sat next to Wang Jing, the Chinese telecommunications magnate who\u2019s been pushing the plan, and pledged that the proposed canal \u201cwill permit the country to eradicate poverty and misery.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two promised that environmental damage during construction of the canal _ at 173 miles long, more than three times the length of the one in Panama _ will be minimal. Construction will begin late this year and be finished within five years, they said. As many as 5,100 ships a year would use it to pass between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.<\/p>\n

Wang flew into Nicaragua on a private jet over the weekend, and his team has been offering details about the project in a series of appearances that have been live-streamed on the Internet from Nicaraguan state television. The 41-year-old entrepreneur told university students that the project will bring \u201cradical change\u201d to Nicaragua, the Western Hemisphere\u2019s second poorest nation, and spread wealth \u201cto the whole country.\u201d<\/p>\n

What went completely unanswered were two basic questions: Who\u2019s going to pay for a canal with an estimated cost of $50 billion? Is China\u2019s hidden hand at play?<\/p>\n

Ortega, in his appearance Tuesday night, cast the project as unstoppable and historically inevitable. He held up a fraying blue-bound book that he said was a U.S. feasibility study for a canal in Nicaragua signed by then-President Grover Cleveland and presented to the U.S. House of Representatives in the 1880s.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a document that says a lot about the necessity and importance of a canal for Nicaragua,\u201d Ortega said, opening its pages and pulling out an accordion-folded map.<\/p>\n

Technology will allow a canal to be built with minimal impact, he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne hundred eighteen years ago, environmentalism wasn\u2019t even a concern. When a road punched through the forest, it was a matter of joy,\u201d Ortega said.<\/p>\n

In a presentation a day earlier, the chief engineer for the Hong Kong-based company that has the 50-year concession to build and operate the canal said the trans-isthmus waterway could handle 5 percent of world maritime trade.<\/p>\n

Dong Yunsong said the canal would traverse Lake Nicaragua, a huge inland sea, and be roughly 750 to 1,740 feet wide and at least 87 feet deep, able to accept vessels half again as large as the largest that the 100-year-old Panama Canal will handle once an expansion project is finished in early 2016, according to an official account on the government website el19digital.com.<\/p>\n

The project would entail construction of steel and cement factories, highways, a tourist complex and deepwater ports at Brito on the Pacific Coast and Punta Aguila on the Atlantic side, Dong said. An airport with capacity for 1 million passengers a year will be built north of Rivas, a city on Lake Nicaragua\u2019s western shores.<\/p>\n

Dong said 50,000 workers would be needed during a five-year construction phase, and some 200,000 direct and indirect jobs would be created once the canal is operational.<\/p>\n

The huge amount of earth dug up for the canal would be deposited at 41 sites along its course, Dong said.<\/p>\n

Some of those sites are infertile or of little agricultural value and would be bulldozed to create new farm and pasture land, Ortega said.<\/p>\n

Dong said the company would create a 155-square-mile lake to hold the water to operate some of the locks for the canal, which he said would be near the confluence of the Eloisa and Punta Gorda rivers on the Atlantic side and near the village of Rio Grande on the Pacific side.<\/p>\n

The plans have caught the attention of major world shipping lines, some of whose ships won\u2019t be able to transit even an expanded Panama Canal because they\u2019re too large.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur posture has always been that infrastructure is needed to develop trade,\u201d said Ariel Frias Ducoudray, the marketing and communications manager in Panama for Maersk Line, part of a Danish conglomerate that includes what\u2019s widely considered the world\u2019s biggest shipping company.<\/p>\n

Pointing out that Maersk isn\u2019t \u201cendorsing the Nicaraguan canal itself,\u201d Frias noted that the company owns six of the world\u2019s largest ships, known as Triple-E vessels. The ships are longer than four football fields _ 1,312 feet, to be precise _ and can carry up to 18,000 20-foot shipping containers, so large that not a single port in the Americas can handle them; they sail only on routes between Europe and Asia.<\/p>\n

Maersk will have 20 of the ships by the end of next year, Frias said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would make sense to have a canal that would take these kinds of vessels, and that cannot go through the expanded Panama Canal,\u201d Frias said.<\/p>\n

Whether Wang is the man to carry out such a task is an open question. A tycoon whose 19-year-old company, Xinwei Telecom, has operations in Cambodia, Ukraine, Russia, Zimbabwe, Cameroon and two dozen other countries, Wang has been coy about his background and wealth but not about his high-level connections to China\u2019s ruling Communist Party.<\/p>\n

Several Nicaraguan businessmen invited to China late last year to meet with Wang and tour his operations came away with the impression that China\u2019s government was behind the canal project.<\/p>\n

Opponents of Ortega, a former Marxist guerrilla who\u2019s reinvented himself as pro-business, claim the canal project is a \u201ccuento chino,\u201d literally a \u201cChinese story\u201d but an idiom that means a deception, designed to build hopes in the country.<\/p>\n

Wang, dressed in a stylish suit and light blue tie, told students at Managua\u2019s engineering university Monday evening that he\u2019s received sharp criticism.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never pay attention to praise but I welcome criticism,\u201d he said, adding that his team had hired leading global consultants to address environmental concerns.<\/p>\n

He urged the university students to study hard.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project will be the biggest construction project in the history of mankind. We need a lot of talent,\u201d Wang said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
