The costs for the first two phases were given as up to 45 million US dollars , for phase 3 with US $ 18 million. The company Anse Royale Express , which had only been founded a year earlier, had already been awarded the contract to build and operate the facility .

In phases 1 and 2, from north to south, six stops were planned:

• Anse Etoile in the northeast of the island
• Perseverance for the offshore island of the same name and the island of Port Island, which was reclaimed
• Victoria , in the capital of the Seychelles
